Building Freedom with John McAfee Most ppl will know John from the antivirus company he founded “McAfee Associates, Inc”, but more recently for his involvement in cryptocurrencies. His no-bullshit approach to speaking truth about the government’s desire to control us and how regulations and taxation are preventing a truly free society. Mr. McAfee and I discuss his early entrepreneurial experiences, compare them to formal education and why blockchain and cryptocurrencies helps create freedom by breaking the chains of fiat money.

Bitcoin and Austrian Economics go hand in hand with living a free life. I recently chatted with Naomi Brockwell about all things crypto, money, banking, Austrian economics, bailouts, roads, Ron Paul and living locally in New Hampshire (the Live Free or Die state). The nerdiness of this episode will not disappoint you. Naomi can talk the talk and walk the walk, which I appreciate. Trust me, this episode is both informative and entertaining. #buildfreedom Naomi’s Bio: Naomi Brockwell is a film and television producer, and creator of NBTV and is currently producing for Stossel and formerly produced for Fox Business Network and Fox News Channel. She was also the producer for the 2015 feature documentary Bitcoin: The End of Money as We Know It (Best International Documentary, Anthem Film Festival; Winner of Special Jury Prize, Amsterdam Film Festival), Audition (Best documentary, Lone Star Film Festival) and the Lionsgate thriller, Subconscious.

Show Notes: 0:00:00 Ashe Oro: You are listening to the Liberty Entrepreneurs podcast, episode 88, Drugs, Love and Anarchy. Let's go. 0:19:00 Ashe Oro: Hey, what's up and welcome back all my fellow liberty entrepreneurs around the world. I'm Ashe Oro and I'm here with one of the best people in the world, and I say that, he didn't pay me to say that, but this is one of my good friends, and someone that I respect so much, and it's such a pleasure to have him on the show. Sterlin Lujan. Hey, brother. 0:37:00 Sterlin Lujan: Hey, Ashe, thanks for having me, man, and the feeling's 100% mutual. 0:42:00 Ashe Oro: I appreciate that. 0:42:00 Sterlin Lujan: Lots of love. 0:44:00 Ashe Oro: Yeah, so Sterlin is currently the communications ambassador for bitcoin.com, and many of you may know him as the psychologic anarchist, and we'll get into what that means soon. You can find him at sterlinlujan.com. So definitely go check him out. 1:04:00 Ashe Oro: Sterlin, if you don't mind, give us just a quick background of who you are and what you stand for. 1:08:00 Sterlin Lujan: Sure. Are you sure you want it to be quick, Ashe? 1:16:00 Sterlin Lujan: Well, most people know that I'm an anarchist. If they've ever checked out my material, or looked up my name on Google, you'll find me pretty quickly. 1:26:00 Sterlin Lujan: But I became an anarchist through a certain set of experiences rather than reading a bunch of books or just focusing on the logic of what it means to be an anarchist. That's the traditional route that most people take. 1:42:00 Sterlin Lujan: Back in 2009, roughly 2009, I was ... actually, let's go back just a little bit further, there's something I want to touch on. 1:51:00 Sterlin Lujan: So, around 2006, 2007, I was an unthinking, slobbering zombie who was drooling his way through life. All I did was play video games all the time. I was a college dropout. I was working on a degree at a technical college for graphic design and graphic arts. But I didn't finish that degree. I quit because I was more interested in playing video games and just living an unproductive life, not doing anything. I didn't have any drive or ambition or passion about anything whatsoever. 2:28:00 Sterlin Lujan: Then in roughly, yeah it was about 2007, I think, maybe it was 2006, I was about 26 or 27 years old. And a good friend of mine invited me over to his house and told me that I needed to try something. So I went over to my buddy's house, and he said, "Here, take this pill. It's going to make you really happy." Well, that was an understatement. The pill that he gave me was MDMA, or methylenedioxy-methamphetamine, which is the street name, or that's the pharmaceutical name for ecstasy, which now a lot of the kids are calling molly. 3:07:00 Ashe Oro: Right, MDMA. 3:08:00 Sterlin Lujan: But sometimes molly can be adulterated and be other things, but that's another story. So I took MDMA and this was actual MDMA, and I had an epiphany where I had finally realized that I could do so much more with my life. I realized that I was a lot more intelligent than I had previously thought. And I also had the insight that I was going by what I was told as I was growing up, I was in remedial mathematics classes. I wasn't really very intelligent according to the public education system.

