From 1,000 Startup Communities to 1 Network State - TOKEN2049 Singapore 2023
Join visionary speaker at TOKEN2049 Singapore 2023 as he delves into the groundbreaking concept of transitioning from numerous startup communities to the creation of a singular, cohesive network state. This thought-provoking talk explores the evolution of decentralized systems beyond companies and currencies to forming new cities and even countries.
Our speaker proposes the innovative idea of the network state: a decentralized country that exists through a collective digital population scattered globally but unified in vision and purpose. Just as Bitcoin revolutionized currency through decentralization, a network state envisions a nation without borders, connected by the internet, where digital citizenship becomes a primary identity.
The discussion highlights the potential of forming large, global communities akin to historical nation-states but built on modern digital platforms. Through examples like Bitcoin’s recognition by nations and the ever-increasing number of sovereign states, the speaker provides an insightful analysis of how technological and societal shifts make establishing new kinds of countries not only possible but also advantageous.
Tune in to discover how this forward-thinking approach could redefine our understanding of governance and citizenship, influencing both the powerless seeking refuge from failed states and power users eager to redefine statehood.
