Digital Identification and the Rise of MetaStates
In the first episode of "Identity Inc," we dive into the transformative potential of digital identification, exploring how it could lead to the creation of meta-states that transcend traditional nation-states. Drawing on global examples like Estonia’s e-Residency and Ukraine’s Diia, we examine the role of digital IDs in reshaping identity, governance, and power dynamics. We also discuss the crucial role banks might play as digital identity issuers and the idea of alternative passports for Russian and Belarusian dissidents. This episode highlights how digital innovation could redefine the future of states and citizenship.