Ashe Oro: Hey what's up everyone? Welcome back to the Liberty Entrepreneurs podcast I'm your host Ashe Oro and I've got David Rodriguez on the show today. He is the founding principal of Valor Academy. It's a private school that empowers students to pursue their own interests and passions utilizing the apprenticeship model, and he's also a publisher of the Underground History of American Education, Volume One by the world renowned school teacher from New York John Taylor Gatto, and he's got another book on the way. So, David welcome to Liberty Entrepreneurs. David Rodriguez: Ashe, great to be with you. I'm very excited to have this conversation with you man. I'm looking forward to it. Ashe Oro: Yeah for sure. And I just want to add, I just happened to wear this pineapple shirt today and David said that he had a pineapple shirt so apparently it is pineapple day. David Rodriguez: Yes. He had it on and he was like, when he said he put it on I said, "Alright let's do it." So we'll have a good pineapple conversation, lighten up the conversation a little bit. Ashe Oro: Today we're going to be talking about children, and those with younger years than us David. People who are still for whatever reasons forced through schooling to follow someone else's passion rather than their own passions. Fill in the gaps here David. Who are you? What are you passionate about? And how are you building freedom?

0:00 Ashe Oro: You're listening to the Liberty Entrepreneurs Podcast, episode 86, What is the Free State Project? Let's go. 0:19 Ashe Oro: Hey, so what's up, everyone? Welcome to the Liberty Entrepreneurs Podcast. I've got on the show today a very interesting guy who I've known for a couple years, and he's actually a client of Liberty Virtual Assistants. We got Rodger Paxton. He is on the board of the Free State Project in New Hampshire, which is the reason that I brought him on, but he's also the producer of PorcFest. If my libertarian audience knows what PorcFest is, this is one of the key guys that creates PorcFest for you, and he's the founder and host of The LAVA Flow Podcast, which is part of the Pax Libertas Productions Network. Rodger, welcome to Liberty Entrepreneurs. 0:58 Rodger Paxton: Thanks for having me, Ashe. It's great to connect. 1:00 Ashe Oro: Yeah. Rodger, let's just get started here. What is the Free State Project, and how did you hear about it? 1:07 Rodger Paxton: The Free State Project was started, oh, goodness, about 15 years ago, I guess, now as a ... It was a thesis that Jason Sorens was doing for one of his degrees and was basically an idea of bringing a bunch of libertarians, 20,000, to one small state so they could centralize their activism, their voting, whatever libertarians can do to make that state the freest state in the country, possibly, and exert the maximum effort that they could to make that happen. 1:38 Rodger Paxton: It started, like I said, about 15 years ago. They looked at 10 different states. New Hampshire won the vote, and so then people started moving here almost immediately 10 or 12 years ago, matter of fact, I know several people who have been here for 10 years. I first found out about it in 2010 I believe it was, at the National Libertarian Party Convention. They had a booth there, of all things, and my wife and I were talking to the folks, and I'm for Arkansas. I'm from the deep South. 2:08 Ashe Oro: Right. 2:08 Rodger Paxton: I'm from hot, humid. That's what I love, right? I thought, "There's no way I'm ever going to move to New Hampshire. It snows, and it's cold." I didn't think about it for years, and then after being the chairman of the Libertarian Party for a while and banging my head against that wall, I realized, I've got to do something different. Something has to change. 2:26 Ashe Oro: Yes. 2:27 Rodger Paxton: We started looking at it again. Three years ago, actually, next week will be our three-year anniversary we moved up here, and I've loved being here. It's been amazing journey. 2:36 Ashe Oro: I believe you're a Ron Paul as well, likewise. I remember him saying back in the 2008 election cycle this concept of vote with your feet. What does that mean, and how does the Free State Project tie into that?

