You should have added what it's all about:
A network state is a highly aligned online community with a capacity for collective action that crowdfunds territory around the world and eventually gains diplomatic recognition from pre-existing states.
My initial understanding is this: the idea is to buy land somewhere in the world, get a permit to move there, and then declare independence. I don't think there's a single country on the planet that will allow this.

So let's read further:
A network state is a social network with a moral innovation, a sense of national consciousness, a recognized founder, a capacity for collective action, an in-person level of civility, an integrated cryptocurrency, a consensual government limited by a social smart contract, an archipelago of crowdfunded physical territories, a virtual capital, and an on-chain census that proves a large enough population, income, and real-estate footprint to attain a measure of diplomatic recognition.
Now it sounds like a a cult, where somehow I get the idea the founder will get very wealthy out of this.

I've filled out your questionaire.

I love the idea of the Network State - are there not already communities working towards it?

If yes, how is this different? If no, why not do you think?

I'm not clear exactly what you're looking to offer. Some more detail would be nice.

Hi ETFbitcoin,

No, I am not. I'm working on a new project focused on building a Bitcoin Network State. Heavily influenced by the book, but separate from it.

So, you offer this book for free, without the author's permission although it is obvious that the book is not free, because it is still being sold on Amazon?
Is it possible that you don't see any problem here?
it's nice that you're inspired by her, but it's enough just to mention her as a reference, that way you will have more focus on your work.

Hi All,

I'm doing product research to develop the Bitcoin Network State. The main idea of a Network State is that it's possible to organize online communities with shared values capable of reaching the size of traditional nation states.

I'd love to hear your feedback. If you're open to it, please fill out this short survey: https://blocksurvey.io/survey/1JcppxQF8vfppNsepMeNLENwEstDhvoyc1/a97de7ba-ecc0-4a52-a649-fa1b7c61230f/r/o
