I learned so much from both Eduardo Marty and Gloria Alvarez in this episode about Milei. Eduardo’s description of life under massive inflation really stuck with me.

What should libertarians, ancaps and bitcoiners make of the rise of Javier Milei, who finished first in Argentina’s presidential primary running on a platform to end the central bank, slash taxes, abolish multiple state ministries, and expel “parasites” from the government? Check out my stream with Argentine economist Eduardo Marty, who supports Milei, and Gloria Alvarez, a Guatemalan libertarian activist and politician who shares his disdain for socialism but has some reservations about his conservative social policies and rhetoric. https://youtube.com/live/W8MeyFRv16o?si=iOtPH2OABHJviBd9

A reminder that a core value proposition of Nostr is its censorship-resistance. And that is extremely important in a world where institutions and laws can help secure yet never fully guarantee free speech. That being said, check out my interview with Jay Bhattcharya and his attorney about the legal challenge to the social media censorship that occurred from 2020 to present.

Any Argentinians who’d be interested in speaking with me about Milei?

New Reason documentary about Prospera, a privately governed zone in Honduras, home to the Roatan Bitcoin Center, which aims to spread bitcoin across the entire island. Will it survive? Much depends on the action taken by Honduras’ new democratic socialist president, who calls its existence “criminal” and “a threat to our sovereignty.”

Not gonna lie, pretty depressing to see the ⚡️ gone from Damus, extremely disappointing move by Apple. Nonetheless, goes to demonstrate why such decentralization of all layers remains a crucial project. Much gratitude to builders like @jb55 for doing the work.

If the reporting so far is accurate, a privatized militia turned on its client state and is overthrowing an authoritarian dictator because of the horrific and failing war he started.
