Rugpull Radio Ep. 138: Special Guest Jonathan Drake on The Spooner Standard: How Bitcoin Actualized 19th-Century Anarchist Property Law

GMoney welcomes Jonathan Drake for a deep, fast-moving conversation connecting Lysander Spooner’s 19th-century natural-law philosophy to Bitcoin’s modern proof-of-work revolution. Drake traces his path from homeschooling outsider to Spooner scholar, explaining how Spooner’s ideas on property, consent, taxation, and absolute dominion became the missing framework that finally made Bitcoin “click.” Together they break down why the right to self-custody, non-confiscation, and immutable contracts fulfills the anarchist property model Spooner envisioned, and why today’s government structures, monetary systems, and voting rituals violate natural law by definition. The discussion ranges from jury nullification, fractional-reserve fraud, and the Civil War’s monetary triggers to Q-era decentralization, Trump-era regulatory shifts, and Bitcoin’s emergence as the first tool capable of dismantling the proof-of-stake tyranny Spooner warned about. Blending philosophy, history, rebellion, and Bitcoin maximalism, this episode shows how a forgotten abolitionist gave language to the digital 1776 unfolding now.
