Strategies for Liberty: Free Cities & Bitcoin

Many of us already firmly believe that liberty is one of the most important political goals. However, controversies quickly arise when it comes to the best strategies to achieve more liberty in our lifetime.

In this book, Alex Voss makes the case that Free Cities and Bitcoin are among the most powerful tools we have to meaningfully enhance liberty. Importantly, the synergies between these two tools make them exceptionally powerful in their potential to free us from today's legacy systems.

"As the world's leading expat consultant who's navigated the complexities of global governance and financial systems for over 2 decades, I've seen firsthand the limitations imposed on personal and economic freedom by our current system.

'Strategies for Liberty: Free Cities and Bitcoin' is a revelation, a game-changing playbook for anyone who's ever considered there must be a better way to live freely in today's world.

In these pages my friend, Alex Voss, expertly dissects two powerful mechanisms that can serve as alternatives to traditional systems—Bitcoin and Free Cities.

I've been around the globe and have seen the flaws in centralized monetary policy; Bitcoin is posed to disrupt that space. In a similar vein, the book explores the potential of Free Cities as living labs for innovation and liberty.

'This book doesn't just theorize; it provides a pragmatic pathway for anyone looking to escape the limitations of conventional systems."

"As the author and creator of Free Private Cities (FPCs), I've long championed the idea that FPCs could serve as the future of governance creating the market for living together. 'Strategies for Liberty": Free Cities and Bitcoin' by my friend and colleague Alex Voss, takes this concept and pairs it expertly with the power of Bitcoin. In particular, Bitcoin serves to limit the boom-and-bust cycle and disincentivize attacks against the residents and companies in the FPC. Finally, Bitcoin offers a permissionless monetary network allowing FPCs to trade globally. This book is a must-read for anyone who sees the synergy between financial sovereignty and localized, autonomous and contractual governance as the next frontier for individual liberty."

"Strategies for Liberty is an engaging exploration of two important tools for advancing liberty: Bitcoin and Free Cities. Voss paints a compelling picture of a world where a network of freely cooperating Free Cities is able to flourish and achieve economic stability by having Bitcoin serve as a monetary base layer. The book explores the fascinating interplay between the two topics. As the managing director of the Free Cities Foundation and a consultant for Bitcoin firms, I have long seen the Bitcoin and Free Cities movements as complementary. By examining these two topics in tandem, "Strategies for Liberty" makes an important contribution."

"Berkshire Hathaway vice chairman Charlie Munger famously said “Show me the incentive, and I will show you the outcome.”

Although some of the ideas exposed here may be slightly beyond Munger’s grasp, Strategies for Liberty is a great handbook on both Bitcoin and Free Private Cities because it paints a clear and concise picture of the complex incentive structures underlying both in contrast with the misaligned incentives that plague contemporary models.

Within this book lies both the ideal blueprint for Nayib Bukele’s promised Bitcoin City in El Salvador, as well as a much greater vision for a world that will become freer and more prosperous one city at a time."
