December 20, 2024109 - Alex Ugorji: Life in a Honduran Free City Under Threat
Honduras, Ciudad Morazán, ZEDE Law, Repeal, Libertarianism, Economic Freedom, Governance, Legal Challenges, Community Development, Incentives, Political Dynamics, Próspera.
Timothy Allen talks with Alex Ugorji.
Alex is one of the original residents of Ciudad Morazán, the so called 'blue collar Free City' and one of the lesser known Honduran ZEDEs. In fact, as far as I can tell, he is the third-longest-standing resident of a modern Free City in history, so his opinion carries weight.
He shares his journey from the Northern Mariana Islands in the northwestern Pacific Ocean to Honduras, exploring the potential of crypto-friendly environments and the complexities of navigating financial regulations. Alex sheds light on the current legal uncertainties surrounding the ZEDE regime in Honduras, particularly in the wake of the supreme court's controversial decision to retroactively repeal the ZEDE law, and discusses its implications for investors and residents.
The conversation also delves into the broader political landscape of Central America, examining the rise of libertarian figures and the competitive dynamics shaping policy decisions in the region.
Morazán often flies under the radar of journalists and commentators reporting on ZEDEs in Honduras. More often than not, this is because it doesn’t conform to the negative stereotypes frequently perpetuated by legacy media. If you’re interested in learning more, check out their website as well as my interview with Ciudad Morazán’s founder, Massimo Mazzone.
Enjoy the conversation.

November 22, 2024 105 - Efrat Fenigson: Unmasking Agenda 2030
Agenda 2030, Agenda 2050, Agenda 21, Stablecoins, Climate Change, Control, Smart Cities, 15 Minute Cities, Surveillance, Bitcoin, Spiritual Awareness, Fear, Compliance, Resistance.
Timothy Allen talks with Efrat Fenigson.
This conversation explores the rise of centralised control in a digital age with particular reference to Agenda 2030.
Efrat sees Agenda 2030 as a plan to control many facets of human life, from finances and movement to information and even food choices. She argues that while the agenda is presented as a benevolent path toward sustainability, it relies heavily on manipulating people through fear and encouraging compliance. Efrat is particularly concerned about the way climate change is being used to justify policies that could erode personal liberties.
Efrat believes it’s impossible to save everyone, arguing that awakening to these realities is ultimately a personal choice. She emphasises the importance of individual responsibility, urging listeners to educate themselves, become financially independent through tools like Bitcoin, and seek out communities that align with their values. She also highlights the spiritual dimension of this struggle, suggesting that true freedom requires not just external changes but also inner work and a deeper understanding of one’s place in the world.
Enjoy the conversation.

Freedom, Economics, Austrian Economics, Free Cities, State Control, Regulation, Agorism, Algorithms, Bitcoin, Decentralization, Internet Frontier, Globalization, Governance.
Timothy Allen talks with Per Bylund.
This episode delves into the philosophical and practical aspects of freedom, exploring how the internet, as a modern frontier, plays a pivotal role in shaping our current socio-political landscape. Per Bylund, an economist known for his work on entrepreneurship and the market process, shares insights into the evolution of the state and the natural inclination towards control, questioning whether true freedom is achievable in a world increasingly dominated by centralized governance.
We discuss the challenges and opportunities presented by decentralization, the potential of free Cities as hubs of innovation, and the role of agorism and Bitcoin in circumventing state control. The conversation also touches on the nature of regulation and the contrasting perspectives on free markets and state intervention.

November 08, 2024103 - Natalie Danelishen: Free Speech, Twitter & US Politics
Elon Musk, Twitter, X, Free Speech, Censorship, Trump, US Election, Liberty, End The Fed, Nostr, Federal Reserve, Bitcoin, Libertarianism.
Timothy Allen talks with Natalie Danelishen.
It is election week in the US, so I thought we should get some feedback from a local this week.
Natalie is well-embedded in the political quagmire as a well-followed Twitter influencer, tweeting about liberty and freedom. One of Elon's favourite libertarians, she even got Javier Milei to retweet a photo from the conference this year. Well done, Nat!
We recorded this conversation a few days before the election, so we didn't know the result. However, as you'll hear, Natalie was pretty confident that Trump would win through.
This is a very informal chat touching on money, politics, social media, and freedom in general.
Enjoy the conversation.

November 01, 2024102 - Sam Roberts: Bitcoin, Pensions & The Financial Renaissance
Bitcoin, Pensions, Institutional Investment, Austrian Economics, 2008 Financial Crisis, Hyperinflation Risk, Energy Consumption, ESG Considerations, Pension Schemes, Financial Literacy, Financial Planning.
Timothy Allen talks with Sam Roberts.
Sam is a qualified actuary and director at Cartwright, a UK-based pensions and investment advisory firm that serves institutional clients such as corporate pension schemes, charities, and corporate treasuries.
Under the direction of Sam, Cartwright has been the first UK firm to make the bold move of advising their clients to allocate bitcoin to their portfolios, part of the so called 'arrival of institutions' into this new financial realm.
In this episode, we delve into Bitcoin's emerging role in the institutional investment landscape, particularly within pension funds. Sam shares his journey from the 2008 financial crisis to viewing Bitcoin as a hedge against systemic risks and discusses the challenges of integrating Bitcoin into the traditionally slow-moving pensions industry.
We also discuss the potential of Bitcoin as a tool for economic resilience, its environmental impact, and its role in a future financial system that could lead to a new economic renaissance.
Enjoy the conversation.

October 25, 2024 101 - Ben Arc: Nostr, Anarchy & Algorithms
Nostr, Social Media, Algorithms, Censorship, Freedom of Speech, Cryptography, Anarchism, Hutting, Próspera, Honduras, Fountain App, Amethyst.
Timothy Allen talks with Ben Arc.
You may have noticed recently that I’ve been talking a fair bit about Nostr on this podcast. We’re even reading out Nostr messages at the beginning of each episode. Well, it’s time to take a deeper dive, but before we do, I want to give my best 101 intro to start you off.
This is important. As far as I can tell, Nostr is not just another fly-by-night social media platform that will never get enough onboarders to change the world. Yes, it’s true that most people are using the protocol for social media right now, but that misses the point of this incredible new technology.
Nostr (Notes and Other Stuff Transmitted by Relays) is a decentralized, censorship-resistant protocol for creating and sharing content.
It uses no central servers or authorities.
As an open protocol, anyone can use, implement, and build upon it without requiring permission.
In the same way Bitcoin works, users identify themselves with cryptographic public-private key pairs and send messages through a network of relays. This makes censorship on the platform incredibly difficult since users can connect to whichever relays they choose. So, if a relay is censoring content, you just switch to another that isn’t.
Social media apps are just the start, as you’ll hear in this episode. As we speak, there is a massive and growing community of people building out a new censorship-resistant version of the internet on top of Nostr.
On Nostr, you own your own identity and data—or what people refer to as your social graph—and you can take it to whichever app the sits on the protocol that you like.
Ben Arc is the founder of LNbits and a developer who was involved in Nostr from its early beginnings.
Enjoy the conversation.
