The network state moment
Sam Venis, culture journalist covering network states, crypto, and techno-politics. He recounts travels to projects like Próspera and hacker houses in El Salvador. Short takes on Balaji Srinivasan’s thesis, DAOs turning into IRL mini-societies, regulatory sandboxes and Trump-era pivots. Conversations probe class politics, imperialism-flavored funding, and what these experiments skip over in daily life.
