Bitcoin Icon Roger Ver Is Starting His Own Country With No Government

Posted on by

“Roger and the rest of the Free Society team are negotiating with different, undisclosed national governments. The Free Society’s goal is to reach an agreement with a national government that will grant them sovereignty over a piece of the existing government’s land, or a nearby territory.  Free Society will operate with a Voluntarist — or Anarcho Capitalist — structure, where disputes come to resolutions through private arbitration, and services like law enforcement and protection emerge from the free market.”

Silk Road Creator Ross Ulbricht Loses His Life Sentence Appeal

Posted on by

“As Judge Katherine Forrest explained at the time, Ulbricht’s life sentence was intended also to send a message to other would-be dark web drug kingpins. Her strategy appears to have backfired, at least in the short term: Sales on Silk Road successor sites doubled in the immediate wake of Ulbricht’s sentence, as news of the trial’s outcome raised awareness of the dark web drug market.”

“We devote impressive money and manpower to the fight against illegal immigration, but meanwhile, in Big Bend, one can find a modest example of free enterprise defying borders.”

Bringing back the Somali shilling

Posted on by

“One famous answer to the riddle of fiat money is that governments use force to ensure that fiat money is valued. But this can’t be the case in Somalia: it hasn’t had a government since 1991, yet shillings continue to be accepted.”

Police Confiscate 11,000 Bitcoin Wallets; Shut Down Dark Web Site

Posted on by

“As the final legal chapters close on Ross Ulbricht’s Silk Road website held within the ‘Dark Web’, the proliferation of many, many more dark markets is making international news. Authorities have closed down one of these Dark Web havens, and have confiscated thousands of bitcoin wallets in association with its use.  Under code name ‘Operation Babylon’, Italian officials have shut down the site that hosted over 14,000 members, performing over 170,000 transactions using Tor’s web browser.  Over 200 drug dealers are claimed to have used the site for trafficking purposes, but this may be only one site of its kind out many. The website is said to have been masterminded by an Italian near Naples.”

How Life Finds a Way in the Regulatory State

Posted on by

“Instead of calling it the sharing economy, perhaps a better name for these phenomena might be the ‘gap economy’ — the economy that grows like a weed in the interstices of regulated markets and incumbent cartels. In an interventionist, mixed economy, it’s not hard to find examples of both ‘differentiation from generality’ and ‘life finds a way.’ It’s in the spaces left free from arbitrary government constraint and meddling where the ingenuity and resourcefulness of ordinary people are comparatively free to do extraordinary things.”

Welcome to the Freest Place on Earth

Posted on by

“I drove up early on this late-June Friday, toward the end of the week-long celebration, to find a huge private campground bathed in sunshine. When I got there, groggy campers were shuffling to the toilets, and there only a few signs this was not just a festival but an experiment in a different way of life. One was a custom vending machine someone had stationed on a campsite. Inside were Milk Duds, wet wipes, small plastic bags of ammo in various calibers, pregnancy tests, and Zig-Zag rolling papers. If you wanted to, you could pay with Bitcoin, the anonymous, non-government-issued cybercurrency.  PorcFest is an eight-day party for 1,500 people who don’t want the government in their faces.”

Jeffrey Tucker, Porcfest: Crowd Sourcing Liberty

Posted on by

“Held in a park beneath the mountains of New Hampshire, it has no big financial backers, no massive marketing apparatus, and no big institutional exhibitors. It has grown over the years through reputation alone. It mixes fun with learning with entrepreneurship.  It never set out to do anything but provide a venue for camping and socializing in the spirit of celebration. It is affordable, accessible to everyone, and everyone does come: people from all religions, classes, professions, outlooks. Now it has become a beautiful zone of creative freedom, an experiment in what it means to take liberty out of the idea stage into real action.”

Who Is Building the Private, Peer-to-Peer Marketplace?

Posted on by

“Online commerce today is mostly centralized; companies own websites where users visit to buy and sell things. Those companies charge fees, monitor their users’ data, and censor their transactions based on their own rules and on behalf of the government.  OpenBazaar is different. Instead of relying on a centralized third party, trades occur directly between buyers and sellers. Users install peer-to-peer software on their computers, similar to bitcoin or BitTorrent, and this connects them to other users running the same software. They transact in bitcoin. Since there’s no middleman, there are no fees, no collection of data, and no censorship of trade.”
