The first network states don’t need to appeal to the mainstream. 

We don’t need even close to 50% support. 

If a network state can recruit even 0.01% of the world, that’s 800k people.

And would already be the 160th largest country in the world, bigger than ~20% of UN recognized countries.

So, be bold.

Strong Opinion Loosely Held: 
The first network states already exist. Crypto needs to create the tooling to express themselves in ways more similar to states.

Trying to create a network state is honestly the wrong framing. Caesar didn't say I'm going to create a country or a nation. It's about expression not creation.
