The real key to making a better world if you care about it is doing the work on yourself.
Jeff Berwick
Jeff Berwick founded The Dollar Vigilante (TDV) in 2010 with Ed Bugos. He is a prominent speaker at many freedom, investment and cryptocurrency conferences including his own event, Anarchapulco, in Mexico.
I’ve been invited to Anarchapulco, but have been unable to go (yet).
His website still refers to him as an ‘anarcho-capitalist and libertarian’, but as he notes in our conversation, his views have evolved into something more nuanced, without a one-word label.
I can relate to that as I, too, am no longer defined by simplistic descriptors anymore, largely thanks to the COVID™ event. For example, despite what Wikipedia or mainstream journalists claim, I am not ‘far right’, ‘alt right’, or [insert label].
Or I could be [insert label], but let’s define the terms first, shall we? (Plot twist: they never actually define the terms.)
Also, who even says ‘alt right’ anymore? It’s not 2019, bro. 🤣
The only real prison is fear, and the only real freedom is freedom from fear.

A funny segue is Jeff’s story about the time, a few years ago, when he gatecrashed Epstein’s Island.
He and his friends were drunk and in the area, so, you know, why not?
The way to get started is to quit talking and begin doing.
