"NETWORK STATE AND QUESTIONS"
"The book, 'The Network State' is an interesting book which details a path towards a new methodology towards governance in the era of tech and cryptography where it suggests transforming a digital community which crowdfunds territory into a network-state with diplomatic recognition. Yet there are questions that are posed to this 'proposal'. Quite interestingly it affirms the importance of the past in contrasts to other modernists and liberals who have a 'distaste' for the past and it talks about the reliability of historical data where it suggests blockchains can be used to reliably record historical records. Whilst a lot of people question the idea that blockchains are historically reliable where they cite their fear of the possibility of quantum computing. In other words, the question is that are blockchains historically reliable? This question is something that could interest epistemologists and those interested in historical sciences. The El-salvador government declared bitcoin as a legal tender and recently the El-salvador government has declared that bitcoin is no longer a legal tender. The question also arises is that could a digital community start an economy where the currency used is bitcoin or any other cryptocurrency? On the topic of the crowdfunding aspect, despite the author's emphasis on cryptocurrency, the question arises on what currency is used by others to crowdfund territory? Is it fiat currency? Is it cryptocurrency? The authors suggests a network-state is geographically decentralised yet this means that in the current era that these territories are within different countries which have different legal systems which raises the question of the methodology of legal compliance especially when those who push this want to do this 'peacefully'. A lot of questions..."
