Entering the Network States: The Revolution and Future of Decentralized Social

Transcript

okay I hope you guys are now so sleepy and um so a little bit intro about ourselves the mass network being the OG Westway social network project since 2017. and how do I how do I switch to you oh yeah that's that's me uh not important at all I was born in 1996 um so that's an important Year you guys should remember I would explain later and jump into crypto in 2013 2014 and later on all our audience was really a job in from college and from 2017 we started to build this uh how do you say

a great a great align of the decentralized social network but it's not only about decentralized social network it's actually about more about the independence of cyberspace about like we now use the term Network state but why why there's such thought why where's this kind of ideology from what's the first first manifest of all this ideology I think it all day back to 1996 and not my birthday but the uh the in-depth decoration of independence uh cyberspace which is right by the eff co-founder John Perry Barron and he wrote that in February 1996 which is exactly the same amounts I was born and I read this first English version when it was like uh

you know graduate from kindergarten and later on this is translated into Chinese without censorship really cool so um John he wrote the government of the industries were your weary joints of Flesh and still I came from the cyberspace the new home of mind you have no sovereignty Where We Gather it's a it's a really interesting declaration it's not alarmed I recommend everyone read a little bit uh two or two minute reading since 1996 now is 20 27 years past right that's exactly how I how I lived on Earth how long I live on earth so several takes away from um barrels

declaration uh we have a lot of common things to achieve right one goal the goal is to um to have this to create a civilization of the Mind in cyberspace with the goal to achieve free and open internet which is also part uh part of his declaration and one battle that I quote from Lincoln that we we are actually in a great civil war testing whether or any of us can learn survive the question is we pick and fight our social media Battlefield or from the financial Battlefield to the communication Battlefield and the role model are the cyberpunks right from Satoshi to Ed was Snowden Arnold Schwarz and vitalik you know downstairs

um so so the one mission is again quote from Lincoln the lady governance of the People by the people and four people last forever in the cyberspace and what is the current situation right what is the current stage because like 1996 um John wrote this declaration and now it's 27 year and two years ago um village published in our state so what is the current situation I think we're kind of like in the digital futurism right now that or this major internet company are just different kind of like East Indian company right so uh East Indian company there's so many different things in the company basically every European uh superpower back in days have some kind of asyndium

company so they use this kind of like copper share which is the the most advanced capitalism technology to create a company and issue some stock and trade in the London Stock Exchange they use this kind of like tools and vehicles to colonize China and India at that time um and then today we have the internet Giants right pretty much the tencent is the Chinese version of easy India Company and you know meta Google whatever that's the American version of the East Indian company and what we are what we are colonizing or we are you know collectively participating by using Facebook or whatever we are colonizing the cyberspace which should be a Freeland but we're just helping them colonizing it and the stage one already passed which may be web one or web 1.5

that that you know the mainstream people especially the VC the stock exchange start to realize oh actually that's something we can colonize just like you know every every easy Indian company will issue their stock and get listed on London Stock Exchange 200 years ago that's pretty fast money so the internet 1.0 the web 1.0 is all these guys realize oh well that's a new that's new content that we can colonize pretty cool the second stage we're in the end of the second stage that is all these joints right no matter from China U.S whatever they're kind of fighting each other uh you know they say hey dude you're like kind of spy uh but you know we know everyone is kind of spy in here in the game right they're all kind of like Siamese State controlled and and we are

in the final stage of this second stage in the third stage we're at the beginning of it is the resistance right if you if you left the star war the Jedi you know the resistance uh whatever the the use of the force whatever to maybe crypto that's kind of forced to against the the companies uh to create some kind of independence day but you can use whatever term to create some Independence and to declare the independence for uh our our new continent right and and this is my story before I jump into crypto this is my full-time story as a kind of like Sami activist and journalists I was doing a lot of free and open source stuff if you

remember the story of 1996 2019 2018 in China I wrote this license and get you know covered by all the mainstream media unfortunately it's not really a free software license you know Richard Starman didn't agree this is like free software license but I think it's kind of necessary um the free software movement is kind of stopped there and we need another level of game right another level came from from cryptography or from some new ideology so what is the another level of gain we need new power structure so by by the large definition maybe with this other definition but maybe I think I think that's a common definition that the new source of the power is from the cryptography because that's something that it's not going to

be Brick by the nation state no matter how many militaries you have right it's not going to be bricked by your supercomputer let's hope the quantum computer not going to break it but that's the power shift then here another code from Julia sanch right um I would recommend everyone if you have read the blood never stay please also read the cyberpunk because the the cost of book will go to obviously go to Junior sound's family so he he argued that you know our task is to secure self-depremation where we can to hold back the coming dystopia where we can cannot and if it all else sell to accelerate its self-destruction so it's

