@balajis.eth what happens to a so called network "state" when guys with guns show up? violence is what defines the line between a country and a country club, no? ofc one can point to places like singapore but these are the historical exception, not the rule

Some answers: 1) Decentralized networks are hard to invade. You can get physically attacked in N places but take refuge in the other K. 2) Crypto networks are also hard to rob 3) You can contract with local states for protection 4) Many netizens will retain dual citizenship for a while, just as people hold BTC & USD

1) agreed but what about those people in N places? what do you propose they do? 2) what if annihilation is the goal (as it has often been throughout history), not theft? 3) outsourced market solutions (a la rothbard) makes sense but is also kind of dystopian? 4) dual citizenship in order to inherit physical protection?

1) Try negotiating with the locals. If that fails, move to one of the other K nodes with cryptographically secure digital assets & meet up with other members. Reboot there. Also, push back hard on the attackers via a movie like Kashmir Files, but in realtime. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A179apttY58
