Anyone else in the greater Louisville, Kentucky area?


"The powers of financial capitalism had another far-reaching aim, nothing less than to create a world system of financial control in private hands able to dominate the political system of each country and the economy of the world as a whole. This system was to be controlled in a feudalist fashion by the central banks of the world acting in concert, by secret agreements arrived at in frequent meetings and conferences. The apex of the systems was to be the Bank for International Settlements in Basel, Switzerland, a private bank owned and controlled by the world's central banks which were themselves private corporations. Each central bank...sought to dominate its government by its ability to control Treasury loans, to manipulate foreign exchanges, to influence the level of economic activity in the country, and to influence cooperative politicians by subsequent economic rewards in the business world."

About the closest you'll find so far is me, as part of the greater Nashville, TN area.

Obviously, we're too dispersed to have a local bitcoin economy. But I think we could advertise and get people in certain area to use bitcoins though. Specifically, I am thinking of a town in New Hampshire with lot of agorists in it.

Edit: fix missing adjective.

ta,

Using the town market model, you could have business model to do arbitrage. What is not so highly valued valued in one town may be highly valued in another town. Using that knowledge, you could profit the difference.

You still need heavy concentration of bitcoin users in towns and cities though.

What town would that be?

Hmm, you could even set up a logistic company that ferry goods between Keene and Grafton. I think somebody in both Keene and Grafton must first promote bitcoins amongst the libertarian crowd.

Be careful not to confuse your ideologies.  Libertarianism and agorism are closely related, but they are not the same thing.  Generally speaking, agorists are libs who have dropped the 'live and let live' non-aggression principle in favor of an intentionally subversive market stragedy with the intent of 'starving the beast'.

I don't think that's quite right. Most libs will vote and advocate for politicians to rule over us, they just want nicer, less intrusive ones.

Agorists actually do live and let live and this will have the effect of "starving the beast". It is not aggressive to avoid aggressive people.

Agorists are anarchists who don't think voting will work. So they advocate subversive but nonviolent and beneficial behaviors.

Has anyone thought that bitcoin deserves its own ism?

I call it crypto-agorism .... using crytpography to cut out the need for the state to protect your property ie your cash.

There should be a wiki page for it.... but they may delete it because no-one has used the term before  lol

I'm having trouble parsing that. You say agorists do think voting will work? Or just that this isn't a good enough distinguishing characteristic from libertarians? I agree that some libertarians don't believe voting is good if that's all you mean.
