18/ Dryden Brown’s tweet was actually a thread. Here’s part of it: “I went to Greenland to try to buy it. *** First, some context. I’m building a crypto-native COUNTRY called @ praxisnation, w/ a network of people who’ve founded companies worth >$400B. We are scouting for physical territory to build our first city…” (Emphasis added.)

21/ 👀 The Tech Bros are apparently interested in Panama too, tho not necessarily for Praxis. (Article from 6/17/20) “Essentially, Pronomos is starting charter cities on vacant land parcels in a number of developing countries. Sources say Pronomos Capital is seeking out regions in Panama, Ghana, Nigeria, and the Marshall Islands. The project will allow international firms to set up shop in the semi-autonomous zones and the project is maintained much like a venture fund. So far, Pronomos has raised $9 million in venture capital and a large chunk of the investment stemmed from Peter Theil. Other investors include ’s Roger Ver, venture capitalist Marc Andreessen, and the entrepreneur Balaji Srinivasan. Pronomos Capital has a very impressive team of Silicon Valley entrepreneurs who have made names for themselves through various ventures.”

Wowza. Those of us who study the Theo Bros have long suspected a financial connection between them & the Tech Bros, but were unable to find it. @ForbesTech just did. The connection is thru Marc Andreessen who advises DOGE & New Founding (led by Nate Fischer & Josh Abbottoy). 1/ https://t.co/hkvsAwH0Dl

31/ “They will greet us as liberators” - Tech billionaire Marc Andreessen in a November post about England.
