You don't understand that these people exist already in a network state.
What they're doing is siphoning value from the whole of the rest of the world into their existing crypto spaces and digital spaces.

Anyway, it seems to me the nation state has had its day.
The nation state is a relatively recent evolution of human cultural biology that exists when you have a de facto top-down hierarchical power exert power over the people beneath it.

What matters is the people and how much they care.
And that, I think, might be what it comes down to.
Well, it thinks it doesn't need that connection.
