, the Foundation’s executive director and a CoinDesk contributor, commented that the plan was to provide a one-stop solution for information-seekers.

The resources available on the site act to emphasize the financial and economic benefits offered by bitcoin.

The organization's director of marketing and communications, Jinyoung Lee Englund, commented that the opacity surrounding traditional payment infrastructures makes most consumers and business owners apprehensive to the idea of bitcoin.

She said in a statement:

With an easily-navigable platform, the Foundation hopes to provide a place for those who don’t know much about bitcoin to educate themselves on both the technology and the legal and financial environment that surrounds it.

The organization has also made available past documents submitted to Congress and other regulatory bodies throughout its existence.

In turn, tax information for the organization can also be reviewed on the new website, providing an additional layer of transparency and visibility into its inner workings.
