“First off, I haven’t seen Jeff in a few years. He comes over and says, “Yo, what’s up?” We’re talking, and I’m looking at him thinking, holy crap, you look ten years younger. I mean, seriously. I’ll put up a picture here. This is Jeff now, he looks like a teenager. My God.” That’s how my interview with Ernest Hancock kicked off, before (in his words) he let me ‘monologue us all to hell’.  Pretty funny… and, who am I to disappoint!?  In today’s interview with Ernest we basically discuss everything under the sun, including,  The continuous attacks on Anarchapulco as the event evolves from a hardcore anarcho capitalist conference with lots of black t-shirts and lots of presentations about central banking theft and government corruption into a broader gathering about freedom, truth, personal transformation, community building, and creating decentralized ways of living outside traditional power structures. Those conversations were necessary at the time. But something interesting happened over the years. Once people understand the system is broken, yelling about it stops being enough. The real question becomes what do we do next.  And, I will do my best to answer that question in today’s interview.  We also discuss the future of crypto (especially privacy coins), and why you need to distrust centralized systems like governments and banks and here I want to emphasize that if you weren’t able to catch the Crypto Vigilante Summit live, which happened on the same day they put on the false flag ‘terror attack’ in Puerto Vallarta, DO NOT MISS THE REPLAYS! The TDV Summit Replays will also be available soon, and I suggest you sign up for the TDV newsletter for more information on how to make money while there’s blood in the streets. It’s arguably the best anarcho-capitalist newsletter in the world right now and you can access it for less than $20 a month. It’s a no-brainer, really.  My story doesn’t start at Anarchapulco, but it has played a big part in my own journey of self-transformation over the last decade.   In Puerto Vallarta last month, people like Ernest (a speaker at the event) who had not seen me in a few years noticed it right away this year. I look healthier. Younger even. That did not happen by accident. I stopped drinking alcohol years ago. I cleaned up my diet. I started exercising regularly. I spent years doing deep meditation and serious self work. I also experimented with things like hyperbaric oxygen, saunas, cold plunges and other health technologies. I use a TZLA plasma machine that seems to dramatically increase cellular energy. Whether people believe in the technology or not, I can tell you the results have been incredible for me. I feel better and stronger than I did many years ago. At the same time Anarchapulco itself has evolved.  It is no longer just about anarcho capitalism or politics. The event now blends conversations about consciousness, healing, decentralization, crypto privacy, alternative history and spiritual awakening. We have speakers discussing everything from AI control systems to meditation to the hidden structures behind world events.  The audience has changed as well. This year we saw a more international and mature group of people. Many are entrepreneurs, homesteaders, investors or researchers who are actively building alternatives to the centralized systems around us. Crypto is still a huge part of the conversation, but my perspective has changed over the years. I was one of the earliest people recommending Bitcoin back when it was around three dollars. Back then many of us believed it could become peer to peer cash for the entire world and break the power of central banks. Around 2017 it b
