We are here to help you along your Bitcoin journey. It's an education platform, mainly Giacomo is a

12
00:01:26,740 --> 00:01:32,660
bit of a Bitcoin OG. Most people know him. I'm actually currently in the process of writing an

13
00:01:32,660 --> 00:01:51,300
educational syllabus for Plan B Network about free cities of course So if you listening to this in the future sometime check out their website which is planb if you want to study free cities with yours truly and there should actually be a video of me teaching

14
00:01:51,300 --> 00:01:58,960
it looks like it'll be 12 lectures anyway a quick summary of the episode so that you can decide

15
00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:06,580
whether or not to dive in and this time fountain.fm's ai nailed it first time summary in this

00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:42,580
bit we chat about seasteading. I didn't know this, but Giacomo was a seasteader back in the day.

22
00:02:43,220 --> 00:02:48,820
I think I might have got him back into it anyway. Sounds good to me. This should serve as a pretty

23
00:02:48,820 --> 00:02:54,920
good overall explainer about the current Free Cities space and its Bitcoin integration.

24
00:02:54,920 --> 00:03:01,160
fortunately Giacomo asks some intelligent questions which always helps sorry for the

25
00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:08,300
croaky voice and general shouting by me I really do have to work on my online interview game I will

26
00:03:08,300 --> 00:03:14,360
