Episode 12 of Sal and Mark. Mark is back from Costa Rica and jumping straight into one of the most important conversations in crypto. Denny (@patriotsounds) from RuneBond.com joins Sal and Mark to break down THORChain, the permissionless, fully decentralized cross chain swap protocol that no government can touch. They cover how it works, what bond providers and node operators actually do, why Monero is coming to ThorChain soon and why that is a game changer, and how anyone can start using it today without ever touching the Rune token. Jeff from RanchoDelicioso.com and Anamaya.com drops in to talk about two distinct but related projects in Costa Rica. RanchoDelicioso is a voluntary, rule free eco village where like minded people can buy lots and build their own homes, with around thirty residents already living there. Anamaya is his National Geographic award winning longevity and wellness retreat nearby, offering week long immersive stays with yoga, healthy food, and stunning ocean views. Jeff talks about what makes both work and why finding the right people is the key to everything. Sal also breaks down home based agorism and how turning your hobbies into crypto side hustles is one of the lowest risk and most effective ways to participate in the counter economy today. The show rounds out with the Firo Spark segment covering Spark names, Rosenbridge, the Firo Community Fund, and why Firo's price still has not caught up with the technology.

Mark is joined by his wife Laura for a special conversation sparked by his recent interview with Lauren Noone (go check that one out) on what freedom really means, and how choice sits at the center of it. Here's the question that started it: if you have to pay property tax, do you really own your property, or are you just a serf paying quit rents to a modern lord? They land on this: homeownership might just be a really long lease. Is taxation theft? Depends on whether you had somewhere freer to go. Not an argument that owning a house is bad.

Miranda Webb, featured in HBO's documentary series The Anarchists, joins Mark Edge to set the record straight on what the show got right, what it left out, and what it was actually like to live through it. She speaks candidly about the abusive relationship with her late partner, the circumstances surrounding his death in Acapulco, and why she believes the series softened a far darker reality. Miranda also opens up about the practical realities of living as a fugitive in Mexico for the past six years, from the impossibility of opening a bank account to the constant risk of immigration checkpoints, and why she has chosen to stay rather than turn herself in to face charges in Ohio. The conversation covers the difficulty of finding legal representation, the cost of justice in the American system, and her plans to eventually pursue Mexican citizenship. The episode closes on a lighter note as Miranda discusses her new role as director of operations for Anarchapulco, how the event has evolved from its chaotic early years into a more family oriented and growth focused gathering, and what is coming next with Liberpulco, the Gratitude Gathering, and Anarchapulco 2027 in Puerto Vallarta.

Kurt Walker Jr., the world's first Bitcoin historian, joins the show to trace the full arc of crypto from David Chaum's eCash in the nineties all the way through the block size wars, the Silk Road takedown, and the deliberate hijacking of Bitcoin by banking interests tied to Jeffrey Epstein, Blockstream, and the Bilderberg group. If you think you know the history of Bitcoin, this conversation will change that. Sal and Wayne also break down decentralized identity, what it is, why it matters, and why a working version could be less than two years away. The conversation covers how blockchain based identity could replace government issued IDs, eliminate impersonation scams, and give individuals genuine control over what information they share and with whom. Mark's interview with Jay Noone of JayNoone.com rounds out the episode, covering life on a New Hampshire homestead, Man Camp, EMP proof vehicles, and why building a community of useful, valuable, and competent people is the real path to freedom.

Could a Nonprofit Prison Actually Fix Corrections in America? Brian Koehn spent 28 years as a warden in private corrections, running five facilities and overseeing security at 65 more. Now he's building Social Purpose Corrections, a nonprofit prison model that doesn't exist anywhere else in the US, designed to fix the incentives that keep the system broken. Mark Edge talks with Brian about why correctional officer turnover is the root cause behind almost every failure in American prisons, why "hard on crime" wins elections but makes outcomes worse, and why the real recidivism numbers are nowhere close to what most states report. They also get into the case for "smart on crime" over "hard on crime," and why Brian, having actually run the system, sees a distinction that matters more than most politicians want to admit.

