Free State Project
February 3rd's episode was filmed live at a press event hosted by the Free State Project where the project announced it had reached its goal set forth 13 years ago to obtain 20,000 signatures from people pledging to move to New Hampshire. Those 20,000 people now have 5 years to make arrangements to move to New Hampshire and participate in the world's first intentional liberty community.
New Hampshire has already been dubbed the Bitcoin Capital of America. Host Amanda asked several early movers about cryptocurrency in an attempt to decipher the likelihood of New Hampshire becoming the Bitcoin Capital of the World. Most of the early movers had heard of cryptocurrency, had used it in some form and had positive things to say so the future for New Hampshire is looking bright.
The Liberty Forum
This episode was filmed during host Amanda's time at the Liberty Forum in Manchester, New Hampshire, an annual conference hosted by the Free State Project where several blockchain and cryptocurrency projects gave speeches or presentations.
Notable presentations were given by MaidSafe - a decentralized internet project 10 years in the making, LBRY - a decentralized content hosting and distribution project, Ubiquity - a service providing colored coins on the Bitcoin blockchain to organizations registering property titles, and Arcade City - a decentralized ride sharing application project which is incorporating cryptocurrency into its app in an effort to compete with Uber.
Although the presentations were exciting and informative, most attendees were most excited about the live Q&A session with Edward Snowden via teleconference. Snowden spoke on the power of technology to empower individuals in an age where nations states are looking to continue to leverage technology to its advantage in its efforts to control the general population.
Amanda spent some quality time interviewing conference attendees about cryptocurrency. As is to be expected in the Bitcoin Capital of America, many of the attendees had heard of cryptocurrency, had used it to buy things like groceries and beer or had accepted it as payment for goods and services.
Many of the vendors at the conference were accepting Bitcoin as payment for their goods. The conference full of cryptocurrency fans culminated with an awards ceremony and an evening dance party.
