Adam Neumann's a16z interview proposes his new company Flow as the first differentiated Brand in Real Estate. Flow increases real estate returns (NOI) because it's inhabitant-centric platform appeals to prospective inhabitants — offering them unique community, services, and flexible space allocation. They operate their own properties and intend to demonstrate returns so other real estate developers adopt their software and management services. They are beginning to scale up and plan neighborhoods spanning multiple properties. Flow is a live player in the pop-up city / @networkstate spectrum of new living arrangements. It combines the advantages of tech disrupted housing in a challenging housing market with more mainstream jurisdictional geopolitics. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I54nl2LkigA

Elon vs Trump: who is more powerful? Could there be a better metaphor for the theme from The Network State? Power is shifting from the State to the Network. The only question is where/when is the tipping point?

Another usual productive friday at @balajis.eth Network School 🧪 in these 4 months I kept asking: how do we solve the cold start problem for Startup Societies? → not more spectators. → not just grants. → but sovereign residencies with proof-of-work. built the Vault Residency Protocol 🏛️ a primitive to align ecosystems, builders, and societies. aka: sovereignty as a service. 📖 github.com/leomanfree/vault-residency-protocol NS taught me to build in public even if I’ll always have an esoteric core ✴︎ DM if you wanna launch a Vault or explore NS from the inside.

Been to a few crypto network states / pop-up cities around the world - totally agree with that. They're often having overly pretentious descriptions. But in reality, they're more like camps for young adults with money and no kids to have fun. Nothing wrong with having fun, though, and I'd join again

Never thought of the Farcaster social graph this way, but it totally explains its cordial nature thus far. Secretly hoping these vibes will scale.

Most countries are small countries. More than 50% have <10M people. Almost 20% have <1M people. We've built social networks much bigger than that.

It’s been a wild week here at the @balajis.eth Network School! The common melody? Free pizza! 🍕🍕🍕 I hosted @storyprotocol for the first time here, along with their amazing Surreal World Assets Buildathon. Check it out: https://surrealworld.encode.club/ Bitcoin hit an all-time high exactly on Bitcoin Day, just a few hours before our first @ns Global Pizza Party, powered by @pizzadao (God bless their mission, LOL)! What a time to be alive!

LOL that’s unexpected — and awesome! Honored to get credited by @nounishprof in the /gmfarcaster podcast. If you’re into this kind of stuff, you should totally check out Network School.

Now priced at 6 ETH each. If you want both can bundle them for 10 ETH. Think this is severely underpriced relative to potential valuation and future use cases for on-chain identity, passports, banking, branding, and more.

Before the conclave, Bocconi ran a “Network Conclave” sim. Graph theory only — no AI, no divine signals. They surfaced Robert Prevost as a top node. Days later: Pope Leo XIV. Eigenvector = status Betweenness = info flow Coalitions = emergent power The Vatican didn’t run this. The network did. Leadership emerges from structure, not hierarchy. Forget hierarchy. Observe the graph. Link: https://www.unibocconi.it/en/news/network-conclave (now you see why @balajis.eth was right)