Ashe Oro: Hey, what's up everyone? Welcome back to the Liberty Entrepreneurs podcast. I'm your host, Ashe Oro, and today on the show, we've got Nathan James. You probably don't know who that is, but he's also known as N.S. James. He's the founder of Scatter, which manages signatures, identity, reputation, and your security on blockchains, including Ethereum; EOS, my favorite; recently, Tron; and possibly Bitcoin in the future. Ashe Oro: Nathan, thanks for joining us. Nathan James: Thank you for having me. Ashe Oro: Everyone in the EOS community knows who you are, but just in case they've been living under a rock for the past six months or so, who are you and how did you find the whole blockchain thing? Nathan James: Well, I'm Nathan James. That's who I am, right? Ashe Oro: Or are you N. S. James? Nathan James: Or am I N. S. James? I don't even know anymore. [crosstalk 00:00:53] handles. Ashe Oro: The programmer formerly known as. Nathan James: Yes, the programmer formerly known as Nathan. I'm just a programmer who likes the idea of blockchain, loves the idea of blockchain. You know, there's a thing in blockchain where, once you get it into your head, you just can't sleep anymore. All you do is dream is about blockchain and I think that it's really true. It is. I haven't slept since EOS was launched, but when I do sleep, I sleep of blockchain. Ashe Oro: I was going to say, "In like five years." Nathan James: Yeah, in like five years. Exactly. Ashe Oro: So what is Scatter? In your own words, what is it? Nathan James: A lot of people seem to focus on its single sign-on aspect, but that's the smallest part of it. Scatter is a multi-blockchain key protector. It allows you to sign things on the blockchain without ever exposing your key to the thing that you're signing it on, so applications, desktops, games, whatever. It helps you protect yourself. That's its first and foremost goal. Nathan James: Now, we're starting to also add identity on top of that. We're starting to add reputation on top of that. Single sign-on is a byproduct of the identity and reputation. You can log into applications locally without having to give up your information to Facebook, Google, Twitter, whatever. Ashe Oro: I know that this started and you're big in the EOS community, but why did you also decide to support these other chains like Ethereum, Tron, and I think possibly, Bitcoin? Nathan James: It goes back to what we're fighting, right? We're not fighting Ethereum as EOSers. We're not fighting Tron as Ethereumers. We're fighting banks, we're fighting governments. It's hard to say that on camera, right? We're fighting FICO scores. We're trying to fight centralized components. Fighting between us, between other blockchains, isn't constructive. It's not helpful. Nathan James: I've taken a very agnostic approach with Scatter and we're just going to add all the blockchains. It will allow us to do amazing things in the future. Ashe Oro: And why did you start developing Scatter on EOS and for that community specifically?

Ashe Oro: And why did you start developing Scatter on EOS and for that community specifically? Nathan James: Actually, it came out of a need, and not just my need, everybody's need. Nathan James: When I first got into EOS, it was December of 2017. There was nothing like Scatter, there was no signature provider. Now we have a couple of different ones. There's [inaudible 00:03:20] TokenPocket, there's Lynx. Scatter was created because people wanted to make apps. All throughout the apps that I saw people making, they had that little stupid input field where you had to put in your private key. I was like, "Well, there's no way this is going to sustain itself."