kind of like a you know combination of accelerationism um cool idea and he also argued that the cryptographic is the final defender of our civilization so um it's a big question right so we we already have kind of like blockchain layer one Bitcoin ethereum uh cool things uh defy nft and why do we stop here why why not sees the superstructure and if we want to do a network State besides the Balaji like uh version one two three four five do we have like a real world example because the revolution are the same right they look different but they all the same in some way and I was born in Shanghai you know I'm Chinese so here here I'm going to

use the example of the Chinese Revolution oops okay so by definition of the network stay here's where we are right we have our we already have our own currency uh Bitcoin ethereum and all the other like cool uh crypto or coins um we try to say hey we want to just fulfill the dream of you know uh Barry and other cyberpunks or whatever is create some Independence um and then we are kind of like you know stuck in the Battle of uh if you're from if you know know the left win terms um the battle of the product force and product uh production relations right

that's quote from karmacs probably is wrong but it's very interesting that AI is regarded as the tools that the super weapon superpower that can Empower human beings that's increase your um increase your efficiency a lot right that's why all VC now shift to AI it seems like that thing's working uh the the user data the the crypto scene the cryptography thing is not directly Empower your efficiency um besides maybe you know if you're well transfer money or or you'll find me on D5 otherwise you won't able to pay twenty dollar a month and somehow largely boost your efficiency but it's very important to have more of these

together otherwise it will be terrible if we don't really have the other pillar right and and and then the the step we have right now the the stage we are right now uh financing that's the Ico every time you want to start Revolution definitely have some money uh that's very important so financing the ecrms through the Ico Finance Bitcoin and one experience become relatively decentralized everyone Ico on ethereum and maybe now we have like other stuff through the nft or whatever layer two layers three so that's the nasty nasty uh underlaying um important important lens or important new content we have right and then the citizenship is through the the ID right

we all got some kind of like dot DNS that's kind of citizenship and you will have like a super long random number that's generated by the cryptography is your public key that's pretty much the same thing as your passport number you don't really know how it's generated um and finance uh that's a decentralized finance and pretty much every Revolution you have to own the bank you have to you know create a new bank you don't want to partner with OP bank that is still controlled by the king or queen blockchain are the Legos right and they just start your view together so yeah we pretty much have everything here so what's the next step right we have to learn from the past Revolution if you don't read history of the past Revolution you have been in the human history it will likely fail so so who's

the first Chinese guy do Ico right uh hint his last name is Sun definitely not just instant so yeah um Dr SUNY Hassan is a very interesting figure he created the first Chinese more than political party it changed many names from the Chinese Legend uh to xinjiang uh and then become the eventually kmt but he also lived a very interesting life it's born in Guangzhou and then get educated in Hong Kong and then he moved with his family Rich family in Hawaii which that part that time was not part of U.S not time Hawaii is like Singapore it's close to the superpower but it's not that close right and and he he's he's big brother his cousin is super rich and in order to

help his little little brother idea of Revolution he say dude I'm gonna sell three thousand calls for you which indicate they have like huge land and Farms so yeah he sold all these things and obviously the first Revolution failed I mean every I mean for people who want to do you know stops usually your first coin is not gonna work okay and obviously he's first Revolution failed and his family definitely have to not have another 3000 car to sell right so what he did he did like 11 Ico um 10 to 11 Ico so he went to Chinatown again Chinatown is the first kind of like Global down just somehow people gather I don't know why but they just have the treasury and treasury is not in

a bank account usually it's people gather together you find the old dude in the Chinatown that's the you know Kung Fu Master are going to have the treasury and and Dr Singh is saying he traveled all across the road when China was kind of removed by the Qing Dynasty or the Emperors whatever and you travel across the Chinatown start to do Ico so he said hey dude dude this is my Chinese Revolution coin if you buy enough Chinese Revolution coin maybe we're gonna win the Revolution and you know your kids maybe become the minister somehow but you know like no red and promise it's like staffed very interesting you know it's not investment vehicle and another thing to remember is like data science first Revolution attempt is 90 in 1895 and the last one is 1911 which bring the Chinese to more

