I fully grok the idea of network states as online phenomena.

I struggle with their transition to the physical world.

The assumption is people we’re close to digitally are the same people we’d choose to live close to physically. 

In my experience the overlap is small at best. 

What am I missing?

The tools needed to find the people we want to lift close to physically will improve and we’ll first get close to them digitally, and then physically.

imho it would coalesce over a long time frame. Unfavorable crypto tax jurisdictions are already incentivizing exits (e.g Japan).

I imagine digital nomad visas (e.g SE Asia) start forming communities that crypto folks would seek out.

It doesn’t have to be one location, but many across the world. An archipelago.

I felt this way, too, after reading the book.

On Friday, I arrived back in the 🇺🇸 and there was 1 customs agent clearing hundreds of passengers.

Appetite for a competently administered jurisdiction went way up.

many of the examples given like keto kosher or vegan-world represent lifestyle choices. 

the idea of the one commandment is that the thing that brings people together must be much stronger than just affinity--closer to religion.