The user experience in crypto stinks. Metal Pay is building consumer apps that you actually want to use. 0:00:00 Ashe Oro: Hey what's up, Liberty Nation? Welcome back to Liberty Entrepreneurs podcast. I'm your host, Ashe Oro, and today, we've got Marshall Hayner. He is the CEO and founder of Metal, which is basically like a crypto Venmo. They're a payments company that bridges the crypto payments with the legacy financial system. This hits near and dear to my heart. As you know, I was in the banking industry for a couple years, so I expect a great conversation today. Marshall, welcome to Liberty Entrepreneurs. 0:00:31 Marshall Hayner: Thanks for having me on, Ashe. 0:00:32 Ashe Oro: Yeah, so fill in the gaps here of who you are, what your bio is, and how you got into crypto. 0:00:38 Marshall Hayner: Yeah, so my background is, I'm one of these early crypto people. I happened to be lucky enough to stumble on it, in the very beginning in 2009, and part of that was because of my interest in decentralized technology, and just being a geek, looking for things to play with on the internet. And when I was growing up, when I was in high school, when I was going off to college, I was living during the Napster time. Napster was the cool, hot new thing, and then from there, direct connect in college, and Limewire, Kazaa, [inaudible 00:01:15] those that remember it. And then BitTorrent. BitTorrent was so cool, it just blew my mind. 80% of all internet traffic is routed through this decentralized system. And what I thought was really cool was it was harder to censor, so it made journalism in different parts of the world much more possible. It allowed people to share files that they couldn't normally, or just share them more efficiently and faster. And I could see, this is where the internet is going. We're going to become this decentralized system, and the more we decentralize, the more power we give to people, and that just blew my mind. And so I became obsessed.

Ashe Oro: 00:00 What's up and welcome back to the Liberty Entrepreneurs Podcast. I'm your host, Ashe Oro, and we've got a return guest today, Kevin Geary. He's the founder of sixfiguregrind.com and most recently The 250,000 Society. I think he calls The 250k Society. Welcome back to Liberty Entrepreneurs, Kevin. Kevin Geary: 00:20 Thanks for having me. Glad to be here. Ashe Oro: 00:21 Yeah. Listeners will recognize Kevin from episode 70 where we talk about everything you know about food is wrong, but I had to get Kevin back on the show because there's this concept of a digital lifestyle business that he's been promoting on social media and on his podcasts and on his websites, and it really clicks with me, someone who's a digital entrepreneur and nomad and loves the idea of build a business that takes care of you and your family, and you don't have to build the next Microsoft or Apple. Ashe Oro: 00:52 Kevin, can you give us a brief background of who you are and what is the Six Figure Grind? Kevin Geary: 00:59 That is my current mission is to help anybody who's interested. If you're out there listening and you have some entrepreneurial blood inside you, and you want to take advantage of what I see as the biggest opportunity of the history of the human race really when you look at it. The ability to build an online lifestyle business like you just said takes care of yourself and your family yet you don't have to go to the length of building some massive thing that has a bunch of risks and that you need venture capital for and all of this other stuff.

