“an important shift is underway in the
industry: Distributed file storage
systems like Storj have the potential

“In International Law, self-determination
has direct political application. It is an

dictates that everyone has the unilateral
ability to choose for themselves what
system of governance to be ruled by,
including ONE'S OWN RULE OF LAW.....
which is precisely all that each
Nation/State owes its existence.”
