If you believe that agorism is required to replace the state with market anarchism, then it behooves you to immerse yourself in the world of Bitcoin. Bitcoin is spearheading the voluntary marketplace in ways never before seen. Consider the Global Bitcoin Stock Exchange.

The Agorist Stock Market
Thursday, May 17th, 2012 Submitted by Seth KingJobs Trump Freedom
Thursday, May 10th, 2012 Submitted by Seth King
You’ve heard the defense uttered many times before: “I was just doing my job.” It’s a quote that infuriates lovers of liberty and justice and is often the refuge of scoundrels. But it tells us something important about human nature that should not be missed by activists; jobs are more important to people than freedom. And if you think that is only the case for corrupt police and military, think again. It is true for the great many of us, including anarchists. The sooner we understand this near-universal human characteristic the better we can focus our activist energies.
The Bitcoin Learning Curve
Monday, April 30th, 2012 Submitted by Seth KingIt’s true that Daily Anarchist has seemingly transformed into the Daily Bitcoin blog. I’ve begun migrating my sponsors to Bitcoin advertising platforms. I’ve kicked out Paypal as an accepted form of payment for my store’s merchandise, choosing to only accepting Bitcoin. I pay my contributors in Bitcoin instead of the Dollar. And many of our articles focus on exciting developments in the Bitcoin economy. But it’s all for good reason. Bitcoin is the global currency of the future. It empowers the market in a way like never before and has afforded me a great deal of independence. I look forward to the day when I have completely replaced the Dollar with Bitcoin.
I am sure Daily Anarchist has many readers who are not tech savvy. And I am sure that upon first glance Bitcoin looks overwhelming. The effort put into learning about Bitcoin far outweighs the benefits. Fortunately, there is a new set of very short videos that will not only break down Bitcoin for the lay person, but will help him or her understand how great the benfits of Bitcoin are. These are a work in progress and I will attempt to add new videos to this article as they are created. Consider using this page as an outreach tool. Enjoy!
The World Tomorrow With Julian Assange Premieres
Tuesday, April 17th, 2012 Submitted by Seth KingHaving been under house arrest for some time, Assange has decided to produce weekly interviews with global movers and shakers. It’s no surprise to me that RT has decided to air this series. The state-funded Russian news station has an ironically libertarian bent and prides itself on its contradistinction to the mainstream media. Enjoy this first of many interviews to come!
Many Austrians Are Wrong About Peak Oil Theory
Monday, April 9th, 2012 Submitted by Seth King
Time and again I read Austrian School economists dissing Peak Oil Theory. They likely do this because they have not taken the time to fully understand the theory behind peak oil. Instead, they get caught up in the doom and gloom predictions made by many proponents of Peak Oil Theory and the erroneous calls for some sort of government intervention to alleviate the matter. The problem with this dismissive attitude, however, is that by not acknowledging the validity of Peak Oil Theory, the Austrians lose legitimacy in the eyes of a large percentage of the population, namely the environmental left.
Former Fed Economist Plugs Bitcoin
Monday, March 26th, 2012 Submitted by Seth KingForbes has also run a series(1,2,3) of articles extolling the virtues of Bitcoin.
I’m always pleased to see Bitcoin receiving mainstream attention and bringing traditionally opposed parties together in the economic realm. Most Bitcoin users aren’t anarchists(and sadly most anarchists are not Bitcoin users). But many of its enthusiasts are being exposed to the Non-aggression principle in Bitcoin forums where other anarchists are quick to defend the natural consequences of private and anonymous money transfers – increased civil and economic liberties and the necessary breakdown of the state.
If you consider yourself an anarchist Bitcoin is arguably the most efficient way to convince die-hard statists that government is on the endangered species list. And this makes sense. Money is what makes the world go ’round. If we can convert the planet to free-market money the rest will follow suit.
Franconia, New Hampshire
Monday, February 13th, 2012 Submitted by Seth King
At last! My wife and I have finally made it to the part of New Hampshire where we’ve long wanted to live. Before leaving California in the middle of summer, last year, the goal was to move to Grafton County where the population is sparse and the mountains and trees abound.
Free State Project Reaches 1000 Early Movers
Tuesday, January 31st, 2012 Submitted by Seth King
Today, the Free State Project has achieved five percent of its goal to get twenty thousand liberty-minded individuals to move to the state of New Hampshire. These early movers, including myself, decided that they couldn’t wait to reap the rewards of living in close proximity to many of the world’s most die-hard libertarian activists. At the time of this writing there are nearly twelve thousand participants, or more than half, of the people necessary to spark a mass migration of libertarians to the “Live Free or Die” state.
If you’re uncomfortable with the lack of freedom in your life or the direction things are headed in your locality, consider moving to a state that liberty lovers are moving to, instead of fleeing from. I can attest to the many opportunities, both social and financial, that await you in New Hampshire. Sign up today!
Dr. Paul’s Limited Potential
Tuesday, January 17th, 2012 Submitted by Seth King
As I sat and watched tonight’s GOP Presidential debate in South Carolina it became clear to me that despite much greater name recognition than four years prior, Congressman Ron Paul’s message of non-interventionism will continue to fall on deaf ears. As a minarchist this phenomena was both infuriating and incomprehensible. As an anarchist, however, it makes perfect sense.
The Value Of Aggression
Saturday, November 26th, 2011 Submitted by Seth King
Imagine you and another person squaring off in a game of poker. Now pretend that your style of play is generally aggressive, whereas your opponent is generally defensive. When the action is upon your opponent he will only apply passive measures, such as checking and calling bets. You, however, choose the aggressive strategy of betting. Over the long hall the aggressive player is almost surely to be the victor by a large margin. The state, therefore, wisely values aggression as a long term stratagem.
