HCPP20 - TRAVIN KEITH - Decentralize Yourself and Avoid Digital Totalitarian Control
Channel: Paralelní Polis
Date: 2021-01-30

It’s a common misconception that all the governments around the world are in full coordination. Though there are certainly varying levels of coordination among some countries and a general trend towards the growth of that, there’s still an opportunity to make it more difficult for the invasion of privacy and the forced control over you and your data, such as by having multiple residencies, "obfuscation in plain sight", decentralizing income potential, and moving, if necessary. This presentation will go over why this is important by pointing out why this is important by using examples from documented events around the world as well as personal experiences from having lived in 8 countries around the world with a relatively weak passport (as highlighted in HCPP19) and those that have been shared with me. Additionally, some recommendations on how to accomplish this in an optimal manner while still avoiding problems, in the long run, will be provided in order for audiences to be better equipped to avoid digital totality in the long run.

Since shifting from a primarily digital marketing background in 2016, he has worked in the cryptocurrency space in a wide range of roles and is still today an advisor and consultant for a wide range of projects, as well as an entrepreneur with his ventures BitStory, a design agency, Consortio Group, a consulting company, Altrean, a now-defunct wallet focused on user freedom, and STOKR, an STO platform of which he is a current Advising Co-Founder, to name just a few. He has also been involved in the Open Source Software space as an Advocate Circle member of the Open Source Initiative, and many other open-source projects. In addition to these, he has spoken widely around topics involving individual liberties and freedom, including at HCPP19.

Paralelní Polis is a one-­of-­a-­kind nonprofit organization that brings together art, social sciences, and modern technologies. The ideas of liberty, independence, and innovative thinking, and development of society are the main underlying foundations the whole project is built upon.
The project intends to remain state free as it operates entirely without support from the government, and most of the funds come from voluntary contributions of our donors and partly from commercial activities such as running a unique co­working space and the world’s first bitcoin-­only cafe.
