“…what is crypto really for, besides crime and casino-like speculation? … Leading crypto evangelists… now openly discuss their plan to create a world of post-national “network states”. These would be corporate-controlled territories backed by crypto and tech billionaires like Thiel.”
lol the only way to think this is a possibility is if you’ve never seen a modern Marine battalion work.
No question the plutocrats are nuts, but it’s pretty evident that Thiel et al have divisions at their command and their opponents don’t, eh? Trump’s all in on crypto.
Also no real question we live in corporate-controlled territory, and specifically the corporations in question are theirs.
The corporate path to power is through controlling the loyalty of government officials. Trying to actually exercise territorial control like in Snow Crash? lol.

Every dystopian novel ever written involves a future where evil corporations become govts. Why do they think it will be a good thing to make that fantasy a reality?
These guys all love dystopian sci-fi, btw. They read it, but do they understand it? Apparently not
Famously, they read Don’t Build the Torment Nexus, and then they just had to build it.
