Can you be more specific? What countries? Diversify? How many organizations and where? Lots of pie in the sky talk...seems like.

Just start "The international bitcoin foundation" (or another name) elsewhere. There is no monopoly on it in the USA. Competition is good.

People are free to vote with their donations.

It is ironic that someone is campaigning to stop lobbying for regulation when bitcoin has a mind of its own & isn't controlled by any particular group or association. But I agree 100%. The cat is out of the bag. No one can stop the effects of crypto-currencies.

But is any publicity good publicity? Will lobbying the government, give people more time to learn about & transfer their wealth into bitcoin? Or will it cause them to cut it off quickly because they realize how uprooting it is? I personally think they are probably too arrogant to take quick action to slow bitcoin's inevitable dominance.

Even if it mattered what countries had foundations, I'm not sure there are many more free. Most countries higher than the US on economic freedom still have huge controlling/regulating governments - just maybe a tad less controlling & regulating.
