An Open Letter to Crypto-Wealthy Libertarians, Voluntarists, and Anarchists
With $1 trillion market cap for all cryptocurrency on the horizon, it's pretty clear a bunch of voluntarist/anarchists/libertarians have access to unprecedented wealth - if not now, very soon.
If achieving liberty in your lifetime is important to you and you have now found yourself with, or will very soon (if the prices keep rising) have access to more wealth than you have ever had access to, or could have imagined having, now is the time that you should seriously consider a couple of options:

Start planning your move to New Hampshire, ASAP, to join the largest concentration of liberty-minded people on earth. Many of whom are very active and having success in changing the status quo both inside and outside the system. The state is still a state, but for what it's worth, NH's state this year exempted crypto-only business from money transmitter statutes. Crypto-libertarians were the ones moving this legislation forward. (New Hampshire has a bunch of principled libertarians in its state house, unlike other states.)
(More liberty-minded people like you have moved to New Hampshire than anywhere else in the world.)
Lots of things were already made possible just by bringing libertarians together to the same geographic area in real life, (as has been happening here for well over a decade) but now thanks to crypto, the game is set to change big time in the next five years. Besides the obvious ability to better fund political campaigns and other inside-the-system action, once the total crypto market cap goes up another 10x or 100x, outright buying existing mainstream media (TV, radio, print) should be possible, in addition to funding an army of attorneys to help crush the state in their own courts. I'm sure you can think of some cool possibilities that concentrating crypto-wealthy libertarian activists together can achieve!
Thousands have already moved and are thousands more are planning to move. Here are 101 reasons why you should:
If you can't move, please fund the New Hampshire-based libertarian activism you like with your crypto. You may not be able to move because of family or career or whatever, but if New Hampshire succeeds (and we've already begun) at achieving liberty, it will be a beacon to the world that freedom works. You can help that happen even without moving. Nearly every libertarian activism group/project accepts cryptocurrency in New Hampshire.
If you find activism you like happening here, please send them funding. Not everyone here was lucky or wise enough to invest in cryptocurrency as soon as you did but they all know its value now and would love to collect more of it and use it to defeat the state. If you don't already know some great groups to which you can donate, here are a few who are the most active:
Foundation for New Hampshire Independence
Free Keene
Free State Bitcoin Shoppe
Free State Project
Free Talk Live
Libertarian Party of NH
Liberty Lobby
LRN.FM
New Hampshire Liberty Alliance
NH Copblock
NH Jury
Pax Libertas Productions
Shire Free Church
This is by no means an exhaustive list. If you'd like to meet some of your future neighbors and others who are planning a move, please visit the Shire Forums at http://forum.shiresociety.com
Come on up and visit and bring your crypto wallet because you can actually spend your cryptocurrency in real life here. You may want to connect with the various crypto-meetup groups while you're here. Please use the Shire Forum to reach out and let us know you're coming up.

This sounds a lot easier than getting to Liberland. And a lot closer.
Yes @Ponts, and it has a long track record of success already.
Interesting post. I had no idea that New Hampshire was so chilled out. I didn't realise this existed in the States. I spend a lot of time in a very relaxed area of Spain, which operates mostly on live and let live principles. In fact, Spain as a whole operated for over a year without a ruling central government and it was one of the best years they'd ever had, unsurprisingly!
Even the state motto is "live free or die".
Perfect!
I appreciate cryptocurrencies because as you said they're a means to defeat the state and a method in creating a more decentralized world. I have come to value cryptocurrencies over the last several months once I began to understand how they work and what a difference they can make on how people view money as well as a way to become more independent and self sufficient. Also, I'd love to visit New Hampshire one day, I've never been and need to meet more libertarians and voluntaryists!
The community we have here is unmatched. Post when you plan to visit at http://forum.shiresociety.com
Thanks @ftlian! I will check out your forum and let you know when I can attend! Have a great weekend and I look forward to reading more of your content here on Steemit!
I will consider this. But currently my portfolio is very small. If it really goes more than 30x then everything is possible.
You don't have to wait to move up here and be more free immediately. As soon as you cross the border, you no longer have to wear a seatbelt, or bike helmet.
Sounds good
As a left libertarian, I support giving all the right libertarians the chance to enjoy the real world consequences of the policies they espouse.
decentralized currency is cool and all. Is anyone working on a legitimate mesh-network for decentralized internet? What are the best projects out there.
There has been idle talk about that for many years. Maybe you could come here and lead that effort?
ftlian thank you for all of your comments. They are insightful.
I would think that decentralized communication would be priority?
It's a huge way to start aggregating capital and to avoid the biggest invasion of privacy, your phone.
Since people already pay way more money than is needed to keep and maintain a communications network, If done right the extra money could go towards a software development effort which could develop software for current devices to make them much more private. Then there would be no need for ads or to control your content.
Essentially buy out the local communications companies and turn each branch into a local association. Then set free the engineers from those companies on optimizing the network for the end user and not the moneyed interests. Use something like Steem-It modified to pay the engineers for making the network and devices faster at receiving and sending the data they want to send/receive.
I am from Massachusetts originally, so I have really come to appreciate New Hampshire since moving here in 2012. I am glad to see you on steemit Ian! I have followed several of your channels over the years, such as the free Keene channel on youtube, free state. Awesome content, let's all keep putting these corrupt buracrats in their place!
