Today\u2019s guest is Roger Ver, Co-Founder of FreeSociety.com and Owner of Bitcoin.com. Recently, at the Nexus Conference in Aspen, Colorado, Roger announced a new project called \u201cFree Society\u201d. Basically he and other founders and investors plan to purchase land from a sovereign state-owned country with the idea of building a \u201cfree society\u201d based on libertarian principles. I knew that I had to get Roger back on Liberty Entrepreneurs to discuss this revolutionary idea.\n\nIn the past, free societies have been attempted with several different models, none of which have been very successful. One of the most popular attempts isthe Seastead movement which aims to build floating cities on international waters, but this has unique and obvious engineering and logistic problems. Another is Liberland, a small piece of land on the Danube River between Croatia and Serbia. Basically, the \u201cpresident\u201d Vit Jedli\u010dka was able to locate the land and confirm that neither country had laid claim. As you can imagine, governments aren\u2019t exactly friendly to new countries popping up within their borders, especially ones that claim to have an anarchist for president. \n\nRoger\u2019s approach could signal a new way to go about building our own Galt\u2019s Gulch. Since we still live in a state-controlled world, we must still get their permission and this is exactly what Free Society plans to do. As governments continue to go broke, because of their own terrible business models and as their debt-backed, fiat currencies lose value in the face of the rising demand of cryptocurrency, they will be forced to sell of their assets in an attempt to keep paying out and covering the favors they\u2019ve promised. This means some of the land the government has stolen will be sold back into the private sector, but with an agreement and contracts attached. \n\nRoger and I start out by taking a look at his libertarian foundation and how he formed his guiding set or principles (ie NAP). Spoiler: He thought Mises\u2019 book Socialism was a pro-Socialism book lololol. \n\nOther topics covered include:\n\n\nWhat is \u201cFree Society\u201d and how did you get the idea? How is it similar/different than Seasteading or Liberland? \n\n\nWhat are the important problems that need to be solved for this experiment to work and be successful?\n\n\nHow do see this society progressing from literally nothing into a free market-based, wealthy society?\n\n\nLet\u2019s compare how more opportunities are available now than ever because of cryptocurrencies vs relying on the State\u2019s fiat money and/or precious metals as possible monies. \n\n\nHow will things be \u201cregulated\u201d and how will licensing work? \n\n\nWalk us through an example of a digital nomad coming to Free Society to live and work. Visas/passports? Renting an apartment? \n\nHope you enjoyed this one and please share it with your friends! See you on the first plane to Free Society! \n\nContact Info:\n\nFree Society Website - https://www.freesociety.com/ \n\nTwitter: twitter.com/rogerkver\n\nPodcast Resources:\n\nSocialism: An Economic and Sociological Analysis by Ludwig von Mises\n\n\nPLEASE LEAVE A REVIEW ON YOUR FAVORITE PLATFORM!\nYoutube: http://www.youtube.com/c/LibertyEntrepreneurs\niTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/liberty-entrepreneurs/id1057809945?mt=2\nSoundcloud: https://soundcloud.com/liberty-entrepreneurs\nStitcher Radio: http://www.stitcher.com/podcast/liberty-entrepreneurs-podcast\nTuneIn Radio: http://tunein.com/radio/Liberty-Entrepreneurs-Podcast-p805213/\nGoogle Play: https://play.google.com/music/listen#/ps/Iqp3bpqbhske6s6476yfy2yyylu\nPlayer.fm: https://player.fm/series/liberty-entrepreneurs