Ashe Oro: Welcome to the Liberty Entrepreneurs Podcast. I'm your host, Ashe Oro and today's guest is Derek Loudermilk. He's the host of The Art of Adventure Podcast. He's a high performance coach and the author of the forthcoming book Superconductors which promotes the idea of skill stacking, how to acquire a set of skills that makes you more rare, valuable and irreplaceable in the marketplace. Ashe Oro: Derek, welcome to Liberty Entrepreneurs. Derek Loudermilk: Ashe, it's a pleasure to be here. Ashe Oro: So, fill in the gaps here. Who are you and what are you passionate about? Derek Loudermilk: I like to call myself professional adventurer and I have been traveling for the last four years. I think you and I have actually wound up in some of the same places. I was traveling solo and now, I'm traveling with a family. And wherever we go, countries around the world, I like to both go on adventures, find some wilderness area to explore but I'm also talking to entrepreneurs in each country that I go to and I'm learning from people like co-working spaces but also local entrepreneur, people that own fruit stands and tour guide companies and things like that. Derek Loudermilk: I'm really trying to get a pulse of the state of entrepreneurship in each place that I travel to and mixing that with going on adventures and spending plenty of time outdoors and in the wilderness. Ashe Oro: Yeah, so what is it about adventures specifically and just what are adventures and why do you feel like this is drawn to you and what does this have anything to do with being an entrepreneur? Derek Loudermilk: Yeah. So, I've come up with this definition of adventure. There's three parts. One is that an adventure is called an interesting or remarkable experience in the dictionary, which means to remark about something means you tell a story about it. You leave an adventure with a story. There's some element of risk to adventure. The word adventure comes from the French "aventure" and it's the same as venture as in venture capital and that there are some element of risk whether it's real or perceived risks of physical danger or maybe it's just you feel like you're taking a risk socially or something like that. Derek Loudermilk: And the third is there is some element of change that happens to you. As you complete an adventure, you come out of it as a new person. It leaves its mark on you that you bring to your following endeavors, that you bring to the rest of the world that you can share with your friends. An adventurer, maybe and the most common types are traveling to a distant place. It's easiest to have an adventure when you go to a new country or when you go to the wilderness because you're physically changing so many things in your surroundings. Derek Loudermilk: But adventure can happen on a much smaller scale any time you have those elements where you are taking a risk and you're going through something. It could be buying a house for the first time as some type of adventure or a relationship or there's any number of things that can fall into that adventure framework including starting a business. Ashe Oro: Right, hence, the tie to entrepreneurism. Are you an adventurepreneur?

Everipedia is Wikipedia on the blockchain. What does that mean for privacy, openness and fair use? It’s less than 2 weeks until the launch of the EOS blockchain and today we chat with Mahbod Moghadam, co-founder of Everipedia, a blockchain-based Wikipedia built on the EOS blockchain. Mahbod graduated from Yale in 2004 and was the co-founder of Rap Genius (now, Genius.com) which finds the meaning in song lyrics. While building Rap Genius, Mahbod decided to create his own Wikipedia page, and was unpleasantly surprised that he wasn’t allowed. Apparently didn’t have a high profile, even after raising millions, to be accepted at Wikipedia.com. With the idea that anyone should be able to create a wiki page for themselves, he and a few other co-founders decided to launch Everipedia.org as an “expansion pack” to Wikipedia.com. Basically, if you weren’t popular or “cool” enough to get a Wikipedia page, you could create your own page on Everipedia. Before you think that Everipedia is some scrub website, they imported all of the current Wikipedia articles. This means that they have over 6,000,000 unique articles to search from. Before you cry “plagiarism”, please remember that Wikipedia imported the articles of the Encyclopedia Britannica. Ok, everyone cool now? Anyways, here’s some additional information about Everipedia.org: Everipedia background: over 6 million articles No ads Anyone can create an article and be an editor about anything, no censorship Started with all of the wikipedia articles inside of it? Hired Larry Sanger, co-founder of Wikipedia AND Everipedia Raised $30M, fully funded by Block.One, the creators of the EOS.io software More fun facts, Everipedia didn’t start off as a blockchain project. They started as a website that offered reward points to incentivize authors and editors. Guess what? This influence model can’t complete with the tokenized world of blockchain. So, Everipedia networked with Block.One and raised $30M, complete bought by Block.One, and decided to be the first airdrop on the EOS platform. Ok, they didn’t drop their tokens first, but they were the first to announce. Why would they do this? Well, they want to build a community of content creators, editors and consumers. Airdropping your tokens on EOS means that you get and instant community of like-minded please. Pretty clever. So, tune in to find out why their token, the IQ token, exists and how it incentivizes users and why they chose to build on the EOS blockchain. We’re just getting started with EOS and there’s going to be a LOT more dApps that decide to airdop in order to quickly build a community. If Dan Larimer learned one thing about Steem, it was that the initial token distribution is very important, and by incentivizing airdrops to EOS token holders, dApp team can take advantage of the year long ICO. I hope you enjoy this episode and I’ve included all the links to keep up-to-date with the Everipedia team, Don’t forget to buy EOS tokens and register them ASAP in order to receive the free Everipedia IQ tokens. This isn’t investment advice. I don’t have any license, certification or experience to offer it. What you do with your money is your own business. I don’t care, and good luck. Until next time...KEEP BUILDING FREEDOM!!

