This idea fires me up :smile:
However, like any great idea it needs some more thinking and development. As a chief architect of the "Dash World - Evolution in Marketing" that is available for the first review via
https://digitalcash.slack.com/ I ask myself, as a potential "Dash Nation" citizen, "what's in it for me?"
What do we offer to our "citizenry," we weirdos of the lunatic fringe (going mainstream soon, it seems):
-- Perhaps Dash's governance could also be fitted in smart contracts etc. for our "nation,"
-- Perhaps we can learn and join e-Estonia efforts (
https://e-estonia.com/) and offer virtual incorporation services, secured by the masternodes or be a currency for e-Estonia;
-- We can also ponder how to be a part of the
https://onename.com/ that is an "open-source identity protocol provider" and see how we can cooperate / compete for I still do not fully grasp what the heck is what they are offering;
-- We can also ponder "World Citizenship - Creating Affordable Decentralised Passport Services Using Available Cryptographic Tools" by Chris Ellis (
https://github.com/MrChrisJ/World-Citizenship) and see where do we fit, can we built on it, compete, embrace it;
-- Second Life used to use (last accessed over a year ago) "linden dollars" (
https://www.virwox.com/index.php) but I am not aware if DASH is available there. What about starting by creating a Dash Nation on the Second Life with all the benefits of full virtual citizenry, corporations, laws, trade and see how it goes.
But back to the key issue - if we're to go outside of the "DASH is the better currency than BTC" and "DASH MN as an investment opportunity" narratives - what is that we offer, something that's of use for the Dash Nation citizenry? Do we vote on elections and compare our results with the "real world" results and create a buzz around it?
We can act as we're already free and create a miraculous set of ideas / worlds out of the fantastic platform that is Dash Masternode networks, but the questions remain: what, when and why? Otherwise we might end up squandering a bundle of valuable ideas that are just randomly thrown but do not stick.
("What is in it for me," is what the people always ask themselves, consciously or unconsciously :wink
