Speaker:

Erik Vollstädt, Bitnation Lead Ambassador, How the blockchain will provide decentralized governance services

Bitnation (http://www.bitnation.co/) is a collaborative platform for DIY Governance, from dispute resolution and insurance to security and much more – but in a geographically unbound, decentralized, and voluntary way. Bitnation is powered by Bitcoin 2.0 blockchain technology – a cryptograhically secured public ledger distributed amongst all of its users. They are dedicated to the open source philosophy, and provide a platform for users to develop their own governance functions, or fork the code and create a brand new voluntary governance system.

They are a Distributed Organization (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decentralized_Autonomous_Organization) incorporated on the Blockchain and selling XBNX (http://www.bitnation-blog.com/invest-in-bitnation/), a cryptoequity (http://cointelegraph.com/news/112077/the-new-frontier-after-cryptocurrency-cryptoequity) exchanged for Bitcoin, on their own crowdsale. Their essential service is to provide DApps (http://www.bitnation-blog.com/what-are-dapps/) (Decentralized Applications) that can be used on a global level to register information or content on the blockchain, a voluntary way to universally certificate information, in order to render government authorization and licensing obsolete and to offer more efficient, cheaper and faster solutions than governments ever can.

Erik Vollstädt is Bitnation's Global Lead Ambassador, aspiring entrepreneur and champion of voluntary societies & private property ethics. Proponent of counter-economics and competing market currencies, such as precious metals or cryptocurrencies.