than kind of democracy somehow we lost it right now so through the 16-year 16 years of Ico 11 Ico there's no intervention from the government the main reason is the SEC didn't exist that time the SEC exists after 1973 right the uh the Security Act 1963. then let's say the Gary against her time travel back to find that person and knock knock knock SEC and doctors don't open the door say oh okay Gary what's your business again we say oh you're you're issuing Security on Rigid security 11th time you wouldn't be travel right and and so that's kind of luck then SEC didn't exist that time so

that's also in the importance that you have to use the most advanced technology to ahead of The Regulators ahead of the superpower super structures regulators so the super advanced technology at that time is the telegram and not the not the app we are using the real Telegram and the printer so every time you went to a Chinatown you bought the printer and just started to put in the Chinese Revolution coin and and then he signed it well not the cryptography sign but uses like hand and pen to sign it right say uh Sun one Dr Sun whatever and they start to sell five dollar each for his coin so that's pretty much the the thing like the down right like the we have signature we have the super uh advanced

technology to print coins uh way more faster than doctors in that time we can print like 100 coin in one second uh maybe not one thing one block time um and that's kind of like the lesson you need to learn and then okay then he realized uh the the coins are only for the rich people right you have to find the Kung Fu Master in every Chinatown to give them the treasury money uh you need some like General middle class people to support you so that's is why there's nft so the Ming Bao is the first nft in the Chinese history again in 1986 sometime so he started this kind of like a newspaper and start to write stories that you know how the chin dance

tried to try to punish him in London whatever and write some like interesting story people start to buy it super cheap not like the Cyber monkey we have another Punk today super cheap everyone can buy it you know the translation for many language so if you like I want to know what's happening in China what's happening in the revolution oh yeah buy it super cheap and and that become kind of an nft right and and also because you you buy it you have to somehow if you're like middle class you have something to have a leave your address so they can mail to you this becomes some kind of did oh yeah these kind of London people really care about the Democracy whatever so yeah cool he used the nft and did that time so that's what we're doing right we have the in the mass network

family we had the mass extensions on top of Twitter we have the did uh we we actually become the largest maintender for Mass Dam instance if you heard that mess down we are the long-term supporter for fedivers and we have the all-in-one app which is like the newspaper so then then the big picture is like it's not enough right it's not enough you have to utilize the money re-raced to deploy it systematically in some way so in the case of Dr saying he he claimed he wanted to build like um 10 000 miles of Railway in China which that time is like twice the the railway uh of U.S in a time it's crazy but then he able to raise more money and

deploy more money so you got LPS right and the lp is like the international Merchant Bank so we got LPS from our uh bonfire Union uh fund that we start to systematically deploy and The decentralized Social Network Revolution right that we have become like a small investor of like RC students cyber connect that's very important you have to think about the big picture not fight alone right not fight long you're fighting those big East Indian company you don't fight along and and the next thing is the this the ending is like I believe we'll kind of create the stabilization of the Mind in cyberspace again this is code from John now may it be more human and fairer than the word your governments have made

before so yeah that's my Twitter and my email if you're interested in contact me and also feel free to catch me after the speech um so everyone have their own Hometown their Hometown have their own story of Revolution you're probably going to find the same uh you know um Revolution story because or the more than all the modern Revolution we have is based on the Revolution leader issue some coins and sell to other people believe it it's very interesting story and I believe that nft has become like the newspaper and again if you put your Nifty in your Twitter you become your did right so yeah that's my story and that's the story of the revolution in

the past and maybe how we can use the passive version to create a new Revolution thank you [Music] all right we'll open up to some questions um should anybody have any hello I'm a member of phone chain monkey digital Nation we're good to hear you uh what opportunities do you see in a revolution of consumer protection or in international or maybe some standards that could make Network State and maybe some kind of opportunities to make

examine charge to help commoners to Common People maybe vulnerabilities females or some guys who don't understand everything in Tech in blockchain to help them to to help them thank you yeah I think I think if you want to participate in the revolution in the big Independence you don't need to understand you don't need to necessarily understand technology everyone can be very helpful and you know you can be the the treasury guy in the Chinatown help doctor or whatever and when and and another very interesting um historical similarity I always use is I think just like the American independence War right the American

independence that uh the largest donor is the French King right Louis and and and people always ask me what do you think about Hong Kong web3 I think oh yeah I mean King Louis is pumping the coin good so that's my take I mean you don't need to you don't need to worry about your nationality your skill you always have a good spot for helping the big pictures but I think it's always good to learn a little bit about the underlying of Technology you know you don't get full easily so that's that's my you know suggestion and I think everyone is connected it doesn't matter where you're from and we or first generation submarine still holding the National State passport unfortunately yeah

okay great thank you so much suji [Applause] [Music]
