First ever nation on the blockchain? President of Liberland explains.
Liberland could be the first blockchain country. The nation is planning to implement it's govermental structure on the blockchain technology. Liberland is a micronation between Croatia and Serbia, only 2.5 years old. The country is based upon libertarian ideology and ideas. Today I have the pleasure to share the interview with Vit Jedlicka - the President of Liberland. Enjoy guys! What do you think about when cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology used in such ways?
Thanks for watching guys 💝

Amazing interview
Great post @ivanli. I am not sure if you are aware of @rogerkver he is working on https://www.freesociety.com - also a neat project I am trying to stay up to date on. Thanks for all the great content you provide here.
I met Roger at a Block Show conference. He is passionate about the cause. I bet the society will be governed with something like this https://steemit.com/ico/@jury.online/steemit-our-pre-ico-is-live-right-now-but-we-need-your-support-30-bonus
Thanks for the link to freesociety - we can never have too many options for places to co-create a balanced future together! I also like The Ubuntu Party and their projects to convert towns into self sustaining, voluntaryist entities - very exciting! :)
btw, i noticed that you are voting for dantheman as a witness currently, but he is no longer running a witness server as far as I can see and most likely not going to due to his involvement with EOS now. I just launched a new high capacity witness and am campaigning for votes - I remember you've voted for a few of my posts in the past, and I'd really appreciate if you'd consider voting for me as a witness.
My witness application post is here.
very good implementation. of Blockchain
I like the idea, but in a future with lots of blockchains this seems most valuable as a blueprint for building corporate governance structures using blockchain technology.
Not saying it's not gonna work, but the idea of a decentralized nation goes against the general understanding of what a "nation" is: an area of the earth in which a particular authority has used violence to ensure that the laws that they decide on are followed.
The example about liberland police near the end was illuminating in terms of the vision of what a decentralized state would look like. The idea of calling whichever police you see as most useful is cool, but when you take the concept of zero-barrier blockchain nation-states to its logical conclusion, what comes out is essentially a world full of non-localized, self-governing collections of people, each running on its own blockchain (or tangle?). I'll call them "block-nations". Because of competition, the "block-nations" will need to create some sort of value to offer to the rest of the world, in order to attract citizens. Assuming the evolution of this follows the evolution of other social systems, this will lead to particular block-nations being better at producing certain things than others, based on the skill-sets of their citizens.
But now we've gone past the block-nation, into what is effectively worker-owned and operated companies. Which is not a nation-state, as it operates through the forces of capitalism rather than the forces of violence.
Does this project have open source code, on a website or github? I'd love to see how they implement this.
Thanks for posting this, it's going more mainstream.
Will it be built on EOS?
Great interview! I really enjoyed it.
I love the idea. Many issues right now (security, infrastructure) but I can see these popping up around the world as governments sell parts of their country for desperately needed money. I'm tired of the govt taking my hard-earned money to pay for many wasteful services.
Enjoyed your talk at the CryptoFinance 2017 talk in Oslo, great job. I know it's nerve-wracking to be in front of people so I sympathize with you, great experience though!
Very good my post...
