In this thought-provoking episode of the Free Thought Project podcast, hosts Jason and Matt sit down with Jeremy Kauffman, an American entrepreneur and fervent political activist known for his pioneering work in blockchain technology with the creation of LBRY, a decentralized file-sharing platform. Kauffman, also a notable figure in the Libertarian Party and a former U.S. Senate candidate, shares his insights on the challenges of attempting systemic change from the federal level.

Throughout the episode, we delve into the successes of the Free State Project in New Hampshire, highlighting its role in fostering local change by uniting libertarians to influence local governance positively. Jeremy discusses his philosophy of localism as a more effective strategy for enacting freedom-oriented policies.

Additionally, we explore the controversy surrounding Jeremy, particularly how his provocative statements have been misconstrued in the media, as recently noted in a critical Mother Jones article. Despite these challenges, the conversation remains optimistic, focusing on the tangible successes of libertarian strategies at the local level and the potential for future victories in the fight for freedom. Join us for a dynamic discussion on the power of local activism and the enduring quest for liberty. (Length: 1:09:16)