With < 40 days until the launch of the EOS.io software, I interviewed one of the most prominent Block Producing candidates, EOS New York, and their Head of Community Kevin Rose. Since we’ve previously covered the mechanics of HOW Block Producers will secure the network and how they are technically in charge of creating and inserting transactions in to the blocks, this episode focuses on the different roles that BP’s have; being a community role model as well as running a “for profit” business. Remember, we are launching and supporting the EOS blockchain to be entrepreneur and business friendly and to support a worldwide community of like-minded individuals. My favorite segment was when Kevin and I discuss, in depth, the role of governance within EOS. Let’s face it, people have disagreements which must be arbitrated and must address the issues of fraud and theft. No other chain is taking a serious stance on how to this on-chain. With Bitcoin, it’s whoever has the most hashing power, but in EOS there’s a governance and legal layer build thought through and built in from the ground. For example, if you feel like you were scammed (maybe on an Ebay that’s built on EOS), you actually have an outlet to appeal to who can hear your case. You know, kind of like in the real world. A ruling can be given from the arbiters and the transaction could be reversed by the Block Producers. The concept of a “free market justice system” is quite foreign to most, but just as we want competition in all other aspects of life (food, computers, money, etc) we want it in our legal system as well. The checks and balances as well as the feedback mechanisms of the free market will continually reduce costs and improve quality over time. In the legacy system, the government has a monopoly on the legal system which is why it straight-up sucks. Think about this, you could have 1000’s of people to choose from to hear your case. Each of them specializing in various niches so that you can get the most accurate and trustworthy ruling available. Also, how will insurance companies play a part in this new blockchain-based governance model? I don’t know, and that’s the best part. We are free to evolve our legal system however we see fit! The EOS software is coming and may usher in a new phase in “blockchain operating systems” with technology that can support mass adoption. A new Dawn is coming.

Let’s chat about Bitshares, Steem and EOS! Today’s guest is Luke Stokes, a digital entrepreneur, current Steem Witness and he recently joined the eosDAC Block Producer launch team leading up to the EOS mainnet launch on June 1st. Before his blockchain days, Luke built an online shopping cart named FoxyCart which was later rebranded to Foxy.io. What started off as a “weekend project” turned in to a 10-year business venture with a partner of his. Luke recently sold his stake in Foxy.io and now his sole income relies on “chasing virtual internet tokens”. Risky? Maybe, but Luke wanted to follow his new passion and has gone head-first into crypto and blockchain and for him, there’s no turning back. In this episode, we discuss the Delegated Proof of Stake technology and the role that both Witnesses and Block Producers play in securing the blockchain. We also chat about the concept of “voluntary inflation” and how new money creation, if used correctly, can actually build and support a community rather than decrease the value of everyone’s money over time (which is what happens when governments print and inflate the money supply). This episode offers a mix of economics, politics, technology, philosophy all intertwined with the foundation of the Non-Aggression Principle. We may even chat a bit about Ron Paul for those of you who remember the 07-08 and 11-12 campaigns. I don’t know about you, but that was my entry point in to personal liberty. I hope you enjoy this episode as much as I did. Luke was one of the main reasons that I found out about Delegated Proof of Stake and I too dove head in. I’m really glad to see him so active in the EOS community. The smartest minds in crypto are in EOS.

