Becoming a Digital Citizen: Opportunities, Risks, and Realities (with Benjamin Hies)

What does it mean to be a “digital citizen” in today’s world? More than just working online, it’s about the freedom—and the responsibility—that comes with decoupling your life from a single country’s systems. In this session, we explored how digital residency, e-governance, and borderless tools are opening new doors for expats and global citizens alike.

The conversation touched on both the promise and the pitfalls. From Estonia’s pioneering e-residency program to the growing number of nations experimenting with digital identity and remote-first services, the landscape is evolving fast. But with these opportunities come critical questions: What happens to privacy when governments digitize everything? How secure are these systems, and what trade-offs are we making for convenience?

If you’re considering life beyond borders—or simply want to understand how digital frameworks are reshaping global mobility—this replay offers an excellent look at where things are headed and how to prepare.
