I talk with Nathan Seiuli, Outreach and Events Coordinator at the Free Speech Union in New Zealand.
Over the past few years, it’s become evident that many New Zealanders are both unaware of how vital freedom of speech is, and how dangerous some of the moves are to exclude its protections.
We talk about the work the Free Speech Union is doing in New Zealand, including campaigns to promote debate and critical thinking in schools, providing feedback and advice to government, and calling out actions that infringe upon freedom of speech.
We also talk about how technology such as Bitcoin and Nostr can provide protection for Freedom of speech and freedom of expression.

I host the Kiwi Bitcoin Builders monthly catchup for May 2024. There was just a few of us this time talking about running our own Bitcoin Lightning nodes, self Sovereign AI, silent payments, PayNyms and more.
Cecilia Macaulay is a permaculture designer from Australia. We discuss what permaculture means, her story, and how aspects of Bitcoin thinking have entered into her practice. We talk about the State as a predator in the ecosystem of humanity as well as the importance of cleaning up your house and building social capital and communities, especially when times get tough.
I talk with Oscar Merry, co-founder of Fountain, one of the most popular Podcasting 2.0 apps. We talk about the future of open podcasting and breaking out from the walled gardens of big tech, how the Bitcoin Lightning Network can enable streaming value directly to content creators, and we also discuss some of the upcoming features that the Fountain team are working on.
