Wonderful.  Now I have an excuse to call them the American Bitcoin Foundation Smiley

Good idea, there should be one in every country. Decentralise the foundation!

Hopefully, there will be one in every country. The most decentralized approach to forming a powerful educational and advocacy group is to allow associations to grow from the bottom-up where they are able to structure their own boards and by-laws. Networking together is then a force multiplier.

The Bitcoin Foundation seeks autonomous affiliates in every country so that we can rely on the local/regional partners for their local expertise and connections. Also, we can provide infrastructure support to their organization that dramatically lowers their startup time and costs, thereby making the overall mission more effective.

Makes total sense.  Each country is going to have it's own issues & local laws/regulations to interpret & deal with.

I'm sure there is plenty to share, but keeping a group in each country makes the division of labor/knowledge clear.

Nope.

We are not like DATA trying to appear as an authority over Bitcoin or The Bitcoin Foundation, which has taken large amounts of membership and used them on lobbyists. Specifically, we will help to arrange meetups, open source work, guiding and / or recommend startups Bitcoin companies and inform the Danes on Bitcoin.

Worthwhile experiment, I think.  Best of luck to them.

Let's talk governance, lipstick, and pigs.
Is this associated with the current Bitcoin Foundation?
