Well, not sure if this is the kind of thing you're talking about, but last year I established and donated some initial funding for a not-for-profit organization in the US to fund research and development into decentralized ways for people to communicate ideas over the internet in a way that isn't gameable by traditional disinformation attacks. That organization wasn't setup for Hive development work and doesn't even have any connection to cryptocurrency at all, but a similar organization could potentially be setup for Hive as well at some point.
But I think it may be more difficult to setup such an organization in the US for crypto, because my guess is that the IRS (which regulates not-for-profits) is likely to frown on any not-for-profit organization that does development for a cryptocurrency. As far as I know, such not-for-profits are usually setup in Europe.
I came here four years ago and the first thing I said was beware of the banks.
Banks is used there merely as a name everyone can relate too.
Every obstacle you mention or will. Has been hashed out over four years and regardless of laws in any jurisdiction, Methods are available.
Methods used by already established corp are merely mirrored. The law to examine for what I suggest is not crypto in this case. More to the medium of exchange. Currency. Private agreements can use any medium preferred.
Many layers yes. Many have been seen on how to overcome.
