Episode 201 - I Thought Libertarians Were Supposed to be Consistent: A Review of Reactions to the George Floyd Events

Subscribe to the podcast As we approached the end of the year, no one could have predicted what was in store for us in 2020.  The murder of George Floyd by Minneapolis police has sparked nationwide protests decrying the abuse of black Americans at the hands of the police.  And with these protests have also come riots, looting, and even more abuses committed by the police.  There's a lot to take in and try to unwrap and it's confusing and frustrating.  If any group should be prepared to deal with wading through this mess, it should be libertarians, but unfortunately, many have dropped the ball and have missed very badly with their takes.

Episode 187 - Should Libertarians Work Above or Below the Table?

Subscribe to the podcast No libertarian likes to pay taxes, but can we take lowering our tax burden and overall government footprint too far?  Should we always strive to work under the table, away from the line of sight of the taxman, or should we maximize our productive output by making the most of our most valuable skills above the table?

Episode 186 - Exploring Thyme and Astrological Analysis of Altcoin Marketing Drivel with Birdarchist

Subscribe to the podcast We once again welcome our friend, Birdarchist, who made an absolute beast of a power move to get on the show despite his claims it was inadvertent.  We start off with some chat about nothing in particular and then transition into piecing through an article that Rollo stumbled upon about the altcoin, Tezos.  It's a disaster of a piece if you're looking for any substantive reasons to think Tezos provides any value, but that's why it's such a good microcosm of the altcoin space.  We take the opportunity to discuss a number of the downfalls of altcoins, including liquidity problems and how proof of stake systems wind up becoming cartelized. Just buy Bitcoin.

Episode 185 - Libertarians Are Coming for What?

Subscribe to the podcast We libertarians tend to take the "live and let live" approach to a lot of moral issues.  If you're not violating the rights of others, then we have no interest in using force to stop you from doing whatever you want to do.  Does that mean that the behavior should always be encouraged?  And if the behavior isn't expected to be very beneficial for society, how do we go about promoting better behavior?  We use an article from The American Mind by Bedivere Bedrydant that takes a critical stance on libertarians getting in the way of a ban on pornography to explore these ideas.

Episode 184 - Governments and Bitcoin: A Look at Game Theory with CarCampIt

Subscribe to the podcast A lot of people like to dismiss Bitcoin by saying something like, "Bitcoin is nice and all, but the government is just going to shut it down."  The whole purpose of Bitcoin is strike at the root of government's power, but just assuming that the government not only can but also would want to simply shut it down ignores a lot of the interesting game theory that's going on in the global competition for power.  We bring on our friend and frequent guest, CarCampIt, to discuss these ideas.

Episode 180 - Canceling Cancel Culture with Bitcoin

Subscribe to the podcast Target Tori was the latest example of an attempt at Cancel Culture that ultimately failed because of how ridiculous it was.  Whether or not the perpetrator was being serious or was simply a troll, it was at least nice to see people rally around Tori and help her out.  But the internet rage mobs in general aren't a great idea.  It makes us stick our noses in places they probably don't belong. Is there a way out?  There sure it.  Once again, Bitcoin fixes this.  BTCpayServer is a tool that people susceptible to cancellation should start leveraging.  And it's just an awesome tool in general: we've recently added it at LibertyMugs.com to handle our Bitcoin payment processing.

Episode 179 - Evading Prison Time with Private Escape Markets

Subscribe to the podcast "I have not fled justice--I have escaped injustice and political persecution." These words were spoken by Carlos Ghosn, a former Nissan executive on trial in Japan.  He was charged with financial misconduct and did not trust the Japanese courts to give him a fair trial.  So instead of getting railroaded, he hired some people to smuggle him out of Japan and back to his home country of Lebanon.  This raises some interesting questions about private markets for escaping justice systems.
