I have decided to attend Anarchapulco this year in Acapulco, Mexico. I had a chance to meet up with Jeff Berwick in Lisbon, Portugal during SteemFest 2 this year (2017) and made the decision then and there to go see what it's all about.
If you haven't heard of Anarchapulco, now in its 4th year and running from February 15th-18th, 2018, it is one of the largest events of its kind in Mexico with a host of celebrities in the cryptocurrency space speaking on a wide range of related topics.
Anarchapulco is an anarcho-capitalist event that will take place on the sunny beaches of Acapulco, Mexico. The conference has been well-known for bringing together political activists, cryptocurrency experts, and world-class economists focused on the freedom movement. This year’s four-day liberty fiesta will be no different as attendees hear from great speakers, learn about decentralized technologies, and network. credit
While chatting with Jeff Berwick I mentioned to him that I met and hung out with another known person in the crypto space who is based in Acapulco named Juan Galt when we both spoke at a Dash sponsored event in Cancun, Mexico this year.
"Do you know Juan?", I asked him. "He works with me", Jeff said.
Turns out the crypto space is a small world and tightly interconnected. I'm looking forward to meeting up with Jeff and Juan again on their home turf. If you've never been to Acapulco you're going to love it.
Juan and I hung out for a few days when I hosted him at my place this year in Playa Del Carmen and it was interesting picking his brain for the wealth of knowledge he has about crypto, decentralization projects, and all the goings-on in the space. Decentralization is the future and a step in the right direction to reclaiming our personal sovereignty.
It will be interesting to hear what Roger Ver has to say about the co-opting of Bitcoin by Wall Street and the central banks.
He has been a public advocate of Bitcoin Cash which hard-forked from Bitcoin on August 1st, 2017 and brought with it not only a lot of whales in the Bitcoin space but also faster transaction times and the low transaction fees that made bitcoin so popular to begin with.
I want to hear more about Roger's plans put in motion to start a new libertarian country, purchasing sovereignty from a government to create the world’s first Free Society. Just thinking about this grand idea makes me wonder what a free society would even look like. I can't even think of an example to draw from throughout history. We may think we live in a free society but that's just an illusion.
There are some indigenous tribes in the jungle of Mexico that have the closest thing to a free society I've ever witnessed, but other than that I don't think I've ever seen one. If they procure the land and get in started it's something inspiring enough to lure me into getting involved with.
