Nostr, Surveillance State, Religion, Bitcoin, Great Filters, Acceleration Theory, Family, Decentralised Networks, Defiance. Timothy Allen talks with Selfbankt. I've got another pseudonymous guest for you again this week. He's somebody I originally met through Twitter some years ago, subsequently forging a good friendship in real life, you may know him from Twitter yourself, in fact. He was a well-known character to Bitcoiners: SelfBankt, that was until he was banned from Twitter during the pandemic for 'wrongthink'... that was pre-Elon, obviously. Anyway, rather than reappearing on the bird app under a new guise, he made a home on the decentralized messaging network known as Nostr, something that many other people appear to be doing of late, myself included... and that is something that we speak about a fair bit in this episode, along with his experience of nearly losing his job as an anesthetist over the COVID jab, the importance of what he calls 'filter' events in life, and his discovery of religion and how that fits in with all the Orwellian events he's witnessed over the last few years. Enjoy the conversation.

Bitcoin, Forestry, Stoicism, Próspera, Volatility, Risk, Anti-fragility, Nostr, Identity, Land Ownership, Parallel Networks, Freedom, Citadels. Timothy Allen talks with Ben Gunn. Pseudonymous Ben is somewhat of an elusive character.. and I mean that in the best possible way. He’s a grafter, a proof-of-worker and he doesn’t sit down and do podcasts very often. I drove up the Welsh borders to visit him at his woodland estate last week to chat about a number of things. The idea was initially sparked by a conversation we had in Prague a few months prior when he told me he was starting a company in Próspera. We meander though a number of subjects during this chat, diving under the surface of Ben’s forestry project in Wales and the ethics that underpin its business model. We talk about his experiences living on Roatan in Honduras, about the pandemic, inflection points and the broader implications of global economic shifts. Ben is a former broker and he uses the language of finance to frame many of the interesting concepts we speak about, including my request for him to explain “Long Vol” to me. If you don’t know what that means, I’m not about to explain it here but its something I’ve been grappling with for a while. Thankfully Ben sorted me out this time, so many thanks for that and listen on for your own answers and much more. Enjoy the conversation.

Socialism, Communism, 1989, Gold, Bitcoin, Central Banking, Dollar Hegemony, Stablecoins, Governance, Rebellion. Timothy Allen talks with Niko Jilch. Today I have for you my last recording from Prague's 2024 Bitcoin conference.  Niko is an Austrian financial journalist who’s been covering financial markets, monetary history/policy and macro economics for over 10 years.  Interestedly for me, he’s been an advocate for gold for most of that time too and, as many of you will know, I’ve been dying to get a gold bug on this show for quite some time now. Spoiler alert: Niko is also an evangelical Bitcoiner... I'm trying my hardest here! In this long conversation we cover a number of key financial topics beginning with the historical and contemporary implications of socialism and/or communism . Niko draws many parallels between the peaceful revolutions of 1989 in Eastern Europe and the situation we find ourselves in today in Western Europe vis-à-vis the emergence of Bitcoin as digital gold and a vehicle that can be used to peacefully exit the current fiat system. Continue listening for more of Niko's takes on gold, stable coins, governance models, the federal reserve and central banking, plus his personal opinions on what might be your best practices to help you ride out the current wave of social and economic volatility that we see in the world. Enjoy the conversation.

Parenting, Liberated Children, Stoicism, Feminism, Voluntarism, Socialism, Gender Roles, Gender Wars, Liberty, Freedom. Timothy Allen talks with Pavla Karon. Pavla is an entrepreneur and freedom maximalist who co-runs her family business, but outside of that she’s all about family and personal growth. When our paths cross, I always have great chats with her and this one is no exception. Core topics discussed include raising children, especially parenting methods and bringing up liberated kids. We also go into 21st century gender roles, feminism, socialism, stoicism and the way that technology is affecting all of them. Pavla is an old school voluntarist with a wealth and depth of experience in the realm of liberty and more importantly, staying free. Enjoy the conversation.

Zaha Hadid, Architecture, Próspera, Liberland, Metaverse, Parametricism, Digital Cities, Free City Design, Modular Buildings, Free Market. Timothy Allen talks with Shajay Bhooshan Shajay runs the computation and design group at Zaha Hadid Architects and he worked on the designs for some well known Free City projects including Próspera, Praxis and Liberland's metaverse project. Zaha Hadid definitely work at the sharp end of the wedge as far as using innovative technologies goes and speaking to Shajay gave me a peek into the future of architectural design and city planning along with digital fabrication of virtual places. Spoiler alert:  Shajay predicts that one day Zaha Hadid will generate more revenue from the digital realm than from the physical. I would never have predicted that. Enjoy the conversation.

Self Sovereignty, Overlanding, Landsteading, Bitcoin Adoption, Digital Identity, BTC Map, Flag Theory, Freedom. Timothy Allen talks with Nathan Day. Nathan is a former global IT systems optimiser who managed to gain a degree of financial freedom after he sold his business a few years ago. Consequentially, this lead to him and his wife to ask themselves the question:  “If we were terminally ill and had 2 years to live, what would we do?” The answer came in the form of a custom built, fully pimped out overland & off-road truck which their family has been using as a home from home ever since. In this conversation we discuss various topics related to Bitcoin, including the installation of miners in their truck, their experiences living self-sovereign lives during the COVID-19 pandemic and the potential of decentralized networks like Nostr to revolutionize digital identity. We also explore the connections between time, entropy and Bitcoin and discuss the current state of Bitcoin adoption and infrastructure globally. If you’re a Bitcoiner you’ll probably know Nathan better as the co-founder of BTC Map, the indispensable app for finding merchants that accept bitcoin.   Nathan shares some fascinating insights into merchant adoption around the globe, arguably one of the best metrics for measuring the success of the decentralised money.

KYC, Buenos Aires, Cypherpunks, Travel, Europe, Inflation, UAE, Argentina, Vexl, Bitcoin, Dubai, Governance, Tax, Digital nomadism. Timothy Allen talks with Lea Petrášová. Lea is a cypherpunk & privacy advocate best known as the co-founder and CEO of Vexl, the peer-to-peer Bitcoin trading network . Our conversation revolves around the intersection of decentralized governance, privacy, security and economic development. We discuss the importance of preserving privacy and security in decentralized markets while incentivizing proper behavior as well as exploring the limitations of democracy as the sole form of governance and the potential for the emergence of autonomous cities. Additionally, we examine the economic situation in various countries, including Argentina, and the impact of inflation on the middle class. Finally, we touch upon the creation of free cities and economic zones as a means of disruption. Lea is an old school digital nomad with stories from all those places you’ve probably never been. Speaking with her is always a pleasure and hope you find inspiration from our discussions. Enjoy the conversation.

In a thought-provoking discussion, Allen Farrington, co-author of 'Bitcoin is Venice,' shares insights on the transformative power of Bitcoin. He explores historical comparisons between Bitcoin and the governance of Venice, emphasizing how sound money can foster stability. Allen critiques the fiat system, advocating for a transition to Bitcoin while delving into the sovereign individual thesis. He highlights the implications of this shift in today's economic landscape and the potential for individual sovereignty amidst changing governance models.
