1/ So, given the general state of UK company incorporation, I’d like to make a modest proposal. Maybe more Swiftian than serious 😁 Let’s be more like Dubai!

(Yes, it’s on the Financial Act Task Force (FATF) grey list, but that’s not because of incorporation rules.) 2/ UAE commercial law broadly based on English law, so this isn’t a crazy unimplementable idea either.

Some thoughts on the @mattereum litepaper. tl;dr -> Nice 👍 Limits on applicability. Creation of private jurisdictions raises issues. But we have many problematic private jurisdictions already. Why not make some useful ones? 🙌 /1 (Also my first twitter thread! Go me!) Smart Property Registers (SPRs) look like opt-in private “jurisdiction” where disputes around title can be resolved and “exported” to the real world. If I may cite myself, it’s about “the rails”, rather than laws. thomasbarker.com/18/03/contract… /2
