Ahead of the Network State conference in Singapore this coming Sunday, the BBC News drops this article titled "The crypto bros who dream of crowdfunding a new country": https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cwyl171lyewo TL;DR (GPT-generated): The article discusses a movement led by tech entrepreneurs like Balaji Srinivasan that envisions "network states," where tech startups form new, self-governing countries. These digital-first communities would replace traditional governments, operating with their own laws and currencies. Critics see it as corporate overreach, potentially leading to authoritarian regimes. The idea is compared to past corporate control of nations, while projects like Próspera in Honduras and Praxis in the Mediterranean are cited as early experiments in this vision. The movement mixes tech innovation with controversial alt-right ideals.
