Creating local community in digital villages | Atsushi Hayashi | TEDxToyotaKOSEN

When he was a child, he lived with pure curiosity, surrounded by nature. As he grew up, he became part of a system with standardized values, losing his individuality and creativity. Modern society prioritizes money and productivity, devaluing human creativity. He wants to eliminate these values and create a world where we can create purely, like children. Human creativity should be a real asset. By embracing diverse identities and ideas, we can generate sustainable value and move beyond outdated social structures. He aims for a new world where individuality is respected and old frameworks dissolve. Atsushi Hayashi is a visionary entrepreneur proposing innovative
solutions for Japanese demographic challenges. As a co-founder of
paramita and Nishikigoi NFT (Crypto Village) and founder of Next
Commons Lab(NCL), he leverages blockchain technology to reshape
governance and wealth distribution in Japan. Atsu also redefined local
governance and ended up launching nationwide entities, "Local Coop".
In Local Coop, a NFT-based e-residency system, Nishikigoi NFT,
attracted a global community to Yamakoshi village. His projects can be
explored through localcoop.io, nishikigoinft.com, and sinra.app/en. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
