  • 068 - Tomer Kantor: El Salvador, Bitcoin & The IMF

    Bitcoin, El Salvador, Nayib Bukele, Education, Dollarization, China, Singapore, IMF, Hope, Bond to Unbind.

    Timothy Allen talks with Tomer Kantor.

    I’ve got my final Bitcoin film festival despatch for you today. I’m talking with the director of the film “Bond to Unbind. Bitcoin & El Salvador".

    Tomer’s film is a deep dive into the fascinating story of contemporary El Salvador. Spearheaded by its phenomenally popular president Nayib Bukele, El Salvador took the bold approach of not only passing the world’s first ever Bitcoin legal tender bill in 2021, but also of actively rallying against El Salvador's traditional relationship with the IMF, including ignoring their pleas to rescind the Bitcoin law.

    In the words of Fortune magazine:

    “The International Monetary Fund’s board urged El Salvador to strip Bitcoin of its status as legal currency due to its large risks, highlighting a major obstacle for the nation’s efforts to get a loan from the institution.”

    Seemingly unperturbed by the IMF's passive aggressive threats, El Salvador’s so-called Volcano bonds, which are the governments Bitcoin-backed bonds also got regulatory approval at the end of 2023.

    We discuss all this and more in the pod as well as a talking about both of our personal experiences visiting the country since the law was passed.

    Enjoy the conversation.

      Bitcoin, Art, Memes, Fourth Turning, Satoshi Skull, Money, Gold, BTC Derivatives, Proof of Work, Religion, Spirituality, Venezuela, Hyperinflation, Human B.


      Timothy Allen talks with Aaron Mucke & Jan

      Aaron Mucke is a film director and Jan is one of the protagonists from his Bitcoin film “Human B” which was the reason for us all coming together for this podcast.

      In the conversation we take a quick dive down the rabbit hole to see what Aaron and Jan discovered during the production of 'Human B'.

      A few of the major questions that come up in our discussion are:

      Does art actually change anything? What is money? Will Bitcoin end up suffering the same fate as gold? and my personal favourite… Is Bitcoin a new religion?

      Libertarianism, Ciudad Morazán, Honduras, ZEDEs, Legal Battles, Passion Projects, Morazán's Urban Plan, Blue-Collar Free City, Special Economic Zones.

      Timothy Allen talks with Massimo Mazzone.

      On today's show I’m talking with somebody who I consider to be one of the key individuals in the Free Cities Movement. He is the incredibly successful entrepreneur who is both the brains and the finance behind Ciudad Morazán, Honduras’s so called blue-collar Free City.

      Massimo is a life-long Libertarian who saw an opportunity to create a unique passion project when the Honduran government passed its ZEDE legislation back in 2013. The ongoing result is Morazán, one of the world’s flagship Free City projects, but one that you probably know the least about since Massimo is not in the business of either self-promotion or promoting Morazán to potential investors.

      Massimo’s dreams for Ciudad Morazán are big as you will hear in the conversation and I hope that you will also pick up on the genuine enthusiasm he has for both Honduras and its people. I came away from the discussion feeling very optimistic, even after hearing about Morazán's current legal battles which are somewhat stifling the project in the short term.

      Enjoy the conversation.

      Bitcoin, Satoshi Nakamoto, Film, ARTE, Blockchains, Authoritarianism, CBDCs, Social Credit Scores, Cypherpunks, Privacy, Freedom, The Satoshi Mystery.

      Timothy Allen talks with Rémi Forte.

      Rémi is a film director who created what I would call one of the most influential Bitcoin films ever created. 'The Satoshi Mystery' has been viewed officially more than 8 million times. It's a 6 part film series which, in my opinion explains the 'why?' of bitcoin incredibly well using interviews and documentary footage and a narrative revealed by an animated Satoshi Nakamoto character, the pseudonymous creator of Bitcoin.

      I spoke with Remi at the Bitcoin Film Festival in Poland and we go into the importance of the cypherpunk origins of Bitcoin and why it is one of the most significant tools for freedom in these current times of burgeoning states, oppressive central bank digital currencies and social credit scores.

      Enjoy the conversation.

      Moving to Montenegro, Montelibero Community, Libertarianism, Permaculture, Digital Nomadism, Lockdowns, Russia.

      Timothy Allen talks with Tatiana Bugrova.

      Tatiana is an active member of the Montelibero community who has bought a plot of land at 'MTL City', their fledging libertarian community site.

      I caught up with her at the MTL clubhouse in Bar, Montenegro and we discussed her motivations for moving to Montenegro along with her hopes and expectations for the project.

      If living in a libertarian community in Montenegro strikes a chord with you then I will point you to two other episodes from our Montelibero series.

      Firstly, Episode 029 with Jose Birkin is a two hour deep dive into the community as a whole including an overview of their blockchain token system used for land ownership and community decision making.

      Secondly, there is Episode 042 with Kosta & Albina, a digitally nomadic couple who have bought one of the newly built apartments in Montelibero. In a similar vein to this conversation with Tatiana, we discuss living nomadically and the draw to settle in a community of likeminded people.

      Enjoy the conversation.
