Sal and Mark - EP 22 Oct 02, 2026

Show notes

No studio this week, but plenty to talk about. Sal checks in from lunch in Florida on his way to Prague, where he's speaking at Dark Prague on agorism and crypto anarchy. First up, the hard news: Zano and Freedom Dollar were hit by an inflation bug exploit, and the fix meant rolling the chain back 30 days. Sal doesn't sugarcoat it. He explains why the rollback will cost trust with cypherpunks who value immutability, why some investors may actually see it as a plus, and why Zano's core value of private tokenizable assets isn't going anywhere. Freedom Dollar has held its peg thanks to heavy over-collateralization, and several privacy projects, including Firo and Quai, reached out to help. Sal also breaks down why NEAR flagging a transaction tied to the Bitget hack should concern anyone who values permissionless money, and why he points to THORChain as the alternative. Then a preview of his Prague talk, "Agorism and the Quantum Leap," built around three tools for going dark: privacy coins paired with non-KYC debit cards, 3D printing as a way around prohibition, and confidential assets that let you wrap coins like Bitcoin into Zano's privacy layer. Plus a short clip from Cypherpunk Week in Amsterdam, where Sal asked some of the biggest names in crypto and liberty what one tool they use to live free. In the second half, Mark Edge is joined by Jody Underwood of Education Options (EdOpt) to talk school choice in New Hampshire. They cover tuition-free charter schools, Education Freedom Accounts, runaway school spending, and why the families who could benefit most are often the hardest to reach.

Sal the Agorist is back with Jack sitting in for Mark Edge. First up is Alan Orwick, co-founder of Quai Network, who talks about what the team has been working on, including Qi, a coin tied to energy that's meant to be spent like cash. John Bush joins next and tells the story of how he got Flock cameras taken down in his Texas town. He also talks about Exit and Build 6, November 5th through 8th in Bandera, Texas, where Sal will be helping people set up their first private crypto wallets. Later, Sal goes through the Revolut data leak, where the company gave customer passports and selfies to someone pretending to be the government, and talks about how he saw mass tokenization coming back in 2019.

Mark is away this week, so his son Jack steps in for his first show with Sal. Sal goes through the backlash to his viral "Islam is a natural ally of libertarianism" tweet and answers his critics. Then we play Sal's talk to a room of cypherpunks in Amsterdam, covering agorism, the counter-economy, Ross Ulbricht, and the privacy tools you can use today. After that, Mark Edge sits down with David D. Friedman, author of The Machinery of Freedom, to talk about private law and arbitration, why you can't opt out of the criminal justice system, plea bargains and wrongful convictions, the Chicago School, and his decades in the Society for Creative Anachronism and the Pennsic War.
