In Saint Kitts and Nevis, the "Libertarian State" concept accelerates, led by Bitcoin investors

On the Caribbean island of Saint Kitts and Nevis, Bitcoin investors are pushing forward with a bold social experiment. A group of investors led by Olivier Jansen is planning to build an independent libertarian community called “Destiny” on Nevis Island, and the authorities of Saint Kitts and Nevis are also advancing legislation for a Special Sustainable Development Zone (SSZDA).

The Full Scope of the Destiny Project: Building a Cryptocurrency Economy on 2,400 Acres

The scale of this project is beyond imagination. It involves securing 2,400 acres of land and creating a completely independent economic system there. The main feature is adopting cryptocurrency as the official currency for daily transactions. Additionally, by establishing its own dispute resolution mechanisms without relying on traditional judicial systems, the project aims to realize a truly “free” society.

Saint Kitts and Nevis as the Experimental Ground for the “Network State” Movement

Destiny is not just a regional development project but part of a new social movement called the “Network State.” Using technology and cryptocurrencies as tools, it seeks to establish a territorial community that transcends conventional notions of nation-states. As Saint Kitts and Nevis becomes the testing ground for such a project, it is attracting attention from libertarian thinkers worldwide.

Local Legal Community Warns: Growing Concerns Over “State Within a State” Formation

However, this ambitious plan has raised serious concerns from the local Bar Association of Saint Kitts and Nevis. They point out that granting excessive administrative authority to developers could ultimately lead to a de facto “state within a state” — a risk of territorial fragmentation. There are also warnings about the divergence between legal sovereignty and actual power, and ongoing discussions are closely watched as the legislation process continues.
