content: LiberLand: A Genuine Ethereum Nation? My name is Chas Holloway.  I'm the guy who coined the term "Open Source Government" and has been promoting it in the Ethereum community.  As some of you know, my message is that Ethereum, by itself, can NOT achieve the decentralization developers are striving for.  To achieve decentralization Ethereum developers must ALSO understand and integrate Open Source Government (OSG) algorithms. You can read more about that HERE (takes about 7 minutes): https://www.chasholloway.com/about-open-source-government The danger Ethereum developers face if they DON'T employ OSG concepts is they will actually increase old-school centralization, inadvertently  I am a big fan of Ethereum and decentralization.  And fortunately, some developers and "thought-leaders" are getting the message.  This Friday I am speaking at ComiCon in San Diego with David Brin (the science fi author) about OSG. Then I'm going to Las Vegas to discuss with Vit Jedlinka, the founder and President of LiberLand (the new micronation on the Danube river) about integrating OSG with Ethereum -- and how that can become the official government system of a new nation.  ALL Ethereum developers should understand something about OSG.  The BOOK is available HERE (scroll to bottom of page):  https://www.chasholloway.com/about-open-source-government The link takes you to Amazon where you can get the eBook for $10. If you cant't afford the $10, you can read it online at Amazon for free.  Or you can read the first chapter that gives you a precise, non-ambiguous and scientific explanation of what "freedom" is, and how it differs from centralization.  That's something most Ethereum developers still don't know.
