We live in amazing times! Today's guest is using the block chain to register land in Ghana. Determining land ownership is a huge problem in the developing world. If you cannot determine who owns property you cannot have investment, growth, or security. Narigamba's com[any Bitland is solving the Tragedy of the Commons by using GPS coordinates and the blockchain to register land. The technology is being recognized by the government of Ghana and chances are the ledgers he has created will outlast the government of Ghana. He has already carried out a successful pilot project. His company has gained international recognition, and other communities around the world have expressed interest in using the blockchain to register land.  Links: Bitland Bitland FB http://narigamba.blogspot.com/ Are you a blockchain devloper?

    Mike and Shell DiBaggio are a Husband and Wife writer and illustrator team. Together they have created the Ascension Epoch a shared universe of adventure fiction. It is built on both original elements and public domain sources.  Some of the elements of their fiction are about how a voluntary and decentralized world would operate. Sometimes its easier to accept an idea after we see it play out in a fictional world. The two books we focus on are "House of Refuge" an award winning book the takes place around a Seastead and a private lifesaving service; and "Salmander Six" a private fire fighting service. We discuss Seasteading, superheroes, private defense, copy rights, and public domain literature.  Links: House of Refuge Salamander Six Ascension Epoch

  Welcome to the Free Cities Podcast!  Our mission statement at the Free Cities Podcast is to produce a weekly podcast with examples of people moving towards freedom and away from force. Most of our episodes will consist of interviews with people who are actively involved in this peaceful transition, or historical examples of people who have moved towards a freer society. Decentralization is a huge component of moving people towards more freedom so, some of our episodes will look at the growing trend of decentralization in business and how flatter structures can result in better feedback and better products. Peaceful voluntary co-operation between individuals has been responsible for the enormous growth in human prosperity, and we believe that markets can and do provide services better than governments can.
