Tucker (and some other Libertarians such as Adam kokesh) seem to think because (in their opinion) technology makes government less and less needed in the world, that it will lead to a free society.<br /><br />I have debate many people on the idea of technology alone will lead to a free society. I even sent an email to both Tucker and Kokesh on this. I said since government is an agent of violence in society and that many people will back the government then how can new technology alone led to a free society? And also doesn’t the government use this same technology for evil?<br /><br />I got back something on how people will not need to use government services and communication will make it harder for the government to tack what people are saying. <br />One of my problems is with what Tucker and others are saying is that why do anything. Why talk about the government or bother with Liberty at all since technology will solve everything. In fact Tucker should instead of talking about the evils of the Alt right, Donald Trump or going on tours he should be researching, investing into new techs and/or apps and be promoting them. <br /><br />Another problem is what happens if they are wrong? Well anyone that listen to them and believe probably did not talk to their friends and family on uncomfortable topics. They probably did not go out and try to change the world and why go through the effort of changing government laws when people will just wake up. <br /><br />Also if government is violence then why can they not ban or outright stop the technology/ies that threaten their power? If you read about Chinese history or Japanese you will know that many times they outright ban different technologies and killed the people who knew the knowledge. Japan ban fire arms for 200 years and were successful. <br /><br />Also I love your comment "I don’t know. Do you think if I show them my blockchain it will scare them off? Seriously, isn’t this problem pretty well solved already?"<br />JohnChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13581478171873562100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-648884752216444797.post-75890136733005001312017-09-23T17:45:20.066-07:002017-09-23T17:45:20.066-07:00Given the level of nonsense that comes out of his ...Given the level of nonsense that comes out of his mouth and from his electronic perches at FEE and yourmoneyto.me, I don't understand how Kinsella still associates with him.Dr. Weezilnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-648884752216444797.post-54038076500183535812017-09-23T12:35:35.335-07:002017-09-23T12:35:35.335-07:00What is a 'Blockchain'

It is also promoted as their replacement. Bitcoin is promoted not only as money, but the future money, and our monetary future.<br /><br />http://www.acting-man.com/?p=51354<br /><br /><br /><br />The rising cost of Bitcoin mining, which is an activity necessary to keep the Bitcoin network up and running, could turn out to be a potential flaw of the crypto-currency. It is too early to come to a definitive conclusion with respect to this though.<br /><br />Our knowledge of the technical aspects of Bitcoin is quite limited – we are mainly interested in its economic aspects. The fact that it originated in the marketplace and that it is a decentralized system are the characteristics that interest us most.<br /><br />http://www.acting-man.com/?p=35886<br /><br /><br /><br />Bitcoin has suffered greatly from teething problems and a growing perception that it is increasingly subject to fraud. Some of the frauds that have occurred were reportedly based on technical weaknesses hackers were able to exploit.<br /><br />http://www.acting-man.com/?p=35790<br /><br /><br />How I Explained Bitcoin to My 94-Year-Old Mother<br /><br />“You mean… nobody knows where it came from. Nobody has ever seen it. Nobody knows what it is worth. Nobody knows where to find it. And nobody stands behind it. Seems crazy to me.”<br /><br />http://www.acting-man.com/?p=27320<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />The basic idea behind Bitcoin is to create, by means of a mathematical algorithm, a digital good that is scarce and fungible.<br />Nakamote devised a software system that enabled people to obtain bitcoins as a reward for solving complex mathematical puzzles. The resulting coins are then used for online trading. Nakamote also arranged that the number of bitcoins can never exceed 21 million.<br />Some experts maintain that Bitcoin will displace the existent fiat money and will usher in a new era of free banking, which will finally put to rest the menace of inflation.<br />https://mises.org/library/bitcoin-money-myth<br /><br />maxAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-648884752216444797.post-412519393359173202017-09-22T09:23:12.273-07:002017-09-22T09:23:12.273-07:00Great post.

It really is sad to see the direction that Jeffrey Tucker has taken, as evidenced by more than a few of his writings/interviews/etc over the last few years.
