HCPP22 | Jarrad Hope - Cypherpunk Suprajurisdictions against the Nation-State

The sanctions of Tornado Cash have implications for base layer neutrality & open-source developers which threatens the utility of crypto. I propose introducing a concept of sovereignty to crypto networks and outline and an approach in competing with the State.
In Cypherpunk Supra-jurisdictions against the Nation State, we'll cover the implications of sanctioning open-source technology, touch upon the US Infrastructure Bill & Patriot Act giving rise to the US Super-jurisdiction and contrast that against self-sovereign crypto-networks.
We'll discuss how we're positioned to leverage these networks and Institutional Economics to create voluntaryist social orders that can achieve a greater legitimacy than the nation-state, yet also offer competitive governing services to under-serviced citizens with access to the net.
This talk is a call for a return to our Cypherpunk roots. We can create a civilization of the mind in cyberspace. May it be more humane and fairer than the world governments.

Jarrad Hope came to Bitcoin early 2011 through agorism, counter-economics & crypto-anarchy, seeing that Bitcoin could operate a monetary policy in a hostile environment, he began to view public blockchains as a voluntary social order, one that didn't depend on a monopoly of violence.

Paralelní Polis is a one-­of-­a-­kind nonprofit organization that brings together art, social sciences, and modern technologies. The ideas of liberty, independence, and innovative thinking and development of society are the main underlying foundations the whole project is built upon.
The project intends to remain state-free as it operates entirely without support from the government, and most of the funds come from voluntary contributions of our donors and partly from commercial activities such as running a unique co­working space and the world’s first bitcoin-­only cafe.
It was founded by members of a contemporary-­art group Ztohoven, and Slovak and Czech hacker­spaces. Its main goal is to promote economic, social, and digital freedom. We try to be a vocal voice of freedom in order to shape the public discourse, and ultimately work towards a freer future.
