Gabriel Custodiet speaks for a second time with the anarchist philosopher Doug Casey. And once again they discuss topics Doug Casey rarely comments on: how anarchy holds up to foreign empires, what Doug would refuse to sell on darknet marketplaces, whether the will to power isn’t a better ethic to follow, the morality of investing in “defense” stocks, and jury nullification.

Gabriel Custodiet speaks with Zelko of RoninDojo and Samourai Wallet. They unpack the crazy politics in the Bitcoin community: from the fuzzy “red lines” of Bitcoin companies, to the gradual diminishment of Bitcoin’s cypherpunk origins, to FOSS gaslighting and the recent Ocean Mining censorship. Oh, and Bitcoin is not for Progressives.