Today’s guest is David Packham, co-founder of EOS42, a block producer candidate based in London. He and his team are currently building an EOS delegation market to facilitate EOS-based token leasing in hopes of building trust and earning the votes required to become an EOS block producer. If you aren’t sure what that means, this episode is for you. EOS is a “generation 3 blockchain” which is set to launch in early June 2018. It’s creator, Dan Larimer (@bytemaster7), has previously built two other successful blockchain projects, Bitshares and Steem, both which use the Delegated Proof of Stake blockchain technology. If you are unfamiliar with EOS, here’s a fairly good article detailing various aspects of it https://blockonomi.com/eos-guide/ and here are the EOS.IO FAQ’s https://eos.io/faq.html. I also recommend checking out EOS Go for the latest news and telegram summaries from the various EOS groups online: https://busy.org/@eosgo Much of this discussion focuses on many aspects of EOS as a token, a blockchain and a community. From how inflation is used, to the resource mechanics of the EOS token, a little EOS vs ETH and detailing the unique governance system in place to help settle disputes rather than relying on hard forks. Although we get a bit technical and philosophical at times, I believe this conversation will appeal to both the casual and advanced crypto listener. David and I chat briefly about his background in finance to how he found cryptocurrencies and why he’s dedicating his time to the EOS community and hopefully become a block producer. If you don’t know what a block producer is, don’t worry and tune in. We wrap up by discussing the Chintai, the EOS42 Teams token delegation project which allows for dApp teams to essential lease tokens to gain access to the EOS resource pool (bandwidth and storage) so that they can satisfy the requirements of their applications. Leasing would be done in lieu of actually purchasing the EOS tokens. Why would this market exist and what are the incentives? We discuss and answer these questions and much more.

Big banks (aka the Banking Cartel) has been able to push us around for too long. With their close ties to the mafia, I mean the government, and their access to monopolized fiat money rails (SWIFT, etc)...we have had nearly no choice to build, store and transact our wealth in terms of money. Sure, we could use cash, but that’s really inconvenient and not congruent with our 21st century, digital world. Let’s face it, we’ve been pushed in to a corner for decades. Since interest rates are so low, it means that banks may be better off (yield-wise) borrowing from the Central Banks rather than from their typical banking clients. This creates an inverse incentive for customer service and we, the historic loaners, are now seen as a compliance risk with additional complication. This means that banks become less and less willing to make small loans or accept “high risk” (ie low profit) clients as they once would. My guest, Hayden Miyamoto, knows this all too well. His company www.Fundary.com has the motto “arming the world with global decentralized credit and investments”. He currently lives in Mexico and tells us how the local people actually save, lend and borrow money. They live entirely outside of the legacy banking system which comes with its own set of risks and expenses. Often it requires insane % of capital to borrow for a loan and the interest rates can be >100%/year. The problem, as Hayden describes, is liquidity. Now that blockchain tech has become more accepted and better understood, the benefits have started to shine. With the ability to accept peer-2-peer, micro loans from clients around the world, Hayden and his team can offer the Mexican people APR rates far below the current market rate. ....you can think the government monopoly on money and payment channels for this disadvantage for the poor and underserved. Helping the poor, as we’ve seen in several other Liberty Entrepreneurs interviews, is one of blockchain tech’s main advantages. It cuts out the middleman and allows us to help each other while greatly bypassing the central authorities that have historically held us back and told us no. Guess, what...we don’t be told no for much long. Build Freedom, Ashe Contact Info: Email: haydenmiyamoto@fundary.com Website: https://fundary.network/ PLEASE LEAVE A REVIEW ON YOUR FAVORITE PLATFORM!

This was the “Year of Bitcoin” but also the year which the term “ICO” became well-known and grabbed the headlines of the legacy media across the world. Seemingly out of nowhere, crypto teams could raise MILLIONS by issuing their own tokens and fund their development for years. The amount of money raised in 2017 by ICOs, so far, is ~$4,000,000,000 ($4 Billion). With this new ICO opportunity, a decision has to be made when planning your raise. Use the more traditional VC model or use the new blockchain-based ICO method. My guest, Joshua Vaultoro CEO of www.Vaultoro.com a global gold and Bitcoin marketplace, and I discuss some of the pros and cons of both VC and ICO funding and why the Vaultoro.com decided on the more traditional route.

