Agorism

  • Agorist Class Theory - a left libertarian approach to class conflict analysis
  • Agorist Journal - AXXI amplifies dissonance and brings voices together from across the political spectrum. It is also a call for unity. AXXI resurrects the unifying vision of an agorist alliance beyond the surveillance state
  • An Agorist Primer - a comprehensive guidebook that explores the principles and practical aspects of agorism, a strategy for achieving a stateless society through peaceful market activities
  • An Argument Against KYC Bitcoin - presents a compelling case against the use of Know Your Customer (KYC) requirements in the Bitcoin ecosystem, discussing how it creates honeypots of user information and gives rise to a permissioned social system
  • Building a circular economy with Monero - the future belongs to digital marketplaces that run on private digital cash. Anarkio explains why he built Bitejo and why he is into Monero
  • How Monero Uniquely Enables Circular Economies - explores how Monero, a privacy-focused cryptocurrency, has distinct characteristics that make it particularly well-suited for enabling circular economies
  • Its Time To Join The Bitcoin Circular Economy - free men dont ask permission to transact with each other and dont rely on the legacy third-party financial institutions that operate in tandem with State authorities
  • KYC-free Bitcoin Circular Economies - KYC-free bitcoin circular economies are perhaps the most pure free markets in the world, enabled by the first truly free sound money
  • New Libertarian Manifesto - a concise and influential guide outlining the principles of agorism, a libertarian philosophy advocating for the practice of counter-economics
  • The Last, Whole Introduction to Agorism - Agorism, unfortunately, needs an introduction...

Crypto Anarchy

  • Fifty things to do NOW - the following is a highly valuable list of 50 things to do NOW, taken from the terrific crypto-agorist website, Anarplex. Find out what YOU can do RIGHT NOW to help build the Second Realm/counter-economy/vonu minicultures
  • How to buy, earn and spend KYC-free Bitcoin and Monero (without ID or a bank account) - discover methods for purchasing, acquiring, and using Bitcoin and Monero without the need for KYC (Know Your Customer) verification
  • How to survive outside of the state with Crypto Agorism - fair and free markets for food, jobs, housing, healthcare, mail, sim cards & more no government ID or state permit required
  • KYC Will Not Protect Us, Bitcoin And Encryption Will - as regulators attempt to institute KYC and AML rules at the peril of our personal data, Bitcoin and encryption offer salvation.
  • Roadblocks to obtaining government-issued ID - state's ID monopoly and KYC regulations stop millions from accessing necessities like finances, jobs, healthcare, and more. No alternative methods or appeal processes exist if the state refuses to issue an ID. This exclusionary system prevents individuals, regardless of skills or efforts, from entering and regularizing their situation as adults
  • Second Realm Ideas - a collection of Second Realm ideas (KYC-free agorist services)
  • The Aristocracy of Action - what it will take to build a cypherpunk breakaway society
  • The dangers of “decentralized” ID systems - many of these protocols rely on government ID as a base layer (as proof of name, age or address, referred to as “Verifiable credentials”). In this system, users are required to upload a video with their passport or national ID card. After this, their name, age or address is marked as verified. This reliance on government IDs means that DIDs cannot protect users against state surveillance
  • The rarely discussed dangers of KYC and what you can do about it - many people don't talk about it but unfortunately it's everywhere. Without KYC documents, opportunities to freely participate in the economy and even survive are limited. KYC is required for jobs, housing, healthcare and more. In addition, many people can't complete KYC, as they don't have any government-issued IDs and therefore must rely on the gray market to have access to necessities such as finding work, apartments and medicine. This text clarifies the rarely discussed reasons why KYC is harmful and what can be done about it.
  • The Vision of Cryptoanarchy - Talk given at "The Web of Phronesis" in 2020, a conference by the Institute of Network Society, China Academy of Art.
  • True Names Not Required: On Identity and Pseudonymity in Cyberspace - the cypherpunks recognized that a free society can not function if identity is rigid and known to all. A free society requires the option to selectively reveal yourself to the world, or not reveal yourself at all
  • Why cryptoanarchy is not a revolutionary movement - an interview describing how cryptoanarchy is about building parallel systems on top of existing power structures
  • Why the states monopoly on identity is more dangerous than Google, Facebook and Microsoft - while the tracking by Google, Facebook and Microsoft is definitely disturbing and can even put people in danger, the states data economy is even worse. Many people dont talk about this, even though it affects millions of peoples daily lives
