The Network State Explained: Can Online Communities Become Countries? 🌍
15 Sep 2025
This book explores the idea of the Network State—a new model of governance born from online communities united by shared values, cryptocurrencies, and crowdfunded physical territories, ultimately aiming for diplomatic recognition. Unlike traditional states formed through revolution or war, network states emerge peacefully through opt-in participation, technology, and moral innovation.A key theme is the role of history as a narrative, often distorted, and the need for cryptographically verifiable macrohistory to preserve truth. The author introduces the concept of a “One Commandment”—a guiding moral code for these startup societies—and examines the global power struggle between NYT (American establishment), CCP (Chinese Communist Party), and BTC (the decentralized crypto world) as modern forces shaping the future.Ultimately, the book suggests that network states could create a “recentralized center”—a peaceful solution to societal fragmentation by combining technological truth with moral vision.#NetworkState #Bitcoin #CryptoPolitics #FutureOfGovernance #BookSummary #TechAndSociety #Balaji