In the “legacy banking industry”, moving money around the world sucks. It’s slow, expensive and overly encumbered with regulations and difficulties gaining access to global currencies. As a foreigner, how are you going to get access to the Thai baht or Iraqi dinari? You aren’t. This presents a huge problem. Either you can’t send money home to your family in the local currency they need or you have to pay ridiculous conversion and FOREX fees along the way. ***If you only have ~5min, start at the 13 minute mark to hear how Bitshares and Smart Coins are specifically being used with Bitspark.io and why they are moving away from Bitcoin. Bitspark.io CEO George Harrap created a company to help solve this huge pain, but initially envisioned Bitcoin being the cryptocurrency of choice. At the time, it was fast and nearly free to send. Funding accounts were much easier than sending a bank wire across the world. Also, bitcoin was used as an “intermediate” currency meaning that they would buy bitcoin with one currency and sell bitcoin for another currency. This was much easier than running a full FOREX trading desk. Recently, George decided to experiment with another cryptocurrency, Bitshares. What’s interesting is the ability to create “smart coins” or “pegged cryptocurrencies” within the Bitshares Decentralized Exchange (DEX) to provided price exposure to some of these difficult to obtain currencies like the Thai baht or Vietnam dong. This essentially removes the need for Bitspark.io to open and maintain bank accounts in these exotic currencies and deal with the overhead of maintaining a bank account for each. Needless to say, cryptocurrencies are completely disrupting the financial system. We have just cracked the ice on how that’s going to reshape the desperate international banking system.

Today’s guest is Roger Ver, Co-Founder of FreeSociety.com and Owner of Bitcoin.com. Recently, at the Nexus Conference in Aspen, Colorado, Roger announced a new project called “Free Society”. Basically he and other founders and investors plan to purchase land from a sovereign state-owned country with the idea of building a “free society” based on libertarian principles. I knew that I had to get Roger back on Liberty Entrepreneurs to discuss this revolutionary idea. In the past, free societies have been attempted with several different models, none of which have been very successful. One of the most popular attempts isthe Seastead movement which aims to build floating cities on international waters, but this has unique and obvious engineering and logistic problems. Another is Liberland, a small piece of land on the Danube River between Croatia and Serbia. Basically, the “president” Vit Jedli?ka was able to locate the land and confirm that neither country had laid claim. As you can imagine, governments aren’t exactly friendly to new countries popping up within their borders, especially ones that claim to have an anarchist for president. Roger’s approach could signal a new way to go about building our own Galt’s Gulch. Since we still live in a state-controlled world, we must still get their permission and this is exactly what Free Society plans to do. As governments continue to go broke, because of their own terrible business models and as their debt-backed, fiat currencies lose value in the face of the rising demand of cryptocurrency, they will be forced to sell of their assets in an attempt to keep paying out and covering the favors they’ve promised. This means some of the land the government has stolen will be sold back into the private sector, but with an agreement and contracts attached. Roger and I start out by taking a look at his libertarian foundation and how he formed his guiding set or principles (ie NAP). Spoiler: He thought Mises’ book Socialism was a pro-Socialism book lololol. Other topics covered include: What is “Free Society” and how did you get the idea? How is it similar/different than Seasteading or Liberland? What are the important problems that need to be solved for this experiment to work and be successful? How do see this society progressing from literally nothing into a free market-based, wealthy society? Let’s compare how more opportunities are available now than ever because of cryptocurrencies vs relying on the State’s fiat money and/or precious metals as possible monies. How will things be “regulated” and how will licensing work? Walk us through an example of a digital nomad coming to Free Society to live and work. Visas/passports? Renting an apartment? Hope you enjoyed this one and please share it with your friends! See you on the first plane to Free Society!
