Balaji’s Episode on Network States:
——
Not financial or tax advice. See our investment disclosures here:
Typcial uncunciosous comments. Same ppm who did not take Btc serious xD
There is only one tiny problem in the logic of Balaji and these guys : historically, ALL states have gained recognition from others, ONLY after a show of military force (usually a war or revolution). If they want to be taken seriously, they need to explain how they intend to raise a sufficiently capable army and, maybe, what territory do they intend to conquer. Otherwise it's just fantasy talk
It’s kind of ironic that they start the conversation by describing how Africa was developed into nations by people that weren’t African and then continue to describe how they won’t be having Africans develop Afropolitan.
They don’t even have a plan. Basically, they want to sell NFTs and make a bunch of money and then make a country with it. Ok, where’s the land?
Just another stupid nft project that you’ll waste your money on and will eventually get rugged.
Go Blockchain 🎉🎉🎉 and take African back and make it great 👍 that is the beauty of technology. To transform and beautifully empower those who can see and utilize it. But leaves those in the dust who can't see. But keep them poor and ravishly enslaved to the old system. Go build it guys ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉
Please consider closing the comments.
Thanks as always, guys!
As an African who has been working in the governance space for about 20 years, I think this is a very interesting endeavour and I will be watching to see how it plays out.
Keep building!
As much as I believe in crypto, the space will sadly have the same problems America has always had. Anything that even mentions Africa will be burned like Tulsa by unpaid agents.
that's a great way to use nfts!
These guys are on Balaji's list of potential network states that he's following.
This is such a bad interview not sure why you guys thought that these guys needed airtime there is so many better builders in the space
your laughing is too loud and annoying. Its like. Talk 50% volume, Laugh 200% volume.
Like the republic of Crynesia
Love the girl!! A natural beauty with brains and a great smile 👍🏼
Show starts at 8:57…
