Ethereum is one of the most important tools enabling us to build free parallel structures. Parallel Polis is a humanitarian concept popularized by Czechoslovak dissidents and carried on by cryptoanarchists and cypherpunks in recent years. From their experience of living solely in cryptoeconomy for past 8 years, we learn how Ethereum is an irreplaceable tool for crypto native life, business and social structures.

B
Thank
you
very
much.
Thank
you
so
much
for
the
lovely
introduction.
I
really
appreciate
that
and
I'm
excited.
There
is
so
many
friends
from
Central
Europe
here,
because
so
what
I'm
planning
to
do
here
today
is
actually
to
share
a
bit
of
experience
from
Central
Europe
experience
of
building
local
parallel
police.
So
the
name
of
the
talk
in
the
in
the
schedule
is
building
Pearl
Academy,
but
that's
two
narrow
topic
and
it
will
be
actually
more
about
parallel
Society,
but
all
structures
in
general,
so
yeah.
B
B
Let's
talk
a
bit
about
theory
of
social
change,
I
believe
that
many
people
in
the
world,
but
especially
all
of
you
folks
here,
have
ideas
how
to
make
World
better
how
to
improve
societies,
how
to
make
betterment
for
everybody
because
well
there
are
many
issues
in
the
current
Society
in
the
governments
in
the
in
the
cultures,
and
there
are.
There
are
a
bunch
of
Utopias,
but
especially
there
are
various
ways
how
to
achieve
the
change.
How
to
achieve
this.
Improvement
and
I
will
very
oversimplify
the
social
change
theory.
B
I'm
very
sorry
about
that.
But
to
sum
it
up,
we
have
some
top-down
approach
to
changing
society,
which
is,
we
can
imagine
some
politician,
creating
better
rules
which
will
improve
the
life
we
have
or
like
also
I
vote
right,
I'm,
giving
my
voice
to
to
somebody
speaking
for
me,
so
so
he
has.
He
has
then
took
down
power.
B
The
bottom-up
approach
coming
from
communities
coming
from
people
from
activists,
whether
it's
entrepreneurial,
non-profit
activism
and
people
actually
building
projects
which
are
permissionlessly
changing
the
world
and
we're
gonna
social
change.
I
also
have
to
mention
revolutions,
which
are
another,
maybe
kind
of
sudden
kind
of
change
in
society.
I
hope
you
can
see
the
slides
through
me.
Actually
yeah,
nice
and
I
mean
we
can
argue
about
many
issues
of
these.
Of
these
of
these
approaches.
First
of
all,
there
is.
B
B
So
that's
that's
one
of
the
critique
and
the
second
thing
is
effectiveness
of
these,
of
of
various
approaches
to
social
change
and
the
effectiveness
in
the
terms
of
social
context,
I
would
say
so
the
problem
with,
for
example,
the
top-down
approach
is
that
the
politician
or
somebody
who
is
creating
these
rules
for
us
needs
to
follow
the
Zeitgeist
of
society.
The
side
case
of
society,
the
the
social
context,
for
example.
B
The
politician
in
very
conservative
country
cannot
make
very
liberal
reforms
right,
so
he
always
needs
to
follow
what
the
electorate
wants,
but
also
in
the
bottom
up
our
systems.
We
are
limited
by
the
social
context
in
multiple
ways
like
when
I'm,
when,
when
you're,
creating
a
movement
which
is
two
outside
of
the
the
overturn
window,
it's
hard
to
gain
traction
and-
and
you
might
be
even
you
know,
out
censored
and
also
in
the
in
the
in
the
activism
we
see.
B
We
see
this
limits
where
I'm
putting
my
productive
energy
to
something
I
believe
in,
but
it
might
be
used
completely
differently
in
the
current
social
context,
so,
for
example,
I'm
building
some
open
source
tools,
I'm
contributing
to
to
some
open
source
ecosystem
and
now
government
takes
this,
takes
this
open,
open
program
and
use
it
for
an
army,
for
example,
so
I'm
actually
contributed
to
something.
I
didn't
want
it
at
all,
so
yeah.
B
So
we
can
argue
about
like
Effectiveness
and
issues
with
the
social
change,
but
the
the
main
issue
here
or
what
I
want
to
mention
is
that
none
of
these
work
in
totalitarian
regimes,
so
in
the
in
Australian
regime,
where
you
well
cannot
really
vote.
So
the
top
down
doesn't
work
at
all.
You
don't
have
freedom
of
expression.
