Free Cities Podcast

Bushido, Bitcoin, Warrior Culture, Chivalry, Feudalism, Collectivism, Artificial Intelligence, Transhumanism, Warfare. Timothy Allen talks with Aleks Svetski. Todays guest will be well known to the Bitcoiners amongst you. Aleks is an entrepreneur and the co-author of the 'Uncommunist Manifesto' with Mark Moss, also, well known for the “Wake Up Podcast’. I caught up with him at BTC Prague and we talked about a number of relatively unusual things. I’ll list a few of them here…. The Bushido of Bitcoin, chivalry, collectivism, A.I., transhumanism, stochastic parrots, augmented Samaurais.. and I'll let you decide whether or not you agree with Aleks’s sentiment that “Feudalism was peak civilisation”.

New Hampshire Free State Project, Libertarianism, Politics, Frontier Spaces, Ideological Communities, Alarmism, A.I., Regulation, PorcFest. Timothy Allen talks with Jeremy Kauffman. Jeremy is a tech entrepreneur and a well-known activist in the American Libertarian movement. He is deeply involved in the New Hampshire Free State Project, which is the focus of our conversation. He lives in New Hampshire and was the Libertarian nominee for the 2022 US Senate election there. In this episode, we discuss the Free State Project and the US political landscape in general, along with Jeremy’s perspectives on the Libertarian movement and the best strategies for carving out a pathway to freedom in the future. Additionally, we touch on topics such as A.I., frontier spaces, collapsatarianism (I love discovering new words), Jeremy’s opinion of the Free Cities movement, and I get the low down on why I should bring my family to visit PorcFest – New Hampshire’s epic Libertarian Freedom Festival.

The E.U., Freedom, Brexit, Open Borders, Bitcoin vs CBDCs, City Gentrification, Inflation, Money Printing, Tik Tok, Democratisation of Ideas, Free Markets. Timothy Allen talks with Adam Bartha. Today I’m releasing a conversation that I recorded just over 6 months ago. It's worth noting that deciding which show to air each week is by no means an exact science and this episode has been near the top of my list for many weeks but it just kept getting bumped aside by interviews that had content that was more time sensitive. At any one time I have a pool of episodes to choose from since we record all our podcasts in person in batches at different events and gatherings that I attend. So, as you are listening to this, bear in mind that the conversation was recorded in April. Nevertheless, there are still plenty of timeless insights and lots of up to date information plus some interesting predictions about the economy that turned out to be quite prophetic. My guest is Adam Bartha who is the director at Epicenter, The European Policy Information Center which is part if the Institute of Economic Affairs. As a gentleman who roams the political hallways of Brussels, I had a lot of questions for Adam about the E.U. and international politics in general which is something that both fascinates and infuriates me. Alongside that we discuss topics such as freedom, social media, Brexit, open borders, city gentrification, inflation and the impending battle between Bitcoin and CBDCs. Enjoy the conversation.

Timothy Allen talks with Titus Gebel. Today we have Titus Gebel back on the show. This time we’re talking about the update to his classic book ‘Free Private Cities: Making Governments Compete for You’. What’s new? What’s gone and what lessons have we learnt since the last edition was published just over 5 years ago. Of particular interest to me were questions that I had about the preferred architecture and design of Free Private Cities along with culture, ethics and a run down of the main innovations that have emerged since the last book. We end by discussing the COVID pandemic and how Titus predicts that a Free Private City operator would respond to something similar in the future. If you’re interested in the other 2 podcasts I’ve done with Titus, Try episode 036 for a deep dive into medieval city states and episode 034 for a broader discussion about the movement in general.

Timothy Allen talks with Natalie Danelishen. This week on the podcast I’ve got another episode for you from Liberty In Our Lifetime and it's a light hearted chat I had with one of the newest additions to the Free Cities Foundation's team, Natalie Danelishen. I need to confess something before you listen. When we originally arranged to record this conversation a few weeks ago, the only free slot Natalie had in her busy conference schedule was the 2 hour window immediately after she arrived in Prague, so she ended up coming directly to my studio from the airport and from, what had turned out to be a rather long and sleepless 28 hour journey from the USA. Between the bouts of propping her eyes open with matchsticks, we did eventually manage to home in on a number of topics in our chat. From Ron Paul, the Mises Institute and her mission to end the Fed, to homeschooling, inflation and how to win on Elon’s new Twitter platform when, like her you’re trying to spread ideas of freedom and liberty. It was lucky for me that Natalie’s such a good sport. If truth be told, most other people I know wouldn’t have been so polite on that little sleep, so thanks for coming on and I look forward to part two some time in the not to distant future. Lastly, just to remind you all that the Free Cities Foundation has published three new books in the last few weeks. There’s an updated version of Titus Gebel’s book Free Private Cities that has six new chapters including updates and lessons learnt from the movement so far. There is also Alex Voss’s new book Strategies for Liberty: Free Cities and Bitcoin and finally, Calvin Dukes's Entrepreneurial Communitites - An alternative to the State. All of these books are a fantastic read and can be find on our website and Amazon.⁠ Enjoy the conversation.

