"We're witnessing a fundamental, macro shift from 'citizen' to 'customer', State's violence is being replaced by encryption as the protection of property"
@balajis referencing Weber's theory of state's monopoly over violence in @joinClubhouse Big Ideas with @eriktorenberg
Bitcoin at $100B is an industry,

At $1 Trillion now is a World Power,

But at $10 Trillion, Bitcoin is a World Government, one that is pro-freedom.

@balajis on @joinClubhouse Big Ideas with @eriktorenberg
I'm not saying that Bitcoin is invincible, but cryptocurrency as a concept is invincible.

The new empire is a decentralized network that is run by no one.
@balajis on @joinClubhouse Big Ideas with @eriktorenberg
The first decentralized government can be traced to the Law of the Sea.

Historically mercantile, sea-faring cultures such as Portugal still have references to such laws.
There's no need to be colocated in one place to form a State.

A group needs media, crypto, and decide to abide by a set of laws.

People from various territories can come together as a state and might be recognized as a State by global bodies such as the UN.

@balajis
The future is cryptography.

We've built our machines for popularity, not for truth.

But crypto is catching up.

Announcing my @beondeck Global Build Weekend Project:

Nyaaya, a FREE contract automation platform to bring legal aid to millions of Indians who cannot afford lawyers.

I aim to launch an MVP this weekend.

My tech stack: @BRYTER_io, @canva, Carrd
I've wanted to work on it for years but for the first time, no-code has given me the powers to realize my dream.

Doing it as part of @beondeck Global Build Weekend since it gives me a deadline and enough push to get it done quickly.
Why am I doing it alone and not as part of a team?

I want to see if one lawyer can automate a big chunk of lawyering work in a weekend.

That might be the wake-up call that other lawyers need to understand the disruption that's coming for the profession.

The Candidate Ops Lead position is pretty much my dream job given my love for and experience in the field of education under various roles as an educator, entrepreneur, and more.