You
people
cannot
cannot
do
any
forms
of
activism.
B
It
was
something
which
was
very
discouraged
and
it
resulted
in
invasion
of
Czechoslovakia
in
1968
and
yes,
so,
the
version
of
Pac,
the
the
Soviets
just
sent
tanks
and
well
compared
to
Ukraine
these
days,
Czechoslovakia
wasn't
able
to
fight
back.
So
for
coming
years,
it
experienced
strong,
a
soviet-run
Communists,
totally
totally,
damn
it
Authority
and
regime,
and
and
especially
in
the
70s.
B
In
the
coming
years,
there
was
Era
of
so-called
normalization,
which
was
a
wave
of
a
strong
totalitarianism,
and
this
this
resulted
in
in
intellectuals
in
people
in
scientists,
in
artists
being
persecuted,
being
forced
to
become
just
Workforce.
Not
the
intellectuals
and
and
people
were
persecuted.
Spied
on
and
of
course,
this
kind
of
totalitarianism
results
in
some
opposition
in
some
distant
movement,
and
there
was
so
around
the
whole
Eastern
blog.
B
There
were
many
interesting
and
and
courageous
distant
movements
and
in
Czechoslovakia
there
was
also
various
of
them,
for
example
like
second
culture,
which
was,
for
example,
false
folk
singers,
artists
like,
but
but
one
important,
one
important
and
probably
the
best
renowned.
This
isn't
moving
from
from
Czech
Republic
or
Czechoslovakia
I
need
to
mention
is
a
charter.
77.
B
77
was
well,
it
was
a
collection
of
essays.
It
was
petition
which
was
appealing
to
government,
so
it
starts
to
comply
with
basically
what
it
promised
with
of
to
stop
violating
human
rights,
Civic
rights
and
as
peaceful
as
as
humanitarian.
This
this
this
movement
was
the
government
really
took
it
back.
Government
started
to
chase
people
behind
277
and
and
publicly
destroyed,
destroying
their
figures,
and
basically
it
was
yeah.
So
there
are.
There
are
many
interesting
people
on
this
picture.
B
You
might
know
on
the
very
left,
that's
of
Hudl
who
later
became
the
first
president
of
Czech
Republic
and
he's
world-renowned
humanitarian,
liberal
and
so
the
charter.
It
was
collection
of
essays,
it
has
had
few
spokesmen
and
one
of
the
one
of
the
colleagues
of
that
sofa
one
of
the
one
of
the
leading
personas
in
chapter
77
on
the
right
here
was
vasov
Bender,
and
he
within
within
this
recent
movement
he
actually
focused
on
exploring.
How
is
the
movement
itself
evolving?
How
it's
how
it's
How?
B
It
reacts
to
the
persecution
from
government
and
he
described
it
as
parole
police.
He.
He
noticed
that
this
Contra
culture,
dispersecuted,
subculture
or
movement,
is
building
brow
structures,
its
own
culture,
its
own
education
right
we
had
there
was.
There
was
many
books
which
were
just
prohibited
and
these
were
distributed.
You
know
hand
rev,
written
Within,
These
communities,
so
he
described
it
as.
B
Could
be
defined
as
set
of
strategies
for
creating
some
independent
Society?
This
is
this
is
outside
of
the
context
this.
This
big
big
quote
here
by
Irby
Fuller,
but
it
kind
of
kind
of
sums
up
the
idea
that
I
have
there.
Basically,
let's
when
I'm
in
the
society
like
the
Communist
Regime
right,
I,
cannot
fight
against
it.
We
cannot
have
protests
because
we
will
be
violently
punished.
We
don't
have
any
freedom
of
expression.
We
cannot
write
freely.
We
cannot.
B
There
is
only
single
party,
the
Communist
party
we
can
vote.
We
cannot
change
anything,
so
we
are
forced
to
building
free,
independent,
parallel
structures
and-
and
it's
also
it's
not
just
like
out
of
the
necessity,
but
I
believe
that
it's
also
effective
and
moral
approach
does
this.
This
is
something
similar
to
what
Gandhi
says
right,
be
the
change
you
want
to
see
in
the
world,
and
so
yeah
parallel
police
is
to
me
set
of
strategy
set
of
various
spiral.
B
Structures-
and
here
are
some
examples,
so
the
pillars
of
pearl
police
would
be
not
just.
The
name
of
the
talk
is
the
parallel
Academy,
but
here
it's
just
within
the
context
right.
