“As the world becomes borderless for us remote workers and people with borderless money...we don’t see the borders anymore; and because of that the borders will start to fall.”
— Katie The Russian

SHOW DESCRIPTION

Location: Remotely
Date: Monday 19th July
Project: Plan B Passport
Role: Founder

Bitcoin and libertarianism go hand in hand. As such, avoiding tax and limiting reliance on the government is a significant goal for many bitcoiners. Plan B Passport, a company set up with bitcoiners in mind, aims to make that happen, and through their work, they want to accelerate the 'Sovereign Individual' thesis.

By enabling people to obtain a second passport and removing their dependency on any single state, it empowers the individual while taking power away from governments. People can now vote with their money and their feet.

So how easy is it to obtain a second passport, and what are the pros and cons?

In this interview, I talk to Plan B Passport Founder, Katie the Russian. We discuss flag theory, the state as a service provider, why some nation-states will fail to compete in a free market and how Bitcoin enables all of this.
