Network States

George Washington was a patriot to a country that didn’t yet exist.

Virtues determine a society. Doesn’t matter which group they’re in.

One day I’ll make it there in person. For now I’ll be there virtually!

Blackbird is legitimately the best “everyday” usable crypto app for real life and it’s not particularly close

Imagine if we had a government that could clean up crime and the homeless and fix the subways

Basically, compromise on steps but not on goals.

In detail:

1) The path to network state sovereignty is like SpaceX’s path to Mars. It’s a long-term goal, with many intermediate steps, that might last decades or even generations — but that we think is ultimately feasible.

2) You can compromise on just about anything along the way except the long-term goal. Because if you’ve abandoned the idea of sovereignty, you’ve conceded to the legacy state.

3) It’s a little like Zuck refusing to sell Facebook to Yahoo early on. They offered $1B, and he said no. Similarly there will be many threats and opportunities to sell out to the legacy state. Some will take that opportunity. But hopefully one network state will succeed.

4) In general, opponents of startup societies and network states are those most satisfied with the legacy state, usually loyal Party members. That’s why they don’t want a new state — they have one at home.

The need for Network States have only become more obvious after living in New York for a year and wondering where the exorbitant taxes I’m paying are going.

The city still has so much upside potential it may never fully realize.

Farcaster

Farcaster solves the fundamental problem with the Fediverse. It uses the blockchain for global, tamper-resistant state.

That was the issue that bedeviled Mastodon. Servers could fake everything, even user counts. They had no mechanism for decentralized consensus.

Crypto is technopolitics.

It is currency, identity, contracts, community, governance, and ultimately law.

All reimplemented in an Internet First way.
