Sterlin is an amazing guy and truly carries the crypto and AnCap flags high.

It's always great to see these conversations between friends.

Yup, very well said!!

Amazing interview. Sterlin is the man!

Great people... see you out there one day .. Lasse

Awesome!

Haha..watched Stefan before he turned into a fascist..(NOT AN ARGUMENT!) love it :) I was kinda think the same lately although I think he has good arguments still. But yeah, Stefan is sort of turning into a cranky old cult leader.

Sterlins story on how we got into this whole thing is literally exactly like mine and probably so many others. It's funny how similar we think these days thanks to social media and information for everyone. We're just turning into clones of each other! I don't have such a cool stache though.

Love your channel too @heiditravels. Good stuff.

Long time fan of Stefan Molyneux but I agree that his work before the Trump era was way better. Not sure I'd call him a fascist though. He has some great content. Likewise for Peter Josef and his Culture in Decline series ;)

Yeah, I still love Molly. :) I like everyone who challenges norms and ideas. I even like Richard Spencer..why not? He's not violent. The only thing I don't tolerate is violence and force :)

More explanations...

I'm on my phone right now, but I'm definitely giving this a look when I'm back on my home wifi!

What are your views on anarchism?

Alright, I watched it. His tone was a bit sanctimonious for me, the sort of self-righteous and condescending note that I expect from folks who subscribe to ideologies wholesale. That being said, he was also clearly intelligent, and had a way cool accent. Heck, that guy sounds more southern than I do (and I've spent my whole life in Texas).

I really liked your question at the end about what he asks to get people to reconsider their perspective. I think that question in itself was the best part of the interview, Heidi. That being said, I definitely plan on checking out one or two of the more interesting sounding cryptocurrencies that he was talking about.

Nice - great interview

haha , lets see if we get Molyneux on Steemit :D

He is on Steemit :) And its his legit account.

LOL! Changed into a fascist? No, no, no... he always was one and acting like he was not. That's not a belief you simply pick up along the path towards complete individual liberty. You had that belief the whole trip, and you just didn't get exposed for having it at first.

The profit we make along the path is not what's important. The objective is. I'd give up every dime I have and will ever make if it meant the world was more free after I physically die. My vision is maximizing individual liberty, so all efforts towards that ultimate goal are a good thing.

Monero is as anonymous and robust as ZenCash? That's news to me. I'll look into it further. The problem with crypto coins is that a better one may come along at any moment. It's hard to stay the "king" of liberty's top crypto for that reason.

Well said about consent and voluntary interaction. It's not that complicated. Is it voluntary? Everyone is a consenting adult? That's a beautiful thing, but a lot of people still struggle with the concepts.

Thanks for the quality interview, friends!

Why is he a fascist?

I know the definition changes from person to person, but I'm referring to people being collectivists and having beliefs that basically justify means for the ends. For example, people support rulers or governments for the "greater good" or because they are racists and want "those other people" kept under control. They are elitists and feel they are better than other people. He went full collectivist last I understood and started justifying all sorts of control "for the greater good." That's not consistent and counter to individual liberty. Either you support individual liberty, or you do not. I don't need a ruler, and I don't need control systems. No one does. If someone wants one, they need to leave me out of it. :)
