Timothy Allen speaks with Knut Svanholm.

In this conversation we discuss the evolution of Bitcoin culture, security, and the balance between fear-based narratives and empowerment through self-sovereignty.

Knut highlights natural law, property rights, and the non-aggression principle, connecting these ideas to Bitcoin’s role as a tool for peaceful trade and communication.

The conversation also touches on AI’s limitations, personal responsibility within the Bitcoin community, and critiques of democracy versus trade-driven societies.

We also explore geopolitics, the erosion of freedom, and how Bitcoin offers hope, resilience, and emancipation for the individual.

Enjoy the conversation.
