  • The Free Cities Podcast is awesome!

    This has been my favourite podcast for at least the last two if not three years. If anyone truly interested in freedom, sovereignty and autonomy I couldn’t recommend it highly enough. Timothy is a consummate presenter., Humorous, curious and an all-round great guy. If you want to explore your options to live with the least governmental control and oversight of your life I recommend listening to this podcast. Top marks!

148 - Patrick Henningsen: The Grand Conspiracy
Q: Can I just cut in? Why didn't they want it?

Q: How does the Liberland governance and tax system work in practice?
They operate a voluntary tax model funded through a blockchain-based merit system; citizens stake merits as a form of investment in the state, which can be redeemed gradually, and governance is carried out via smart contracts that encode constitutional rules.
149 - Vít Jedlička: Liberland’s Path to Prosperity

Q: What are you absolutely stoked about currently that listeners should know about?
