Building Freedom with John McAfee

Most ppl will know John from the antivirus company he founded “McAfee Associates, Inc”, but more recently for his involvement in cryptocurrencies. His no-bullshit approach to speaking truth about the government’s desire to control us and how regulations and taxation are preventing a truly free society.

Mr. McAfee and I discuss his early entrepreneurial experiences, compare them to formal education and why blockchain and cryptocurrencies helps create freedom by breaking the chains of fiat money.

Bitcoin and Austrian Economics go hand in hand with living a free life.

I recently chatted with Naomi Brockwell about all things crypto, money, banking, Austrian economics, bailouts, roads, Ron Paul and living locally in New Hampshire (the Live Free or Die state).

The nerdiness of this episode will not disappoint you. Naomi can talk the talk and walk the walk, which I appreciate. Trust me, this episode is both informative and entertaining.

Show Notes:

0:00:00 Ashe Oro: You are listening to the Liberty Entrepreneurs podcast, episode 88, Drugs, Love and Anarchy. Let's go.

0:19:00 Ashe Oro: Hey, what's up and welcome back all my fellow liberty entrepreneurs around the world. I'm Ashe Oro and I'm here with one of the best people in the world, and I say that, he didn't pay me to say that, but this is one of my good friends, and someone that I respect so much, and it's such a pleasure to have him on the show. Sterlin Lujan. Hey, brother.

0:37:00 Sterlin Lujan: Hey, Ashe, thanks for having me, man, and the feeling's 100% mutual.

0:42:00 Ashe Oro: I appreciate that.

0:42:00 Sterlin Lujan: Lots of love.

0:44:00 Ashe Oro: Yeah, so Sterlin is currently the communications ambassador for bitcoin.com, and many of you may know him as the psychologic anarchist, and we'll get into what that means soon. You can find him at sterlinlujan.com. So definitely go check him out.

1:04:00 Ashe Oro: Sterlin, if you don't mind, give us just a quick background of who you are and what you stand for.

1:08:00 Sterlin Lujan: Sure. Are you sure you want it to be quick, Ashe?

1:16:00 Sterlin Lujan: Well, most people know that I'm an anarchist. If they've ever checked out my material, or looked up my name on Google, you'll find me pretty quickly.

1:26:00 Sterlin Lujan: But I became an anarchist through a certain set of experiences rather than reading a bunch of books or just focusing on the logic of what it means to be an anarchist. That's the traditional route that most people take.

1:42:00 Sterlin Lujan: Back in 2009, roughly 2009, I was ... actually, let's go back just a little bit further, there's something I want to touch on.

1:51:00 Sterlin Lujan: So, around 2006, 2007, I was an unthinking, slobbering zombie who was drooling his way through life. All I did was play video games all the time. I was a college dropout. I was working on a degree at a technical college for graphic design and graphic arts. But I didn't finish that degree. I quit because I was more interested in playing video games and just living an unproductive life, not doing anything. I didn't have any drive or ambition or passion about anything whatsoever.

2:28:00 Sterlin Lujan: Then in roughly, yeah it was about 2007, I think, maybe it was 2006, I was about 26 or 27 years old. And a good friend of mine invited me over to his house and told me that I needed to try something. So I went over to my buddy's house, and he said, "Here, take this pill. It's going to make you really happy." Well, that was an understatement. The pill that he gave me was MDMA, or methylenedioxy-methamphetamine, which is the street name, or that's the pharmaceutical name for ecstasy, which now a lot of the kids are calling molly.

3:07:00 Ashe Oro: Right, MDMA.

3:08:00 Sterlin Lujan: But sometimes molly can be adulterated and be other things, but that's another story. So I took MDMA and this was actual MDMA, and I had an epiphany where I had finally realized that I could do so much more with my life. I realized that I was a lot more intelligent than I had previously thought. And I also had the insight that I was going by what I was told as I was growing up, I was in remedial mathematics classes. I wasn't really very intelligent according to the public education system.

Ashe Oro: Hey what's up everyone? Welcome back to the Liberty Entrepreneurs podcast I'm your host Ashe Oro and I've got David Rodriguez on the show today. He is the founding principal of Valor Academy. It's a private school that empowers students to pursue their own interests and passions utilizing the apprenticeship model, and he's also a publisher of the Underground History of American Education, Volume One by the world renowned school teacher from New York John Taylor Gatto, and he's got another book on the way. So, David welcome to Liberty Entrepreneurs.

David Rodriguez: Ashe, great to be with you. I'm very excited to have this conversation with you man. I'm looking forward to it.

Ashe Oro: Yeah for sure. And I just want to add, I just happened to wear this pineapple shirt today and David said that he had a pineapple shirt so apparently it is pineapple day.

