Once you get to Paralelni Polis, there’s no way back. Not really, but you’ll definitely want to visit it again and again.
What’s the story?
Paralelni Polis was founded by the members of the Ztohoven group, which takes us all the way to Prague, Czech Republic.
Originally, Ztohoven is a Czech guerrilla artist collective known for its artistically motivated pranks.
The members of the Ztohoven group who established Paralelni Polis are often associated with hackers. No wonder. Hackers are #1 activists when it comes to freedom and security issues on the Web. Their ways are not always legal, but their beliefs and principals are very clear.
The members of the Ztohoven group have taken responsibility for some illegal actions in relation to hacker activity, but that’s not what they’re aiming at.
Paralelni Polis: the core
The primary aim of Paralelni Polis is to make available tools for unlimited dissemination of information on the Internet and encouraging a parallel decentralized economy, cryptocurrencies and other conditions for the development of a free society in the 21st century.
New technology inevitable brings new choices, and in our context, blockchain and crypto is the new technology that has opened a lot of doors.