Timothy Allen talks with Mason Leschyna. Today I have the first episode recorded at 'Liberty in Our Lifetime' 2024. I had a number of conversations on my bucket list for the conference and one of those was speaking to somebody about Seasteading, something that I was fortunate enough to do on two separate occasions. One of those was with Joe Quirk, the President of the Seasteading Institute and the other was with today's guest Mason Leschyna, the brains behind Atlas Island, a project planning to create sovereign cities at sea. Now, I feel that I should pre-empt this show with a small plea to please forgive me for thinking out loud a fair bit on this episode. Those of you that follow the pod will know that my preferred style of investigation is very much to find out about things in real life from real people, something that I believe allows you the listener to join me as I work this stuff out in real time. So, if you’re a hardened Seasteader then there may not be anything new for you here, but if, like me you had a very specific set of beliefs about the viability of Free Cities in the ocean then I invite you to join me as I get me mind well and truly educated. Mason is a great ambassador for both Seasteading and the Free Cities movement as a whole and I can guarantee you that this is the first conversation of many as this project evolves in the coming months and years. Enjoy the conversation. LIBERTY IN OUR LIFETIME CONFERENCE ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://libertyinourlifetime.org/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ TIMESTAMPS [0:30] Introduction. [5:44] What is Atlas Island?

Timothy Allen talks with Nik Oraevsky. Today I have a fascinating show for you about monetary and personal sovereignty with Bitcoin Reserve CEO, Nik Oraevsky. Nik wasn’t always a Bitcoin OG but his background in traditional finance has helped him to navigate the perilous regulatory environment surrounding the foundation and running of a Bitcoin company. As a result he has excellent insights into the emerging world of cryptocurrency and freedom tech and indeed how to best isolate yourself from the barriers to freedom that he sees coming. In this conversation we discuss, Bitcoin regulation, the war on cash, the impending bifurcated economy, carbon scores and CBDCs, universal basic income, A.I., prepping, digital nomadism, global citizenship, emerging governance models… and I get to ask an expert in the field: ”Is Bitcoin necessary for a Free City to thrive?" Spoiler alert: Nik’s answer might not be what you expect. Enjoy the conversation.

Timothy Allen talks with Daniel Prince. Todays guest on the show is the long time Bitcoiner and friend of the Free Cities Foundation Daniel Prince. Daniel is the host of the Once Bitten Podcast which is one of the biggest and best known in the Bitcoin space. He is also going to be the MC at our Free Cities conference this year so I thought it would be a good idea to drop an episode in which I got to pick his brains for a couple of hours before you all get to meet him in person in Prague next week. In this episode we dive down a number of rabbit holes, but most notably we discuss the education system, vitamins, niacin, homeschooling, unschooling, nutrition and since we are both family men, there’s also a fair bit of banter on the subject of bringing up well adjusted kids and travelling with your family.

Timothy Allen talks with Patrick Lamson Hall and Nuria Forques. Patrick and Nuria are a husband-and-wife team whose firm, 'Fitted Projects,' was commissioned to design the Honduran ZEDE community of Ciudad Morazán, the second ZEDE established in Honduras after Próspera. While Próspera primarily focused on technological innovation and connecting Honduras with international business, Morazán was designed as more of a 'blue-collar ZEDE,' targeting working-class and middle-class residents primarily from Honduras. Patrick and Nuria have much to share about the design, implementation, and future of Free City projects. It was phenomenal to sit down with two individuals who possess such in-depth, hands-on experience in manifesting these innovative ideas in real life. This conversation was recorded during the 'New Cities & Network States' weekend at Zuzalu, the so-called pop-up city gathering in Montenegro. With many of the talks and presentations fresh in our minds, we ended up dissecting various projects within the Free Cities ecosystem and discussed how the movement as a whole might best progress in the coming years.

Timothy Allen talks with Josh & Zach Harvey. Today's show is a conversation I had in Portugal with a couple of Bitcoin OGs by the names of Josh and Zack Harvey. The two brothers were responsible for creating the first ever prototype bitcoin ATM way back in 2013, an endeavour that has given rise to their market leading company Lamassu, currently supplying Bitcoin ATMs all over the globe. More recently they have embarked on a inspiring regenerative agriculture project in their adoptive country of Portugal and this conversation helps to reveal some of their motivations and inspirations for not only moving across the world to a foreign country but also for immersing themselves in an experimental farming project. Something that is made all the more unusual by the fact that neither have any previous experience in that field at all. There’s plenty of advice here if you are thinking about embarking on a food sovereignty project of your own or moving to Portugal which as you will hear has many benefits for those looking to move countries in search of a better life. Enjoy the conversation.
