I have noticed a lot of people on the far right trying to shoe-horn their beliefs into the term 'libertarianism'. It's a sign to me of how ambiguous that word always was. Wouldn't they better simply embracing

This looks fanciful to me. The trend over the last month has been down and I expect this to continue. A panic will probably drop it down to below $1000 later in the year followed by a recovery to about

You seem to have forgotten to mention the possibility that people have realised that Bitcoin is ludicrously overvalued and are now desperately trying to cash out before the panic starts.

For anything to be 'theft' you need to have a concept of ownership in the first place. You seem to want a concept of ownership that exists independent of our current society, but this is unsustainable.

As shitty and dangerous as the current U.S government is, is dissolving it really a wise idea?

Rights exist as the underlying sunstratum of reasons, principles, and rationales which are never “enshrined into law” by codification or binding precedential case-law, but which are still both necessary

Man pontificating about investing in crypto currencies admits that he cashed in at the height of the boom.

If you want to argue that rights can exist apart from the law, you need to explain in what sense they exist. In my view, a right requires two things: It needs to be codified - that is described definitively

if you start with the premise that there’s no underlying guidelines to circumscribe the sheer brute power of legal authority in any legal regime. That is certainly not what I think. Rights do not spring

No you're not.

As I understand it, a right is a right by virtue of its existence and not grounded on any other conditions, meaning that if we believe something is a right, it exists, whether or not we know it exists

For us to have a right there are two things that are necessary. First that we know what the right is, and second that there is an entity that will enforce the right. The problem with natural rights is

I expect Bitcoin to slowly decline for a while and when it becomes apparent what is going on I think a panic will occur as investors simultaneously decide that it's time to cut their losses and cash out.

I think this chapter is a bit weak. Seems to me it needs a few more examples to illustrate the arguments made.

I wonder if I'd get any shit if I went there and walked around in a 'Fuck Trump' t-shirt?

The main reason for not voting for Ron Paul were the racist newsletters that came out under his name.

Kokesh is harsh on Obama here and criticises him for the detention of Chelsea (then Bradley) Manning. Given this was 6 years ago, it's worth mentioning that Obama had Manning released from prison. Credit

Larken Rose is a clown.

When you talk about your personal wealth you are of course talking about your holdings of your country's currency - the same currency that you pay taxes in. If there were no state, there would be no currency,

I'm quite bearish and I feel a collapse in Bitcoin is due this year (and other crypto currencies too). Why? Because of articles like this which only talk about crypto currencies as 'an investment': Not
