Network States

I attended the Network State Conference last time in Amsterdam. 

Streaming it right now reminded me of why I am doing what I am doing and what it will become.

Thanks, @balajis.eth for streaming it and making this content accessible.

Born half Venezuelan/German. Moved to Germany early enough to assimilate a new culture, late enough to remain Venezuelan. Purpose entrepreneur.

And, yet again, I am reminded how fundamental purpose is to any network state. 

Currently, we are seeing many shovel sellers (which is good). But I am really looking forward to those who will dig out the gold and build actual network states driven by one commandment (which is better).

Most of current projects serve as proofs of concept, but, from my pov, none really satisfies the definition of a network state. 

Is anyone out there building a network state that considers and treats its citizens as “customers”?
