Welcome to bonus episode number 4 of the Free Cities Podcast. These bonus episodes are available exclusively to our subscribers on Fountain.fm , and I’ll be dropping them periodically throughout the year, especially during the weeks when subscribers already have early access to the current main episode. . If you're not on Fountain, you can access the episode here: https://fountain.fm/episode/CznBcyiApWPOqLrYaiZS . Today’s bonus episode is a Plan B Hangout, in which Giacomo Zucco interviews me. According to their website, Plan B Network “Aims to provide the best tools and educational content worldwide, empowering people to regain their sovereignty, from individuals to communities. We are here to help you along your Bitcoin journey.” It’s an educational platform, and Giacomo himself is a bit of a Bitcoin OG, most people in the space know him. I’m currently in the process of writing an educational syllabus for Plan B Network about Free Cities - If you’re listening to this sometime in the future, check out their website at planb.network for the course. Here’s a quick summary of today’s episode so you can decide whether or not to dive in: "In this episode of the Plan B Hangout, Timothy Allen from the Free Cities Foundation discusses the concept of Free Cities, their evolution, and their intersection with Bitcoin and individual freedom. Key topics include the Free Cities Foundation, Prospera in Honduras, competition between governance models, sovereign individuals versus Free Cities, securing a Free City, the relationship between the Free Cities movement and Bitcoin, filtering out scammers and unrealistic projects. And finally, we talk about seasteading." I didn’t know this beforehand, but Giacomo was actually a seasteader back in the day. I might have even rekindled his interest in it. All in all, this should serve as a pretty solid overview of the current Free Cities space and its integration with Bitcoin. Apologies in advance for my croaky voice and occasional shouting; I really need to work on my online interview game… and I will! Enjoy the conversation.
