Network States - The Next Step
Berkeley Wanner

What comes after Bitcoin adoption and pure software plays? This talk explores how network states — communities organized first online, then in the physical world — represent the next step in financial and political evolution. We’ll connect El Salvador’s pioneering Bitcoin experiment to broader ideas of sovereignty, community building, and global digital networks, showing how Bitcoin provides the monetary foundation for emerging forms of governance