David Rodriguez: Yes. He had it on and he was like, when he said he put it on I said, "Alright let's do it." So we'll have a good pineapple conversation, lighten up the conversation a little bit.

Ashe Oro: Today we're going to be talking about children, and those with younger years than us David. People who are still for whatever reasons forced through schooling to follow someone else's passion rather than their own passions. Fill in the gaps here David. Who are you? What are you passionate about? And how are you building freedom?

0:00 Ashe Oro: You're listening to the Liberty Entrepreneurs Podcast, episode 86, What is the Free State Project? Let's go.

0:19 Ashe Oro: Hey, so what's up, everyone? Welcome to the Liberty Entrepreneurs Podcast. I've got on the show today a very interesting guy who I've known for a couple years, and he's actually a client of Liberty Virtual Assistants. We got Rodger Paxton. He is on the board of the Free State Project in New Hampshire, which is the reason that I brought him on, but he's also the producer of PorcFest. If my libertarian audience knows what PorcFest is, this is one of the key guys that creates PorcFest for you, and he's the founder and host of The LAVA Flow Podcast, which is part of the Pax Libertas Productions Network. Rodger, welcome to Liberty Entrepreneurs.

0:58 Rodger Paxton: Thanks for having me, Ashe. It's great to connect.

1:00 Ashe Oro: Yeah. Rodger, let's just get started here. What is the Free State Project, and how did you hear about it?

1:07 Rodger Paxton: The Free State Project was started, oh, goodness, about 15 years ago, I guess, now as a ... It was a thesis that Jason Sorens was doing for one of his degrees and was basically an idea of bringing a bunch of libertarians, 20,000, to one small state so they could centralize their activism, their voting, whatever libertarians can do to make that state the freest state in the country, possibly, and exert the maximum effort that they could to make that happen.

1:38 Rodger Paxton: It started, like I said, about 15 years ago. They looked at 10 different states. New Hampshire won the vote, and so then people started moving here almost immediately 10 or 12 years ago, matter of fact, I know several people who have been here for 10 years. I first found out about it in 2010 I believe it was, at the National Libertarian Party Convention. They had a booth there, of all things, and my wife and I were talking to the folks, and I'm for Arkansas. I'm from the deep South.

2:08 Ashe Oro: Right.

2:08 Rodger Paxton: I'm from hot, humid. That's what I love, right? I thought, "There's no way I'm ever going to move to New Hampshire. It snows, and it's cold." I didn't think about it for years, and then after being the chairman of the Libertarian Party for a while and banging my head against that wall, I realized, I've got to do something different. Something has to change.

2:26 Ashe Oro: Yes.

2:27 Rodger Paxton: We started looking at it again. Three years ago, actually, next week will be our three-year anniversary we moved up here, and I've loved being here. It's been amazing journey.

2:36 Ashe Oro: I believe you're a Ron Paul as well, likewise. I remember him saying back in the 2008 election cycle this concept of vote with your feet. What does that mean, and how does the Free State Project tie into that?

Ashe Oro: Hey, what's up everyone? Welcome back to the Liberty Entrepreneurs podcast. I'm your host, Ashe Oro, and today on the show, we've got Nathan James. You probably don't know who that is, but he's also known as N.S. James. He's the founder of Scatter, which manages signatures, identity, reputation, and your security on blockchains, including Ethereum; EOS, my favorite; recently, Tron; and possibly Bitcoin in the future.

Ashe Oro: Nathan, thanks for joining us.

Nathan James: Thank you for having me.

Ashe Oro: Everyone in the EOS community knows who you are, but just in case they've been living under a rock for the past six months or so, who are you and how did you find the whole blockchain thing?

Nathan James: Well, I'm Nathan James. That's who I am, right?

Ashe Oro: Or are you N. S. James?

Nathan James: Or am I N. S. James? I don't even know anymore. [crosstalk 00:00:53] handles.

Ashe Oro: The programmer formerly known as.

Nathan James: Yes, the programmer formerly known as Nathan. I'm just a programmer who likes the idea of blockchain, loves the idea of blockchain. You know, there's a thing in blockchain where, once you get it into your head, you just can't sleep anymore. All you do is dream is about blockchain and I think that it's really true. It is. I haven't slept since EOS was launched, but when I do sleep, I sleep of blockchain.

Ashe Oro: I was going to say, "In like five years."

Nathan James: Yeah, in like five years. Exactly.

Ashe Oro: So what is Scatter? In your own words, what is it?

Nathan James: A lot of people seem to focus on its single sign-on aspect, but that's the smallest part of it. Scatter is a multi-blockchain key protector. It allows you to sign things on the blockchain without ever exposing your key to the thing that you're signing it on, so applications, desktops, games, whatever. It helps you protect yourself. That's its first and foremost goal.