Mark Edge catches up with Dennis Pratt, co-owner of the Independence Inn in Stratford, New Hampshire, to make the case for why libertarians should stop talking and start moving. Dennis breaks down what the Free State Project has built in New Hampshire — 300 liberty groups, eight Liberty Clubhouses, and a thriving community of porcupines — and how the Independence Inn serves as a way station for visitors and new movers alike, with discounted stays to help people explore the libertarian homeland before committing to a move. If you've ever wondered what it feels like to be surrounded by people who share your values, this one's for you. Contact Dennis at @DennisPrattFree on X or join the Libertarian Homeland group on X.

Mark Edge charts new waters with Joe Quirk, Seavangelist and President of The Seasteading Institute and author of Seasteading: How Floating Nations Will Restore the Environment, Enrich the Poor, Cure the Sick, and Liberate Humanity from Politicians, for a wide ranging conversation about why libertarians have won all the arguments but still can't change anything — and why seasteading might be the technology that actually puts the state out of business. They cover Joe's unlikely conversion from left-wing radical to voluntaryist, the current state of seastead technology from ArkPad to Ocean Builders to LiberArx, jurisdictional freedoms at sea, the wild story of Chad and Nadia being hunted by the Thai Navy, and why freeing your mind might be the most important first step to freedom.

Mark Edge speaks with Eric Brakey, Executive Director of the Free State Project, at the Libertarian National Convention about why concentrating libertarians in one state is producing real, measurable wins — while national third-party politics keeps spinning its wheels. They cover the culture of accomplishment over endless philosophical debates, New Hampshire's unique citizen legislature, the New Hampshire Liberty Alliance's scorecard system, and why the Free State may be libertarianism's best shot at lasting change.

Sal and Mark are back for episode six, fresh off a month of travels — Bitcoin Vegas, Consensus Miami, and BCH Bliss in Slovenia. Before diving in, Sal recounts his wild Homeland Security detainment at Tampa Airport — arrested for weed on the jetway. The guys break down the chaos at the Libertarian National Convention in Grand Rapids — rubber chickens, stolen pamphlets, a gnarly slap, and the disaffiliation of the Libertarian Party of New Hampshire — and contrast it with what the Agorists are actually building. Then, Sal's full speech from BCH Bliss on how to truly privatize your Bitcoin Cash using Cash Fusion, BCHX, Edge Wallet, and Nym. Followed by a deep dive interview with Alan from Quai Network — a scalable proof of work blockchain with smart contracts, a dual token system, merge mining, and a flat coin tied to the price of energy. Plus the weekly Firo Frontier segment covering the latest in privacy coin development. Sponsored by SALT Lending. Questions about SALT Lending?

In this episode of the Mark Edge Show, Mark sits down with comedian and author Andrew Heaton to discuss his new book, Tribalism is Dumb: Where It Came From, How It Got So Bad, and What to Do About It — a book Mark calls the best he's read in a decade. Blending Douglas Adams-style wit with serious anthropological and evolutionary research, Heaton explains why humans are innately tribal, why political parties have become the "last tribe standing" as other community and identity groups have eroded, and why technology — especially social media — is likely the real culprit behind the last two decades of escalating partisanship. The conversation also digs into the difference between authoritarian and pluralist impulses, why the left-right axis fails to capture what's actually going on in politics, and why politics brings out the worst in people when it becomes a replacement religion. Grab Tribalism is Dumb on Amazon or Audible (the audiobook is performed by Heaton himself and highly recommended). #markedge #markedgeshow

Through overcharging, excessive sentencing, and inconsistent enforcement, IAN FREEMAN is being unjustly prosecuted for standing up for financial privacy. The government has targeted Ian for his role in promoting financial privacy through cryptocurrency, with made-up charges built on false narratives. His case represents a dangerous precedent: if we allow this to happen, anyone who advocates for privacy and decentralized financial systems could be next.

Dan McMillan joins Mark Edge at the Libertarian National Convention to discuss Make Voters the Donors — a proposal to give every registered voter "voter dollars" to fund the candidates of their choice, shifting political power away from lobbyists and billionaires and back to everyday Americans. McMillan breaks down how the voluntary public financing system would work, why it doesn't require a constitutional amendment, and how grassroots organizing in key swing states could make it a reality by 2030.