So
it's
parallel
education,
parallel
economy,
culture,
Civic
rights
protection,
which
was
actually
the
main
reason
behind
the
charter
77,
but
all
infrastructure
governance
systems
for
these
people-
and
this
is
not
something
which
is
strictly
defined,
which
is
like
okay.
This
is
the
power
of
police,
these
structures-
it's.
These
are
just
examples.
B
So
when
we
are
building
these
problem
structures,
we
are
building
them
on
the
on
the
basis
of
positive
social
context,
and
we
can
feel
free
to
put
our
our
productive
energy
towards
para.
Police,
chigoslovak
dissident
invented,
it's
something
there
described,
but
I
would
say
it's
anthropological
constant.
Through
the
history.
B
Okay,
now,
where
ethereum
fits
in
all
of
this
and
ethereum
or,
like
speaking
about
these
Technologies
I,
have
to
go
all
the
way
back
to
cypherpunk
and
server.
Punk
is
another
movement
which
actually
comes
to
life
in
late,
70s
and
80s,
and
this
was
a
this
was
a
movement
community
of
various
interesting
people.
Many
programmers,
scientists,
mathematicians
entrepreneurs,
people
who,
at
a
time
where
internet
computers
and
encryptions
started
to
spread
the
governments
well
willing
to
fight
with
it
right.
B
The
the
government
said
the
encryption
is
a
weapon,
it's
something
which
only
Army
can
have
and
only
to
limit
what
people
can
do
with
their
computers.
What
can
actually
happen?
What
kind
of
encryption
we
can
use
and
cyberpunks
were
people
who
stood
against
this?
Who
cre
not
just
build
tools,
as
it's
described
here
very
nicely
by
Eric
use?
B
So
the
first
part
here
it's
a
it's
a
part
of
a
cypherpunk
Manifesto
by
the
by
Eric
Hughes
and
the
second
part
is
a
Manifesto
of
crypto
Anarchy,
which
is
a
movement
coming
out
from
the
growing
from
The
Cypher
bank
and
the
manifesto
was
written
by
Timothy
May.
The
left
guy
on
the
left
in
the
picture
and
Timothy
May
took
the
idea
of
The
Cypher
Punk,
even
further,
not
just
to
protect
ourselves
but
to
actually
achieve
Freedom
through
the
digital
Technologies.
It's
like
30
years
old.
B
It
was
further
distributed
on
a
conference
crypto88
in
1988
and
I
have
to
say
it's
very
prophetic.
If
you
read
it
and
he
said
during
basically
about
what
we
see
today.
I
believe
that
today,
when
you
look
at
the
world,
when
you
look
at
the
digital
world,
the
digital
realm
is
well
I
would
say
bigger
than
the
physical
one.
B
It's
maybe
even
even
more
important,
and
we
can
leverage
these
Technologies,
because
the
government,
the
authoritians,
will
have
the
power
the
the
coercion
power
in
the
physical
world,
but
they
are
losing
it
and
maybe
never
really
had
it
in
the
digital
one.
And
that's
thanks
to
tools
of
crypto
Anarchy,
the
crypto
networks,
a
bit
like
something
something
ideological
like
it's.
Some
political
political
idea
like
anarchism
based
on
crypto
I,
don't
know
to
me.
Anarchy
acrylicism
is
a
set
of
tools.
It's
a
toolbox
which
allows
for
many
important
things
generally.
B
So
we
have
this
parabolis,
which
is
set
of
strategies
for
building
independent
parallel
structures,
and
now
we
have
crypto
Anarchy,
which
is
a
set
of
tools
for
building
independent
communities
well,
and
it
kind
of
fits
to
get
together.
Doesn't
it
so
there
is
this
lovely
building
in
Prague
called
paragonipolis,
as
you
can
see,
is
the
script
Anarchy
and
I
would
say
this.
B
This
building
is
actually
like
the
manifestation
of
the
connection
between
the
physical
and
digital
world,
and-
and
this
is
where
it
comes
together
in
the
idea
that
we
can
build
these
parallel
structures.
This
independent
communities,
thanks
to
the
tools
of
the
crypto,
Anarchy
and
parole
near
police,
has
been
running
for
over
nine
years
now,
educating
about
these
Technologies
and
experimenting
with
them,
and
so
in
the
talk.
