Welcome to "The Network State" meetup, an centered around Balaji Srinivasan's visionary concept of the same name. Balji’s concept of the network state is a country you can start from your computer, a state that recruits like a startup, a nation built from the internet rather than disrupted by it.The fundamental concept behind the network state is to assemble a digital community and organize it to crowdfund physical territory. But that territory is not in one place — it’s spread around the world, fully decentralized, hooked together by the internet for a common cause, much like Google’s offices or Bitcoin’s miners.
This gathering is for tech enthusiasts, entrepreneurs, and anyone interested in diving deeper into the paradigm-shifting idea of a decentralized, voluntary society enabled by technology.
