Bitcoin, Culture, Property Rights, Natural Law, Liberty, Democracy, Security, AI, Economics, Personal Responsibility, Geopolitics, Bitcoin Education. - Timothy Allen speaks with Knut Svanholm. In this conversation we discuss the evolution of Bitcoin culture, security, and the balance between fear-based narratives and empowerment through self-sovereignty. Knut highlights natural law, property rights, and the non-aggression principle, connecting these ideas to Bitcoin’s role as a tool for peaceful trade and communication. The conversation also touches on AI’s limitations, personal responsibility within the Bitcoin community, and critiques of democracy versus trade-driven societies. We also explore geopolitics, the erosion of freedom, and how Bitcoin offers hope, resilience, and emancipation for the individual.

Welcome to this bonus episode of the Free Cities Podcast. These episodes are exclusively available to our subscribers on Fountain.fm, and I will be releasing them periodically throughout the year, especially during weeks when our regular episodes are ones subscribers have already had early access to. . If you're not on Fountain, you can access the episode here: https://fountain.fm/episode/727p2ykSx85aTmeNbC8N . Where should I begin with this one? It is a very long episode—over three and a half hours in total—but as always, there is a reason for that. . A bit of background: in November 2022, I was in San Salvador speaking at Adopting BTC, a Bitcoin conference in El Salvador. At the opening party, I met a gentleman by the name of Jake Hamilton and we had a very interesting late conversation over dinner that struck a chord within me. . Later during the trip, I had a day off and reached out to him to ask if he would sit down and and have a conversation with me. Nothing was off the table; the plan was simply to start talking and see where it went. That is exactly what we did. . We began by discussing Urbit, a decentralized operating system that Jake is a developer for. That was my original reason for wanting to speak with him. However, the conversation quickly branched off into a huge range of topics. . When I edit these podcasts, I usually keep a running list of subjects we cover. By the end, it helps me get a clear picture of what we talked about and makes writing an episode description much easier. For this conversation, that list grew to more than sixty topics. To give you a sense of what you’re in for, we started with Urbit and moved on to digital nomadism, ethics, complex systems, artificial intelligence, the Akashic records, Bitcoin and time, Planck seconds, non-computational quantum physics, metaphysics, the origins of humans, the digital realm, religion, Christianity, simulation theory, the end of humanity, DMT, psychedelics and near-death experiences, fasting, spirituality, ketamine, spirit animals, sugar, proof of work, existential traps, narcissism, StarkNet, the Bitcoin circular economy, Bitcoin maximalism, the philosophy of Bitcoin, Bitcoin as monetary critique, digital aliens, the mystery of Satoshi Nakamoto, Neuralink, conflict, and cultural patrimony. And that is only part of the list. . I even asked an AI to summarize it, and it came back with: “Urbit, Bitcoin, digital nomadism, effective altruism, and various aspects of technology, consciousness, and the future of humanity.” I prefer my own list. . This is exactly the kind of podcast I love to make, and I am very grateful to Jake for agreeing to do it. After all, he was just someone I met at a party. We had never met before, and I have not met him since. Yet he was incredibly generous with his time, sitting down with me for three and a half hours at their Urbit developer house in San Salvador. . I think this episode is a perfect bonus because it is quite technical and especially relevant to the Nostr community, the value-for-value community, and of course, Bitcoiners. It has essentially never been heard. I originally recorded it for a podcast I had just started at the time, but that project went nowhere because I launched this show a few weeks later. So this recording has been sitting untouched for a couple of years, just like the other episodes I will be releasing here. . If you want to follow Jake and hear more of his unique perspectives, you can find him on Twitter at his intriguing handle 36_72541890. He once explained the meaning of that number to me, but I have completely forgotten it, and even ChatGPT cannot figure it out. . Settle in for this one. You may really want to sit back and relax. I hope you enjoy it. I certainly did, and conversations like this are one of the reasons I get up in the morning. . Enjoy.

