Financial Surveillance and the State
Financial surveillance is triangular intervention. The state forces banks to watch customers, and CBDCs strip the buffer entirely.
Money and Privacy
Money emerges by market process. Sound money carries privacy alongside its three classical functions; fiat lacks all four.
Privacy as Capital
Privacy tools are capital that compounds across uses; institutional promises last only as long as state goodwill does.
The Economic Value of Privacy
Privacy aids exchange by guarding deliberation and negotiation from observation that chills marginal trades and distorts the rest.
Sleep in a Net
Mexican matrimonial hammocks beat beds for comfort and free the whole room when unhooked. Sleep diagonally, flat back, anywhere on earth.
Information, Scarcity, and Property
Property rights apply to scarce things. Information is non-scarce, so privacy stands on self-ownership, owned media, and contract.
Chapter 5: The Axiom of Resistance
Systems can be designed to resist external control. The claim rests on computational hardness and the record of deployed tools.
Licensed To Exist
When your identity is a credential the government can revoke, your rights have already become licenses. When your money is programmable and state-issued, your freedom to dissent has a price tag the state can set to infinity. When your face is the key to your own bank account, your body is no longer your property, it is state infrastructure. Digital ID, CBDCs, and the quiet war on cash are not separate policy initiatives. They are three components of a single architecture
Chapter 4: The Argumentation Axiom and Self-Ownership
To argue is to presuppose control of body and mind. Coerced surveillance breaks that presupposition and counts as aggression.
Chapter 3: The Action Axiom: Privacy as Structural Feature
Privacy is built into the structure of human action. Deliberation and the asymmetry between actor and observer are structural.

Chapter 2: Two Traditions, One Conclusion
Austrian deduction and cypherpunk code reach the same privacy conclusion from opposite directions. Their agreement is evidence.
Where Do You Want to Wake Up Tomorrow
Forty thousand forest parking spots across Europe, auto-discovered from open map data, scored for silence, isolation, and trees. Free download below.
The Great Confiscation
The European Commission has produced a sophisticated, technically accomplished, and morally catastrophic document. Its wealth taxation proposals are the revenue strategies of governments facing sovereign insolvency, dressed in the language of fairness to avoid the political cost of honesty. The EU's wealth tax agenda is the system's last serious attempt to extract maximum value from citizens before the collapse it created arrives. Bitcoin is the exit.
Chapter 1: The Nature of Privacy
Privacy is control over disclosure. Observation cost decides if any targeted intervention runs, and cypherpunk tools raise it.
The Praxeology of Privacy: Endorsements, Foreword, Preface
Third edition, joining Austrian economics and cypherpunk engineering on what privacy is, why it survives, and how to defend it.
Financial Repression and the March Toward Serfdom
The Dutch government just declared war on private capital and most Europeans don't even know it yet. The Netherlands' Box 3 reform imposes a 36% tax on unrealized gains across stocks, bonds, and crypto, forcing ordinary citizens to liquidate real assets to pay for paper profits they haven't made. The sophisticated wealthy will restructure offshore but the schoolteacher with an index fund will not. What follows is an indictment of one of the most destructive fiscal policies in modern European history and a defiant blueprint for how free people can build their way out of it.
The Engineering Choice Between Complicated and Complex
Bitcoin converts a complex monetary problem into a complicated protocol, absorbing irreducible uncertainty into deterministic rules any node operator can verify.