B
It's
actually
this
little
place
bordel
and
many
of
you
who
followed
the
merch
might
heard
about
Borel
WTF,
but
it's
named
after
actual
physical
place,
which
is
in
basement
down
there
of
this
building
and
the
basement
is
called
bordelon,
and
you
might
know
these
memes
about
the
robsten
merch
with
the
whole
get
team
which
happened
there.
So
the
paralleling
police
is
like
open
platform
talking
about
a
specific
project.
B
It's
open
platform
for
various
communities
to
meet
because
like
when,
when
various
communities
I'm
now
talking
about
the
crypto,
not
just
ethereum,
but
we
have
bitcoiners
monorail
people,
I
have
Monaro
stocks
here
and
and
all
the
people
who
are
actually
building
privacy
tooling
and
an
encryption,
tooling
and
artists,
and
so
on
meeting
this
place
and
create
beautiful
things.
So
there
are
a
few
things
we
experimented
with
in
parallel
police,
considering
ethereum
So,
like
I
I,
mean
I.
B
Don't
really
have
to
explain
this
I
believe
that
you
folks,
who
understand
ethereum,
know
that
it's
such
a
strong
tool
for
what
I
explained,
because
it
enables
permissionless
coordination
and
I
would
say
it's.
It's
a
Cypher
Punk
solar
panels.
Each
bank
and
pixel
Punk
Tool
very
versatile
tool,
kind
of
a
when
I
have
a
toolbox
in
the
crypto
of
the
crypto
energy
tools.
B
This
building
that
I
showed
accepts
only
cryptocurrencies
for
the
whole
of
its
existence.
There
is
actually
a
Bitcoin
Cafe.
It's
a
place
with
this
Cafe,
which
accepts
only
crypto.
There
is
a
co-working.
There
is
many
people
coming
to
this
building
and
they
are
forced
to
pay
with
crypto.
So
all
the
income
is
actually
only
in
cryptocurrencies
and
it's
kind
of
a
mess
to
live
crypto
natively
because
of
the
volatility,
because
of
because
of
the
bear
markets
which
will
come
always
right.
So
thanks
to
ethereum,
we
have
tools
like
stable
coins.
B
We
have
tools
like
collateralized
loans,
so
the
defy
here
is
not
about
chasing
yield
farming,
but
about
actually
using
this
to
to
survive
economically
in
some
parallel
economy.
So,
and
so
so
as
an
individual
who
is
living
without
banks,
it's
it's
a
tool
which
is
which
is
a
necessity
to
be
able
to
to
survive
with
just
crypto,
but
also
as
the
organization
as
police.
It's
it's
great.
B
We
have
the
tool
like
loans,
and
there
are
it's
not
just
using
the
tools,
but
there
are
also
people
coming
from
paraple
is
who
are
creating
these
tools?
There
is
pwn
Pawn
Finance,
which
is
aiming
to
bring
mortgages
for
crypto
natives
for
people
who
don't
have
or
don't
want
to
have,
can
have
access
to
the
traditional
Finance
public
goods.
I
also
don't
have
to
go
deep
in
those
because
you
folks
are
here.
You
understand
what
public
goods
meme
ethereum
is,
but
it's
the
realization
here
how
it
clicks.
It's
it's
super.
B
It's
really
amazing.
Right
I
mean
we
have
the
the
whole
the
parallel
Society,
the
parallel
structures,
which
are
mostly
all
public
goods,
the
whole
building
ratio.
It's
not
it's
probably
good,
which
provides
education,
it
provides
platform
and,
and
it's
a
something
which
needs
to
be
funded,
not
via
coercion
via
taxes
or
or
so
on.
But
by
but
alternatively
regeneratively
and
would
we
would
we
experienced?
B
Is
that
parole
police
get
get
successfully,
crowdfunded
multiple
projects,
not
just
for
itself,
but,
for
example,
the
the
other
tough
coveted
winter
paropolis
took.
The
volunteers
from
peropolis
had
a
track
with
Bitcoin
Cafe
on
the
wheels
and
provided
coffee
for
doctors,
fighting
the
coffee
in
the
hospitals,
and
this
Cafe
was
free
for
them.
It
was
crowdfunded,
mostly
with
Bitcoin
and
Fiat
little
50
room
to
be
honest,
but
still
the
crowdfunding
and
the
public
good
funding.
B
Ethereum
tools
are
much
stronger,
but
our
police
access
donation
on
bitcoin
on
give
it
and,
and
generally,
if
you
we
want
parallel
structure,
they
need
to
need
this
kind
of
funding
running
out
of
time,
but
yeah
the
governance
another
another
important
part.
