Próspera, Digital Nomads, Infinita, Biotech, Bitcoin, Community Outreach, Crawfish Rock, Regulatory Innovation, Public Relations, Misinformation, Honduras
Timothy Allen speaks with Niklas Anzinger.
Niklas, a digital nomad turned entrepreneur and community builder in Próspera speaks about navigating public relations and skepticism of the Free City project, particularly in response to criticisms by nomad influencer Gonçalo Hall (Episode 130 of this podcast).
Niklas shares his journey to Próspera through his ventures, Infinita VC and Infinita City and he addresses misconceptions about Próspera, concerns about its effect on the nearby Crawfish Rock community, and the political challenges related to Honduras’ reputation. He highlights efforts to build trust through community engagement, correcting misinformation, and attracting investment, while positioning Infinita as a “layer two” business helping Próspera scale.
Despite backing from figures like Brian Armstrong and Balaji Srinivasan, Niklas emphasizes the long-term effort needed to build a sustainable and appealing community.

July 11, 2025138 - Mailyn Salabarria: Government Red Flags - Lessons From a Cuban Refugee
Communism, Cuba, Government Overreach, Freedom, Political Indoctrination, Cuban Refugees, Education System, Individual Rights, Progressive Ideologies, Immigration, Defunding Government.
Timothy Allen speaks with Mailyn Salabarria.
In this episode, Mailyn shares her powerful story of growing up under communist rule in Cuba and how it shaped her deep awareness of government overreach and loss of individual freedoms. Drawing parallels between her past and current trends in the U.S., she discusses the rise of progressive ideologies in the education system, the erosion of parental rights, and the dangers of political indoctrination. Mailyn recounts her emotional journey to the U.S. as a refugee and offers a sobering warning about the slow creep of tyranny through bloated bureaucracy and unchecked power. She urges people to reclaim personal responsibility, educate the next generation on the value of freedom, and explore ways to reduce dependence on the state.
Enjoy the conversation.

July 04, 2025137 - Ben Gunn: Three Rules For Life - Part 2
Bitcoin, Societal Breakdown, Great Reset, Morality, NOSTR, Boomers, Taxation, Meaning of Life, Accountability, Proof of Work.
Timothy Allen speaks with Ben Gunn.
In the second part of this two part conversation we explore the evolving role of Bitcoin as both a store of value and a medium of exchange, analyzing its limitations due to taxation, regulation, and systemic incentives, while also diving into broader themes of economic decline, intergenerational tension, and political dysfunction.
We also discuss the distortion of Bitcoin usage across class lines, drawing attention to the asymmetry in who can afford to use Bitcoin effectively. Ben critiques government overreach, anticipating societal collapse or reset.
Emphasizing the importance of authenticity, personal mission, and proof of work, the conversation shifts to how individuals can navigate chaos by taking responsibility for their actions, embracing vulnerability & volatility, and aligning their values with meaningful action in both the physical and digital realms.
Enjoy the conversation.

July 04, 2025 BONUS 001 - Gigi: Proof of Work - Part 1
Hello and welcome to this BONUS episode of the Free Cities Podcast.
These episodes are only available to our subscribers on Fountain.fm, and I'll be dropping them during the weeks when the regular release episode is one that subscribers have already had early access to.
.
If you're not on Fountain, you can access the episode here:
https://fountain.fm/episode/dC5YtEIodvAuYj0gYsTp
.
A little background behind the episode: this is part one of two separate conversations I had with the Bitcoin OG Gigi, which—sadly, until now—have never actually been heard by anyone other than him and me. Back in the summer of 2021, I was working on a personal film project with the Australian filmmaker Richard James. On my part, this involved conducting a series of interviews with prominent Bitcoiners discussing the subject of proof of work, which was also to be the name of the film. Back then, as now, I believed that understanding proof of work was key to greater acceptance of Bitcoin in the mainstream world, particularly with regard to energy consumption, which was certainly a hot topic at the time. How things have changed.
Anyway, understanding proof of work is probably one of the harder aspects of Bitcoin to wrap your head around. And since I consider Gigi to be one of the key people on this subject, I was incredibly grateful to end up recording for nearly four hours with him. The conversation ventures into many different parts of the Bitcoin rabbit hole, including (in part two) some fascinating discussion about the spiritual aspects of Bitcoin’s emergence and Gigi’s personal story of discovery and transformation, which is just incredible.
Now, bear in mind: this conversation often falls into a question-and-answer format, which isn’t my preferred way of talking (as you probably know from listening to the podcast), though it works well for film interviews. Speaking over the internet brought its own problems, too. You'll hear Gigi’s connection cut out no less than four times during the discussion. I tried to edit the interruptions out, but often it’s better to just leave them in to preserve the true flow of the conversation.
Anyway, long story short: this film project fell foul of the so-called pandemic, which was still (kind of) raging in the background at the time of recording. I ended up closing my office and going abroad with my family to escape the draconian measures the UK was experiencing at the time. As a result, this interview—plus many more with the likes of Nic Carter, Brandon Quittem, Max Hillebrand, Tomer Strolight, Knut Svanholm, Harry Sudock (to name just a few)—have all sat idle on a hard drive for the last four years.
Now, I hate seeing things go to waste, so I figured this might be the perfect place to finally publish these conversations. You’ll discover tons of signal here, of course, but what I found especially fascinating was observing just how much things have changed since these discussions back in 2021. And I don’t mean just my own understanding of the subjects discussed (I remember really struggling with the concept of proof of work), but also the massive changes we’ve seen in the adoption and public image of Bitcoin itself.
Anyway, here’s the conversation. I would class Gigi as—well, in my case at least—the most respected Bitcoiner out there. He’s been at the sharp end of the Bitcoin wedge for a very long time, and I think these two interviews represent an excellent snapshot of that particular moment in Bitcoin’s history. Plus, it’s Gigi, so obviously, there’s a ton of alpha too.
Anyway, enjoy the conversation, and see you on the next one.

June 27, 2025136 - Ben Gunn: Three Rules For Life - Part 1
Privacy, Anonymity, NOSTR, Bitcoin, Digital Identity, Governance, Freedom, Technology.
Timothy Allen speaks with Ben Gunn.
In part 1 of this conversation, pseudonymous Ben explores the evolving landscape of privacy, anonymity, and digital identity in a surveillance-driven world. He distinguishes privacy from secrecy, emphasizes the importance of reputation in small communities, and examines the challenges posed by increasingly pervasive monitoring technologies. Central to the conversation is NOSTR—and a decentralized identity and access control system designed to balance privacy, trust, and accountability.
The discussion also touches on broader themes of governance, digital freedom, and the potential for tools like Bitcoin and NOSTR to foster a more open, responsible, and decentralized future.
Enjoy the conversation.

Homesteading, Free State Project, Micro Schools, Education Reform, School Budgets, Off-Grid Living, Homeschooling, Bitcoin, Local Government, Critical Thinking.
Timothy Allen speaks with Jody Underwood
A former school board member and Free State Project board member, Jody discusses her off-grid lifestyle in New Hampshire, where she pursues self-sufficiency and runs an education non-profit. Drawn by the Free State Project, she moved with friends to embrace off-grid living, raising animals and growing food.
Jody shares insights into local education reform, including a controversial vote to drastically cut the school budget—later overturned—that sparked backlash. She critiques the traditional education system and advocates for alternatives like micro schools and homeschool co-ops, reflecting a broader shift toward personalized, parent-driven education.
