1729 is a group working to build a new kind of country called a “Network State”. My experience with 1729 reminds me of when I co-founded a bitcoin exchange in 2011. However, times have changed. When I say “We are founding a new country” people in 2022 seem more likely to believe me than when I spoke about bitcoin in 2010 or 2011. Eleven or twelve years ago the reactions to bitcoin were “that’s crazy” or “sounds like a ponzi scheme”. Today, the reactions to me saying “we’re creating a new country and starting online” are quite different. They tend to be more along the lines of “Yeah, that sounds about right”.
