There needs to be a nuclear power that embraces an open internet with open finance.
Imagine a nuclear power that hosted an open #cashu mint, #fedimint, or crypto exchange that anyone in the world could access. Anyone in the world can connect to their servers. If a country like the United States requested that these servers be shut down, limit access, or that developers were extradited, the hosting country would just say "Bugger off".
Once a nuclear power hosts and defends a free internet, we are really off to the races, as it would require other countries to maintain a North Korea style firewall to contain its own citizens.
United States - 3,708 warheads
Russia - 5,977 warheads
China - 350 warheads
France - 290 warheads
United Kingdom - 190 warheads
Pakistan - 165 warheads
India - 156 warheads
Israel - 90 warheads (Israel has never publicly confirmed or denied its nuclear status)
North Korea - 60 warheads
An obvious answer here is Russia. They are already sanctioned by the west, and don't have much more to loose, and to gain, they could become the new financial center of the world.
I would think that the main hindrance here is that the nuclear country would not want it's own citizens accessing open finance.
