There are several communities in the world that live without a formal state or outside traditional political systems. These communities are often organized through alternative social structures, based on principles such as autonomy, self-organization or respect for ancestral traditions. Here are some outstanding examples:

1- Autonomous Indigenous Communities.

Many indigenous communities maintain their own systems of governance, based on ancestral traditions, and do not depend directly on the central state.

- Zapatistas (Mexico): In Chiapas, the Zapatistas declared their autonomy in 1994. They are organized in "Caracoles" and "Juntas de Buen Gobierno," which function without intervention of the Mexican government. Their model is based on direct democracy, gender equality and social justice.

- Indigenous peoples in Bolivia and Ecuador: Some indigenous communities such as the Quechua or Aymara manage their own territory under traditional rules and customs, which are partially recognized by governments.

2- Nomadic Societies

Nomadic groups often live beyond the reach of States due to their itinerant lifestyles.

- Bedouin (Middle East and North Africa): These nomadic Arab communities have lived for centuries in the desert, guided by tribal codes. Although some have been integrated into modern states, others maintain their independence.

- Roma or Gypsies (Europe and elsewhere): Although they live dispersed in various countries, many Gypsies have maintained their own social structures, prioritizing clan life and rejecting state structures in certain aspects.

3- Anarchist communities

Groups that reject the existence of the state and seek alternative forms of social organization.

- Christiania (Denmark): An autonomous neighborhood in Copenhagen, founded in 1971, where residents manage the community through anarchist and cooperative principles, although it is technically under Danish sovereignty.

- Rojava (Syrian Kurdistan): Although not fully independent, the Kurdish-controlled region of northern Syria has established a system of self-government based on direct democracy, gender equality and ecology.

4- Isolated Religious Communities.

Groups that organize around religious principles and seek to remain outside of states.

- Amish (United States and Canada): The Amish live in closed communities with their own rules, based on a literal interpretation of the Bible, avoiding modern technology and state intervention.

- Hutterites (North America): They live in communal and self-sufficient colonies, with strict rules that limit their interaction with state systems.

5- Areas of Enforced or Failed Autonomy

In regions where state control is weak, communities create their own structures.

- Somalia: In many parts of the country, where the central government has little authority, local communities organize around tribal and religious systems.

- West Papua (Indonesia): Some indigenous communities in this remote region operate autonomously, resisting full integration into the Indonesian state.

6Ecosustainable and Alternative Communities.

Groups that choose to disconnect from the state system for philosophical or environmental reasons.

- Ecovillages: Such as Auroville (India), where people of different nationalities live together in a self-sustaining community without a formal government.

Reflection

These communities are a reminder that not all societies are organized around a modern state. Many achieve autonomy through tradition, philosophy or resistance, though they often face legal, economic or coexistence challenges with surrounding states. Are you interested in any of these in particular?

nostr:npub1yjryjq2kdganuc69zme9agk0q4rjcnlxel3fwp3xm9z68phsxngsqd33a9 Nashville 2024 card in which the back of the record player features my Seed Cipher #801481 artwork, signed with block height! LE 500 (picture of the card for sale at the bottom of this novel)

Repost this if you knew what that Easter egg was already;)

If you didn’t, read on…

Seed Cipher #801481 is a study by Asanoha in the eternal quest to conceptualize bitcoin. If one were to say that bitcoin is the knowledge of a private key that allows an individual to transact with the balance of a seed on the Timechain, then both in essence, and in actuality, this painting is bitcoin.

The artwork presented is one key of a two-piece cipher. It is user-loaded, reusable, and is accompanied by a custom titanium seed plate, fabricated in collaboration with Stamp Seed. This seed plate is the second key.

Each glyph represents one letter of a seed word. The value of the glyphs remains arbitrary until they are assigned a letter by the user based on a seed phrase they have generated. Once assigned, the letters are stamped into the custom seed plate in a scrambled order, each matching its associated glyph. The painting is the key that decrypts the order of the letters, and thus the seed phrase.

Once the user has generated a bitcoin seed with sufficient entropy, and has stamped the first four letters of each word into this plate, each matching it’s relevant glyph, it is a provably secure way to encrypt a seed phrase, and store bitcoin.

Since the letters are scrambled on the seed plate, the words are unrecognizable. This provides additional security, since anyone finding the seed plate would have a hard time decrypting it without the painting. If one chose to use two of the custom seed plates to encrypt a 24 word seed phrase, 12 words on each plate, it would be impossible to crack without both of the plates and the painting. And anyone looking at the painting would not be able to decrypt it without the seed plate. In order to decrypt the seed phrase, one needs both the painting and the seed plate, making this a type of seed XOR.

If the seed plate is used to encrypt an address that contains bitcoin, it must of course still be securely hidden. What is interesting, is that the painting itself can be displayed publicly, and without knowing what value the glyphs have been assigned, the chance of someone cracking a seed phrase that has been encrypted to it is the same as randomly guessing any 128-bit private key. The odds of guessing a 128-bit private key are approximately 1 in 115,792,089,237,316,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000. In an attempt to understand how large that number is, consider that it is more than the approximate number of atoms in the milky way galaxy.

There is something magical about the process of rolling dice in the physical realm, using the entropy of the universe, to pick a seed that a private/public key pair is derived from, in order to sign digital transactions of a monetary unit backed by thermodynamic energy. It is utterly fascinating to then take this modern wonder of digital cryptography in the form of a mnemonic phrase, which is sort of a reverse substitution cipher itself, and encrypt it using a physical painting of an ancient glyph-based substitution cipher.

Combining simple cryptographic methodology developed over a thousand years ago with some of the most advanced cryptography of today, this artwork eloquently bridges the past and present, the physical and digital. It is also an interactive art piece, a collaboration between the artist and the patron, as one might say it is not complete until the seed plate has been stamped with some amount of bitcoin, hidden within its titanium surface.

The original painting was sold in Nashville through nostr:npub1rujwkh9c3jnq70g3v62rrm6m7pxqsz25675narm74q9emcwqltjswe00fg for 6.25M sats. There are some of these serigraph print + custom seed plate sets left though:)

If you have been waiting for an extra interesting piece of bitcoin art, these prints have become significantly cheaper in sats price & the next person who buys one gets a free signed Nashville 2024 card as pictured below along with the print and plate set. I only have a couple extra of these cards.

Sicko 👌🏻

One of my best friends (real estate guy) just told me he dropped 25k today to get over the 1btc mark, so rad

It’s so funny to watch all the cnbc hacks talk about bitcoin over the years, they don’t sound much smarter at 90k then they did at $600
