Distributed Technology And The End Of Counter-parties (Law and Banking)

This post is an extension onto my last post and will explore and discuss how new distributed technology developments of the last ten years soon to realize their full potential will end the counter-party or middleman, and how profound that development is for Human Liberty, specifically freedom from government, banking and all other centralized cartelized […]

The Death of Central Banking, Government and The Birth of The Voluntary Era (Part2)

“Industry will divest power of its revenues by offering at less cost the services which power gets itself paid for. Federations will replace States, the loose but indissoluble chains of interest will succeed the despotism of men and of the Laws. The tendency towards government, the first passion of the Human Race, will cede to […]

The Death of Central Banking, Government and The Birth of The Voluntary Era (Part1)

I had spent a few weeks planning and halfway through writing an elaborate post on the evolution of banking to central banking and the inner workings of secret cartels, but I got so bored I couldn’t be bothered finishing it… In these dying days of Socialist central banking, I really don’t think it matters anyway… […]

The Origin of Money

Another controversial topic perhaps… There are numerous theories and historical evidence for the origin of money, and it has caused rigorous debate among Economists, Archaeologists, Anthropologists and other Social Scientists… What is money, what constitutes a money, and where does it originate? And considering the importance of money to a functioning market economy beyond that […]

The “Intrinsic” Value of Bitcoin

A provocative title to kick things off… Many so-called “Financial Experts”, Bankers, “Economists” and myriad “Analysts” have decried Bitcoin as a fiction, a delusion, a Ponzi Scheme, Linden Dollars, “intrinsically” worthless imaginary monopoly money… Even elements within Mainstream Austrian Thought, which one would expect to know rather better, have jumped on the Bitcoin Ponzi bandwagon… […]
