Modern Sovereign

We use the trucker protests in Canada to illustrate the pros and cons of public demonstrations. Do they foment necessary political change or hasten tyrannical crackdowns? What role does bitcoin and web3 play in the wake of these events?

We talk about "cancel culture" in a web3 world. We cover the Canadian truckers, community governance measures to regulate bad actors in crypto, and Joe Rogan's experience.

An episode for the wanderers and meandering Sovvies. We touch on the Joe Rogan/Spotify conflict, DeFi heists, Kanye's album tier list, and push the PsychoPhysical guys right on out of the closet.

The gang does a state of the market update. We cover the market downtrend, how this cycle lined up with our expectations, and what we will be looking at over a potential multi-year bear market.

The philosopher king himself (@chaoticlars) joins us for our longest episode yet. We hash out what utopian and/or dystopian futures may be in store with us, the role of education in society, as well as why everyone should stay as far away from philosophy as humanly possible.

We talk about our respective 2021s in review and look forward to 2022. We talk about our (sometimes hard) lessons learned and how we plan on moving forward into the next year including both personal goals and market outlooks on emerging defi protocols, new L1s, and the broad switch to "value" protocols compared to "growth" projects.

We get into some of the tradeoffs between "blue" and "white" collar work as well as the market forces that got us to where we are now.

@KevinDMackay joins us to discuss his new podcast, PsychoPhysical. We touch on the mind/body/spirit relation, technocratic utopia, and how nobody is as self-aware as they think.

We start strong talking about the direction we want to take the show, focusing on builders and innovation. But then we quickly get sidetracked and just talk about crypto.

This one is about location independence. We touch on navigating restrictions in different parts of the world, what to consider if you want to go expat, and watching municipalities start to compete with each other for citizenship. Some great tangents on macro market sentiments and the Rittenhouse case as well. 

The gang talks about currencies today. We get into earning and spending in countries with different fiats, the disruption that crypto denomination might bring, muse on the mechanics behind algo stable coins, and try our best not to disparage well networked minorities.

This is both the most alpha laden and numerologically significant episode we've done to date. The gang unpacks the "airdrop" hype and how to capitalize on it. Also get into the weeds on the game theory behind tokenizing protocols and creating user incentives in crypto. Also please buy our products and use our affiliate links.

Katavasis (@enadiodromia on Twitter) joins us for our 10th Episode. We discuss his new Substack, "Written by Human". We go into themes from his writing like insular sub cultures emerging in the digital age, modernity finding weird ways to replace religion, and the appeal of conspiracy theories in chaotic environments.

The gang talks about how to secure secure your crypto funds, risks and scams to watch out for, and how Facebook's metaverse play will influence the evolution of online communities

This one is a little rough around the edges. We spend about 20 min trying to discuss the paths to both sovereignty and tyranny that technology can lead us to while troubleshooting audio issues. Also Ryan and Alex met up.

The fellas tackle the "Everything Bubble" today. What is it? How did it get here? How do we position ourselves for it? We have no answers of course but we sure to have fun talking about it.

We use NFTs to illustrate how market liquidity works and how to use that to inform decisions about portfolio allocations

We break down the Oct 4 2021 Facebook blackout, discuss Urbit and its ecosystem, over-define the term "arbitrage", and spitball ideas to make a quick buck.

We bring on our first guest, Thomas J. Bevan (rhymes with seven), to discuss the power of the growing creator economy and his journey earning a living as a writer online. Find Tom's work at https://thomasjbevan.substack.com/ or connect with him on Twitter @thomasjb3van

We talk about "networking" in the digital age - how to add value to people's lives without being a try-hard, navigating in-groups, and embracing status games without abandoning your principles.

We start by asking ourselves what we would advise our kids do if we had them, then springboard into discussing what skills will be useful moving into the future, how to balance a physical vs digital life for your kids, and the changes we expect our education model will undergo as technology continues to make new things possible.

This week we talk Urbit, NFTs, the creator economy and JBP's new OnlyFans.

In our first episode we begin to lay out what it means to be "Sovereign" in the modern world - and how to determine when it is right for you to establish financial independence.
