一部 BBC 纪录片揭示了以贾斯汀·孙（Justin Sun）和蒂姆·德雷珀（Tim Draper）为代表的加密货币富豪，正在通过资助微型国家实验来推广用区块链技术和代币投票取代传统政府与民主制度的理念 [1]。这些科技巨头不仅将这一模式视为其去中心化金融哲学的实践，还通过与特朗普家族的商业合作获取政治影响力，试图构建一个由技术精英控制的无国界世界 [1]。
贾斯汀·孙向唐纳德·特朗普家族的加密货币公司 World Liberty Financial 投资了超过 7500 万美元，并持有大量与特朗普相关的 memecoin[1]。与此同时，蒂姆·德雷珀和柯蒂斯·亚尔文（Curtis Yarvin）等思想家主张用基于区块链运行的“微型国家”或“企业君主制”取代传统的民族国家 [1]。
作为这一理念的试验田，“自由利伯兰共和国”实行名为"Merit"的代币投票制度，在该国拥有更多代币的人便拥有更多的话语权，且该国完全免税 [1]。贾斯汀·孙此前曾花费 2900 万美元与杰夫·贝佐斯一同乘坐 Blue Origin 飞船前往太空 [1]。在更广泛的层面，加密货币游说团体在最近一个选举周期内向美国政治贡献了 2.38 亿美元，这一数额使其超过化石燃料行业成为美国最强大的游说力量 [1]。
A BBC documentary reveals that cryptocurrency billionaires such as Justin Sun and Tim Draper are promoting an ideology in which blockchain technology and token-based voting replace traditional governments and democratic systems [1]. To advance this vision, these tech tycoons fund experiments with micronations like the Republic of Liberland while leveraging business ties with the Trump family to secure political influence [1].
In their efforts to construct a borderless world controlled by technical elites, Justin Sun invested more than $75 million into World Liberty Financial, a cryptocurrency company associated with Donald Trump's family, and holds significant amounts of Trump memecoins [1]. Tim Draper and thinkers like Curtis Yarvin argue that traditional nation-states should be replaced by "micronations" or "corporate monarchies" operated on blockchain networks [1].
The Republic of Liberland exemplifies this model through its implementation of a voting system based on the "Merit" token, where individuals possessing more tokens hold greater sway over decision-making processes [1]. The nation also operates under a completely tax-free regime to attract such investment and participation [1]. Beyond political maneuvering, Justin Sun demonstrated his wealth by spending $29 million to travel to space alongside Jeff Bezos on a Blue Origin spacecraft [1].
The influence of this sector extends beyond individual projects; cryptocurrency lobbying groups contributed $238 million in donations during the most recent election cycle in the United States. This financial support surpassed that of the fossil fuel industry, making crypto advocates one of the most powerful lobbying forces in America [1].
