I&#x27;m not sure what you&#x27;re arguing? Ethereum is fully decentralized and open source. There happens to be a well funded non-profit that the community funded in order to speed up development (EthDEV). Ethereum and EthDEV are not one in the same thing. If EthDEV disappeared, ethereum would continue. That&#x27;s a little different than some Amazon owned and operated &quot;AWScoin&quot;.<p>Bitcoin also has the &quot;Bitcoin Foundation&quot; which employs lead developer Gavin Andresen, so it&#x27;s very similar.
