Trent McDonald Is a Melbourne ambassador for BitNation, a blockchain style governance system that quickly came to the refugee crisis with a solution for ID’s. He dropped in to chat with us about evolutionary economics, holacracy, polycentricity and whether or not Australian economics is an oxymoron (we think so).
BitNation is a virtual platform that enables people to notarise documents, Trent even notarised his thesis into the blockchain, we talked about the impact that would have on the office lady “don’t just give her the boot, give her an upgrade” argued Dale.
Estonia is used as an example for e-governance, this small sparsely populated country is leading the way with virtual governance, we chatted about merging jurisdictions and virtual worlds entering traditional governance.
“Distributed currencies will bring distributed governance systems. The end of geographically isolated nation states will follow.” RogerVer Twitter 2Jan2016
