What is the business model for network states? @balajis.eth has a great chart showing subscription revenue ($100s - 1000s / person-year) in between current consumer products and existing state taxes What goods/services can be provided to a network of people that justify this cost?

I think some sort of healthcare especially for a longevity focused network state is a really interesting idea.

Speculative revenue source: partnering with countries in an attempt mitigate problems within those countries. Ex Japanese gov considers akiya (abandoned housing) to be one of their largest social problems. Precedent for this: Mennonite settlement migration deals in Canada / other countries in 19th / 20th century

go straight to the source: energy and where you can't transmit energy for profit, transmit bits (something something fixes this) & ship photovoltaics/batteries instead. I feel like prepared farm-to-table food is only low-margin in densely-populated areas. rest stops are lindy, imho.

Social clubs charge $1000s already. Seems like one possibility to bootstrap the phenomenon. Can also do scholarships.

My line of thinking has been that network states are not rooted in physical reality. My best definition for network states so far has been this. A network state is a social group exerting voting power onchain. People are social creatures. Network states want to gather after all. So study tourism and entertainment.

Community is core requirement for a network state. What needs of the community are not currently being met? Public goods around communal wellbeing and mutual aid come to mind 💭
