Any input beyond this?
The SovStack as it is today:
"Proto-stack" - a scattered set of high-leverage tools, communities, and experiments, some genuinely sovereign, some semi-captured, all heavily dependent on global infrastructure, and already under targeted legal and memetic attack.
Yes, we have: Bitcoin + NOSTR + non-KYC P2P + FOSS OS + self-hosting + mesh + circular economies + crypto-anarchist hubs = the current technical and cultural skeleton of something that could be called a Sovereign Stack
But:
- It’s heavily parasitic on state-corporate infrastructure (chips, clouds, DNS, app stores, overlay networks).
- It’s increasingly criminalized by association in key tools (GrapheneOS, mixing, P2P).
- It’s fragmented (Bitcoin maxis, Monero people, prepper/agro communities, hacker collectives, charter-city VCs) with no unified architecture.
- It is already partially co-opted at the narrative and legal level (ZEDEs, “self-sovereign” IDs, “sovereign stack” brand-jacking).
- And the human layer—skills, trust networks, succession, defense, care, logistics (food, water, shelter, medicine, etc.), law, governance, myth—is by far the weakest link and least developed.