Nathan James: Now, we're starting to also add identity on top of that. We're starting to add reputation on top of that. Single sign-on is a byproduct of the identity and reputation. You can log into applications locally without having to give up your information to Facebook, Google, Twitter, whatever.

Ashe Oro: I know that this started and you're big in the EOS community, but why did you also decide to support these other chains like Ethereum, Tron, and I think possibly, Bitcoin?

Nathan James: It goes back to what we're fighting, right? We're not fighting Ethereum as EOSers. We're not fighting Tron as Ethereumers. We're fighting banks, we're fighting governments. It's hard to say that on camera, right? We're fighting FICO scores. We're trying to fight centralized components. Fighting between us, between other blockchains, isn't constructive. It's not helpful.

Nathan James: I've taken a very agnostic approach with Scatter and we're just going to add all the blockchains. It will allow us to do amazing things in the future.

Ashe Oro: And why did you start developing Scatter on EOS and for that community specifically?

The user experience in crypto stinks. Metal Pay is building consumer apps that you actually want to use.

0:00:00 Ashe Oro: Hey what's up, Liberty Nation? Welcome back to Liberty Entrepreneurs podcast. I'm your host, Ashe Oro, and today, we've got Marshall Hayner. He is the CEO and founder of Metal, which is basically like a crypto Venmo. They're a payments company that bridges the crypto payments with the legacy financial system. This hits near and dear to my heart. As you know, I was in the banking industry for a couple years, so I expect a great conversation today. Marshall, welcome to Liberty Entrepreneurs.

0:00:31 Marshall Hayner: Thanks for having me on, Ashe.

0:00:32 Ashe Oro: Yeah, so fill in the gaps here of who you are, what your bio is, and how you got into crypto.

0:00:38 Marshall Hayner: Yeah, so my background is, I'm one of these early crypto people. I happened to be lucky enough to stumble on it, in the very beginning in 2009, and part of that was because of my interest in decentralized technology, and just being a geek, looking for things to play with on the internet. And when I was growing up, when I was in high school, when I was going off to college, I was living during the Napster time. Napster was the cool, hot new thing, and then from there, direct connect in college, and Limewire, Kazaa, [inaudible 00:01:15] those that remember it. And then BitTorrent. BitTorrent was so cool, it just blew my mind. 80% of all internet traffic is routed through this decentralized system. And what I thought was really cool was it was harder to censor, so it made journalism in different parts of the world much more possible. It allowed people to share files that they couldn't normally, or just share them more efficiently and faster. And I could see, this is where the internet is going. We're going to become this decentralized system, and the more we decentralize, the more power we give to people, and that just blew my mind. And so I became obsessed.

Ashe Oro: 00:00 What's up and welcome back to the Liberty Entrepreneurs Podcast. I'm your host, Ashe Oro, and we've got a return guest today, Kevin Geary. He's the founder of sixfiguregrind.com and most recently The 250,000 Society. I think he calls The 250k Society. Welcome back to Liberty Entrepreneurs, Kevin.

Kevin Geary: 00:20 Thanks for having me. Glad to be here.

Ashe Oro: 00:21 Yeah. Listeners will recognize Kevin from episode 70 where we talk about everything you know about food is wrong, but I had to get Kevin back on the show because there's this concept of a digital lifestyle business that he's been promoting on social media and on his podcasts and on his websites, and it really clicks with me, someone who's a digital entrepreneur and nomad and loves the idea of build a business that takes care of you and your family, and you don't have to build the next Microsoft or Apple.

Ashe Oro: 00:52 Kevin, can you give us a brief background of who you are and what is the Six Figure Grind?

Kevin Geary: 00:59 That is my current mission is to help anybody who's interested. If you're out there listening and you have some entrepreneurial blood inside you, and you want to take advantage of what I see as the biggest opportunity of the history of the human race really when you look at it. The ability to build an online lifestyle business like you just said takes care of yourself and your family yet you don't have to go to the length of building some massive thing that has a bunch of risks and that you need venture capital for and all of this other stuff.

Ashe Oro: Welcome to the Liberty Entrepreneurs Podcast. I'm your host, Ashe Oro and today's guest is Derek Loudermilk. He's the host of The Art of Adventure Podcast. He's a high performance coach and the author of the forthcoming book Superconductors which promotes the idea of skill stacking, how to acquire a set of skills that makes you more rare, valuable and irreplaceable in the marketplace.

Ashe Oro: Derek, welcome to Liberty Entrepreneurs.

Derek Loudermilk: Ashe, it's a pleasure to be here.

Ashe Oro: So, fill in the gaps here. Who are you and what are you passionate about?