Welcome to this bonus episode of the Free Cities podcast. These episodes are only available to our subscribers on Fountain.fm or other value-for-value platforms. I’ll be dropping them in the weeks when the regular release episodes are ones you’ve already had early access to, or, like this week, simply because I wanted to share a bonus episode. . If you're not on Fountain, you can access the episode here: https://fountain.fm/episode/s9WEvF6f5fWx8LTONl4f . A little background on this one: it’s part two of two separate conversations I had with the Bitcoin OG Gigi, which, unbelievably, had never been released until now. Back in the summer of 2021, I was working on a personal film project with Australian filmmaker Richard James, who was also on this call with us and appears briefly a couple of times. . My part in the project involved conducting a series of interviews with prominent Bitcoiners, focusing on the subject of proof of work. Then, as now, I believed that understanding proof of work was the key to greater mainstream acceptance of Bitcoin, particularly around issues like energy consumption. Proof of work is one of the hardest aspects of Bitcoin to fully grasp, and since I consider Gigi one of the key voices on this subject, I was grateful to record more than four hours of conversation with him. . This part of the conversation begins with us discussing what was, at the time, the hot topic of the week among Bitcoiners: Robert Breedlove’s very out-of-character endorsement of BitClout, a controversial blockchain-based social network. That incident raised important questions of trust and truth in the Bitcoin space, and Gigi was very publicly involved in the debate. Listening back now offers fascinating insight into what makes Bitcoiners tick. . This is actually the first time I’ve revisited the recording since it was made, and I found it absolutely captivating. Later in the discussion, we venture deep into the Bitcoin rabbit hole, including some riveting exploration of the spiritual aspects of Bitcoin’s emergence, something Gigi speaks about with remarkable clarity. He also shares his powerful personal story of discovering Bitcoin and the transformation it sparked in his life. . Bear in mind that the conversation occasionally slips into a question-and-answer format, which isn’t my preferred style, and recording online brought its own challenges. You’ll notice Gigi’s connection drops out briefly, though I’ve edited it together as seamlessly as possible. . Long story short, this whole project ultimately fell victim to the pandemic, which was still raging in the background as we recorded. You’ll hear us reference it at the start. Around that time, I closed my office and went abroad with my family to escape the draconian measures in the UK. As a result, this interview, along with many others I recorded with other prominent Bitcoiners at the time, has sat idle on a hard drive for the past four years. . I hate seeing work go to waste, so I decided this podcast would be the perfect place to finally share it. There’s a lot of signal here, and I was struck by how much has changed since these conversations in 2021—not only my own understanding of the subjects we discussed, but also the dramatic shifts in Bitcoin’s adoption and public image. . I think you’re going to enjoy this one. I certainly did. Here’s the conversation. Many thanks to Gigi and Richard for giving me permission to release it in full. . Enjoy, and I’ll see you on the next bonus episode.

Real Estate Investing, Bitcoin Standard, Austrian Economics, Property Market Crash, Monetary Expansion, Digital Economy, Inflation Hedge Myth, Free Cities, Proof-Of-Work, Architecture, Japan. - Timothy Allen speaks with Leon Wankum. Leon, a veteran real estate developer speaks about his journey from property and construction into Austrian economics and Bitcoin. Leon challenges the idea that real estate is a safe store of value, arguing that its monetary premium is misplaced in a digital economy. He contrasts the fragility of leveraged property markets with Bitcoin’s fixed supply, warning that utility-based pricing could upend the global financial system. From the demonetization of real estate to the rise of service-oriented housing and Bitcoin-based innovation, Leon envisions a future where property is valued for use, not speculation — and where Bitcoin strengthens resilience, reshapes development, and supports the growth of free cities.

Freedom, John Locke, Privacy, Property, Cypherpunk, Bitcoin, Praxeology, Parallel Economies, Nomadism, Intervention, Sovereignty, Scarcity. Timothy Allen speaks with Max Hillebrand. Max joins me to explore freedom, privacy, and property rights in the free market of ideas. We discuss Cypherpunk strategies, the appeal of Bitcoin, Free Cities, and digital nomadism as ways to resist creeping socialism and surveillance. Drawing on Lockean ownership theory, Austrian economics, and praxeology, Max makes the case for combining decentralization, community, and technology to defend liberty in both physical and digital realms.
