Fantastic work, Dave! I really enjoy your interviews and channel.
As a Chinese I was thinking about the famous idiom generated from the farmer story when I heard about Rogers prison history. And turned out he gave the story in later part of the interview, amazing.
I second all of the positive comments here. Thank you Dave and Roger! Sensational 👌
Poor Roger for getting nailed for political reasons. But as i grow older I actually notice that, spreading truthful information to make the world less information asymmetric is like standing in people’s way of making money. Because information (or lack there of) is what makes a lot of people rich.
Great interview

Amazing interview and I learn so much from people I’ve never heard of. You should interview Andrew Yang!
Thank you Dave that was a complex interview and you handled it very competently. You asked the awkward questions resulting in a well rounded informative relevant interview. It feels odd how much value I get from your channel as well as other KZread channels.
This was a great interview! nice to see Roger Ver back.
Amazing interview, filled with insight! Thank you Dave, and thank you Roger for sharing wisdom from your life experiences!
God damn Dave these interviews are amazing. You really have a great network to get these great talks and people's word out there
This interview is so underrated.
I really enjoyed this interview. Well done Dave!
Awesome interview. Amazing guest.
Dave, you need to interview Jack Dorsey. I bet he would sit down and talk to you.
I don't agree on all what Rogers say, however his pure conviction and believe makes me respect and like him a lot. He at least stays pure to his believes. Huge respect for that.
Dave, you're addictive! Yet another great interview. I've learnt a great deal! What a phenomenal year. Looking forward to another genius James D interview. May God bless!
Wow! Riveting, Thank you Roger for sharing. Dave, brilliant as always thank you

Very interesting think Peter Thiel would resonate with this, 100%
Get Elon on here Dave, you always ask great questions. We’d like to see a great questioner who is a true Tesla and Elon fan interview Elon. You’d ask all the right questions.
Just a fascinating interview. Thank you
Oh wow, super interesting chat.
Dave your videos are akin to a think tank. Fascinating. To say these discussions are strictly financial investment based is shortsighted. Thanks for the great content.
My girlfriend and I saw police men being responsible for a young man’s death. Next thing we know in the news paper, the story isn’t at ALL what we had seen. I talked about it and people told me to talk to the IGPN, the « police of the police » in France (which in reality, is just other policemen covering things up). They harassed us over and over again until we would change our deposition. My girlfriend ended up being scared and did what they wanted to. I couldn’t lie or bare to let alone an injustice like this so I didn’t budge. I ended judged and guilty with either 2 months of prison (remember, I’m a simple innocent citizen) or 105 hours of community service. I never used to say anything bad about the police. Let me tell you one thing, the place where human rights are the LEAST respected aren’t in bad neighborhoods, they’re inside police stations. I have seen things you would not believe. They are litteraly continued Stanford experiments. It has changed me. Made me hateful. Made me mad. Made me hate them all, because the good ones either don’t stay in this line of work, or end up being bad as well. I’m just one tiny exemple, some people have it way worse.
this is so intersting, Thank you both!
Amazing insight Roger. Thank you - Undeniably wrong that you had to go through that crap and happy you made it to were you are now. Strong man. Good on you. and not surprised you are where you are...HAHAHA yes I have been following that Nomad website for over a year now + aother one, the CDN guy...I am looking around also. Merry Christmas to you and yours.

Curious what Roger’s view would be for protecting citizens without police. For protection would he suggest vigilante groups? Gangs? Everybody bear their own arms like the Wild West?

Heres a playlist outlining mechanisms of arbitration between competing non-territorial law providing agencies kzread.info/head/PLoq3503aGbdcENRSUCHoUU9hNywYQrHgR It's similar to switching between ebay / amazon / aliexpress, if one service provider fails to resolve disputes between buyers and sellers faily you can choose a different one. It's also similar to the legal system that functioned in Icelandic Free State for some 400 years where competing chieftains arbitrated disputes. These are ideas of David Friedman, the economist Roger referenced.

Can’t speak for roger, but I would put money he would a-line with David Friedman The machinery of freedom. There’s a great 20 min clip on KZread to explain the position.
People who need the water still won’t get it. The difference is that instead of the first getting water only those who can afford it get water.
Would be great to hear you debrief your thoughts after interviewing somebody
41:37 hahaha i totally lost it
Great to know Roger's insights on BC and why he had it in the first place. But not very convinced about his thoughts on regulations (price interfere, etc). Over a couple of thousand of years, humans have changed from no countries, clearly less central control, to the current state with a great central control. This lets me think people are self-interested, thus honor systems will not work, and regulation is necessary to have society that could be fair for most of people. I think that gov regulations will not go away in the future, and decentralization is also not going away too. Some of kind of mix of both would be more practical.
What do you think of DESO, de-centralized social?
What a great episode Dave, this was enlightening! Thank you
I don’t necessarily agree with his analogy about the cause of the house in Santa Clara which is going for $2M vs. the $.5M a couple of decades ago being due to the deflation of the dollar over time. Real estate in California is out of control based more on supply and demand IMHO…
Hey Dave, I might be wrong here, but I’m guessing that you guys are going to have bring commentary to bear on “Don’t look Up”
he sold fireworks with usps. got 10 months...... justice system failed here
Roger why not use lightning network for payments.
Hello what's the best way to get started with trade cos I've been making my personal research for a while now and i still don't know how to start.

Would love to know his libertarian view on how you stop monopolies happening and prices therefore not controlled by "pure" market forces. This seems to me to be the biggest hole in the argument
@yes-vy6bn

the government creates monopolies with regulations paid for by the monopoly companies. monopolies are not natural, they are a perversion. think about how hard it is to start a bank with all the licensing and regulation. now you understand why the same banks have been around forever.

@@yes-vy6bn now think about Facebook and explain how government created that monopoly and how a libertarian system would prevent that. If the system is no better I don't see it taking hold. Certainly the market forces don't work in that instance as the "product" is free to the "customers" whilst the real product is the data sold to 3rd parties and to displace them you need bigger scale. The bottle of water examples are all well and good but never seem to accurately reflect the real world. Genuinely interested in what a better system would actually look like. Just can't see this working without it being properly stress tested. I also don't see how it would prevent "government" from reasserting itself, given that there would be by definition nothing to prevent that.
Let’s go BCH!!!!!
Wow
