Network States Book

I recently read "Network States" and thought the material was fantastic for people interested in innovation in governance and particularly relevant to BTC. The author suggests that the internet is a rising leviathan capable of challenging the two existing leviathans (church and state). As the currency of the internet, BTC finds itself at the fault line of future conflict between two teams; Bitcoin Orange vs Fiat Green. I am interested in discussing the book with any interested and constructive people. I am particularly interested in how network states might function as BTC citadels.

Here is an important point from the book:

· Cryptography as defense – Start-up societies are vulnerable to larger more established states. By putting the “Capital” and processes/operational structure of the Network State in the cloud, cryptography can provide the defense of the young Network State. Upset state actors can’t easily deploy violence against a Network State like they could a physical micronation or city state.

I am exploring network unions/states in a practical hands on learning way here. I posted a number of paid projects for people who want to learn with me.
