“Central Bank Digital Currency – A Moral Hazard” – Panel Discussion ft. Ian of FTL

I was honored to be invited to speak on a panel about Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) regarding them being a moral hazard. Many government gangs are moving towards implementing a CBDC and that is very bad news for financial freedom. Here is the full 22 minute panel discussion. Thank you to Chris from Sustany Capital for hosting the conference.

Video & Voice Calling Now Working on FTL’s Matrix Chat Server!

LRN.FM Matrix ChatBig news from our Matrix chat server!  Finally, we have gotten direct audio and video calling working.  These calls are supposedly client-to-client and do not use our server as a midpoint, so they should be as fast and as high quality as the calling parties’ internet connections and devices allow.  Note, this only works on direct conversations with two people.  If you have a chat room with more than two, you’ll still need to use the Jitsi conference option that has always been available.  Enjoy!

If you’re not yet part of our Matrix server, you can visit this page to get step-by-step instructions on how to join.  Matrix is a self-hosted, open source, federated chat system where you can join existing channels or create and admin your own, public or private!

I was honored to appear on “The Michael Harrison Interview”, hosted by the publisher of TALKERS Magazine himself, Michael Harrison. We covered the history of Free Talk Live, our move to New Hampshire as part of the Free State Project, the libertarian movement, Cop Block, Robin Hood of Keene, and the FBI’s nearly two-decades of targeting of liberty activists in Keene. We also discussed the Crypto Six, jail, online scams, and cryptocurrency as a means to fostering peace.
