The Free Cities Movement with Peter Young (WiM334)

Peter Young joins me to discuss the development of autonomous administrative areas around the world called ‘free cities’, where new types of governance can be offered to citizens outside the control of existing states, and how this project correlates with Bitcoin.

Peter is the managing director of the Free Cities Foundation.
