I've reviewed some of the discussions on this topic and was taken aback by the simplistic nature of the conversation. The idea of evolving a loose digital community into a comprehensive digital nation seems improbable, even with the most avant-garde perspective. Instead of pioneering new digital landscapes, many are simply returning to traditional communal living in the physical world. Starting with an ambitious vision like "The Network State" and then devolving into basic communal living without recognizing the contradiction is astonishing.

Hive, with its unique history and challenges, may not be the perfect platform for a Network State. However, perhaps there's potential for something to thrive on its L2.

At the core of a state is identity. A logical first step might be to establish a solid foundation for digital identity. Once that's achieved, we can consider how to expand that digital realm. A genuine Network State would require each wallet/account to possess a unique personal, cultural, and state identity. The base layer's neutrality should be reinstated, governance processes optimized for agility, and the overall ethos of the on-chain experience should align with a unified vision. That's my perspective on it.
