Great answer, especially the example of the test case as a means to change law through the courts.


Consider Singapore and Silk Road? "Disneyland with the Death Penalty"  Mandatory death penalty for quite a bit of what is routine on SR and Singapore is a region with much civilization.  

There are also many regions with much less civilization, and where execution is done extra-judicially by "police" and where laws are less defined.  These are places where Bitcoin and its freedoms can create disruptive change and are not going to be well represented by dues paying Foundation members, and where courts are less useful for generating good case law.  I'd agree those are a bigger challenge than the Foundation can address in the near or mid term.  
Still... leaders ought be visionary, and the time may come where you get called to do things that are difficult to imagine today.  There are foreign policy implications for each region that may ultimately be impacting Foundation activities as a governmental liaison.  

It is offered for contemplation more than for comment, but comment is certainly welcome.
