Summary
Location: Los Angeles Date: Thursday 3rd February Project: Market Disrupters Live Role: Market Analyst
In the last show with Mark Moss, we discussed how society is currently at a rare confluence of 3 revolutionary cycles: political/social/cultural, technological, and financial. In this show, we expand on that thesis by discussing the ramifications of living in an age of great disruption. An age when the previous solid principles underpinning the organisation of operation of society are in flux.
Truly revolutionary questions that were assumed until recently to have been settled are now being seriously considered as being up for debate. What role, if any, should the state have? How should rules and regulations be determined, implemented, and policed? How can individuals act against the forces of centralization? Can we find truth in this post-fact world?
These questions are being debated as some believe monumental change within society is around the corner: we're at peak centralisation and could be approaching a 'Blow-Off Top'. Discordant forces will stretch and meld society into new shapes. Those not prepared will have their futures mapped out for them by others who are.
Those who are self-sufficient will be best placed to react to this changing world; Bitcoin is the means by which people will be able to have geographic freedom so they can escape coercion. Bitcoin is also the basis for helping like-minded groups to mould a new future.
In this interview, I talk to the serial entrepreneur and market analyst Mark Moss. We discuss peak centralization, the role of a state, the balkanization of society, the need for transparency and truth, and how Bitcoin enables people to free themselves from the tyranny of place.

| 0:51.9 | and do updates on this every month, but with the price of where |
| 0:54.8 | Bitcoin is, I'm approaching having, I think about a third of my mining equipment paid off. I love that I'm mining |