We
need
reputation,
systems
and
governance.
B
What
do
we
experimented
with
is,
for
example,
tokens
for
people
who
are
contributing
for
volunteers
who
get
awarded
with
our
own
token,
and,
based
on
this,
you
can
you
can
track
the
contributions
in
the
physical
space
right
in
the
local
community,
but
also
in
the
in
the
digital.
One,
like
example
of
the
digital
parallel
police
would
be,
for
example,
the
network
states.
There
is
balaji's
book
about
it.
Vitalik
has
a
good
article
on
it
and
or
like
Network,
States
or
parallel
or
Cloud
Societies
or
parallel
societies.
B
It
all
sounds
same
to
me,
and
this
is
these-
are
local
or
or
digital
communities
which
need
governance
and
repetition.
Systems
and
ethereum
provides
that
the
specific
project
in
Prague
created
these
beautiful
silver
coins
or
metals
as
a
tribute
to
to
Alan
Turing.
The
certificate
of
these
is
nft
on
ethereum,
but
also
before
we
there
were
coins,
silver
and
even
some
gold
ones
with
Aaron's
words,
Russell
breach
and
and
others,
and
these
These
are
certificate
on
bitcoin
as
a
multi-second
Bitcoin.
B
So
it
was
kind
of
like
a
technology,
but
still
this
is
something
which
sends
crypto.
Weddings
were
a
cool
idea
which,
which
almost
got
materialized
in
the
Slovak
version
of
paraple,
is
in
Bratislava,
where
a
lawyer
I
was
working
on.
Basically,
this
parallel
kind
of
wedding,
where
so
as
a
homosexual.
He
was
fighting
for
having
same-sex
marriages
which
are
not
possible
in
this
country,
but
he
created
as
a
lawyer.
B
B
There
was
a
bird
feeder
are
in
parallel
police.
It's
a
cute
project
which
does
this
incentivization
for
this,
like
this
kind
of
instrumentation
for
feeding
birds.
So
we
have
like
a
bird
feeder
with
a
device
where
you
tip
your
cart.
You
put
there,
you
put
their
bird
seed
and
you
get
paid
from
a
contract
where
everybody
can
some
money
right
for
for
feeding
the
birds,
so
incentive
systems
and
Environmental
Protection.
Another
important
thing,
which
ethereum
also
helps
with
in
free,
independent
manner.
B
There
is
a
there
is
a
project
which
was
also
funded
thanks
to
quadratic
funding,
which
was
at
eat
Prague
in
parallel
police
and
if
Turtles-
and
these
are
folks
from
environment,
apps
from
parole
police
who
another
piece
of
community
which
came
and
learned
about
this
ecosystem,
and
these
folks
are
coming
to
Indonesia
saving
Turtles.
And
the
thing
is
that
each
turtle
is
unique.
They
have
unique
faces
like
people,
so
they
make
nfts
under
them
and
you
can
adopt
them.
B
You
can
buy
them
and
support
the
actual,
the
actual
protection
of
the
turtles,
because
it's
a
lot
of
work
to
be
on
the
beach
all
the
time
and
make
sure
that
they
are
they're
right.
Yeah,
good,
I.
Think
I
went
through
it,
and
so
the
motor
that
we
use
in
parallel
police
is
enter.
The
outside
ADI
here
is
that
thanks
to
these
Technologies
thanks
to
these
parallel
structures,
we
can
I,
don't
want
to
say,
opt
out
when
people
often
say
this
opt
out
from
the
system
use
crypto.
B
You
are
opting
out,
but
it's
not
like
opting
out
to
some
vacuum,
because
you
are
actually
entering
something
right,
so
you
enter
the
polar
police,
but
at
the
same
time
you
are
entering
outside
and
whether
in
English
I,
like
it
in
Spanish
or
Czech,
and
so
yeah
enter
the
outside
I.
Guess
I!
Guess
that's
it!
Thank
you.
So
much.
B
It's
all
right,
thank
you
so
much
for
coming
folks.
I
really
appreciate.
All
of
you
here
hope
you
liked
it
and
I
will
be
around
here.
You
can
find
me
if
you
see
masked
Anon.
It's
still
me
just
leaked
it,
but
whatever
yeah
and
can
yeah
normally
I
work
in
the
protocol
support.
This
was
totally
out
of
EF
stuff,
but
there
is
my
email
feel
free
to
contact
me
or
Twitter
yeah.
Thank
you.
So
much
again,.