Derek Loudermilk: I like to call myself professional adventurer and I have been traveling for the last four years. I think you and I have actually wound up in some of the same places. I was traveling solo and now, I'm traveling with a family. And wherever we go, countries around the world, I like to both go on adventures, find some wilderness area to explore but I'm also talking to entrepreneurs in each country that I go to and I'm learning from people like co-working spaces but also local entrepreneur, people that own fruit stands and tour guide companies and things like that.

Derek Loudermilk: I'm really trying to get a pulse of the state of entrepreneurship in each place that I travel to and mixing that with going on adventures and spending plenty of time outdoors and in the wilderness.

Ashe Oro: Yeah, so what is it about adventures specifically and just what are adventures and why do you feel like this is drawn to you and what does this have anything to do with being an entrepreneur?

Derek Loudermilk: Yeah. So, I've come up with this definition of adventure. There's three parts. One is that an adventure is called an interesting or remarkable experience in the dictionary, which means to remark about something means you tell a story about it. You leave an adventure with a story. There's some element of risk to adventure. The word adventure comes from the French "aventure" and it's the same as venture as in venture capital and that there are some element of risk whether it's real or perceived risks of physical danger or maybe it's just you feel like you're taking a risk socially or something like that.

Derek Loudermilk: And the third is there is some element of change that happens to you. As you complete an adventure, you come out of it as a new person. It leaves its mark on you that you bring to your following endeavors, that you bring to the rest of the world that you can share with your friends. An adventurer, maybe and the most common types are traveling to a distant place. It's easiest to have an adventure when you go to a new country or when you go to the wilderness because you're physically changing so many things in your surroundings.

Derek Loudermilk: But adventure can happen on a much smaller scale any time you have those elements where you are taking a risk and you're going through something. It could be buying a house for the first time as some type of adventure or a relationship or there's any number of things that can fall into that adventure framework including starting a business.

Ashe Oro: Right, hence, the tie to entrepreneurism. Are you an adventurepreneur?

Everipedia is Wikipedia on the blockchain. What does that mean for privacy, openness and fair use?

It’s less than 2 weeks until the launch of the EOS blockchain and today we chat with Mahbod Moghadam, co-founder of Everipedia, a blockchain-based Wikipedia built on the EOS blockchain. Mahbod graduated from Yale in 2004 and was the co-founder of Rap Genius (now, Genius.com) which finds the meaning in song lyrics.

While building Rap Genius, Mahbod decided to create his own Wikipedia page, and was unpleasantly surprised that he wasn’t allowed. Apparently didn’t have a high profile, even after raising millions, to be accepted at Wikipedia.com.

With the idea that anyone should be able to create a wiki page for themselves, he and a few other co-founders decided to launch Everipedia.org as an “expansion pack” to Wikipedia.com. Basically, if you weren’t popular or “cool” enough to get a Wikipedia page, you could create your own page on Everipedia.

Before you think that Everipedia is some scrub website, they imported all of the current Wikipedia articles. This means that they have over 6,000,000 unique articles to search from. Before you cry “plagiarism”, please remember that Wikipedia imported the articles of the Encyclopedia Britannica. Ok, everyone cool now?

Anyways, here’s some additional information about Everipedia.org:

Everipedia background:

over 6 million articles

No ads

Anyone can create an article and be an editor about anything, no censorship

Started with all of the wikipedia articles inside of it?

Hired Larry Sanger, co-founder of Wikipedia AND Everipedia

Raised $30M, fully funded by Block.One, the creators of the EOS.io software

More fun facts, Everipedia didn’t start off as a blockchain project. They started as a website that offered reward points to incentivize authors and editors. Guess what? This influence model can’t complete with the tokenized world of blockchain. So, Everipedia networked with Block.One and raised $30M, complete bought by Block.One, and decided to be the first airdrop on the EOS platform. Ok, they didn’t drop their tokens first, but they were the first to announce. Why would they do this? Well, they want to build a community of content creators, editors and consumers. Airdropping your tokens on EOS means that you get and instant community of like-minded please. Pretty clever.

So, tune in to find out why their token, the IQ token, exists and how it incentivizes users and why they chose to build on the EOS blockchain. We’re just getting started with EOS and there’s going to be a LOT more dApps that decide to airdop in order to quickly build a community. If Dan Larimer learned one thing about Steem, it was that the initial token distribution is very important, and by incentivizing airdrops to EOS token holders, dApp team can take advantage of the year long ICO.

I hope you enjoy this episode and I’ve included all the links to keep up-to-date with the Everipedia team, Don’t forget to buy EOS tokens and register them ASAP in order to receive the free Everipedia IQ tokens. This isn’t investment advice. I don’t have any license, certification or experience to offer it. What you do with your money is your own business. I don’t care, and good luck.

Until next time...KEEP BUILDING FREEDOM!!

In Liberty,

Ashe
