Bitcoin Takes Porcfest 2012

BitcoinBitinstant.com‘s Erik Voorhees (also a Free State Project mover to the Seacoast) blogs about his experience at Porcfest 2012:

PorcFest (short for Porcupine Freedom Festival) is a week-long camping extravaganza put on each year by The Free State Project, an ambitious organization trying to move 20,000 liberty activists to the state of New Hampshire. PorcFest takes place on a large campground with hot showers, bathrooms, roads, meeting halls, and even a manicured grass field. It is camping-lite, but it makes a perfect environment for over a thousand liberty lovers to converge, drink, smoke, talk, laugh, argue, and show off their new semi-auto pistol accessories.

As a long-time member of the Free State Project, I moved to New Hampshire in early 2011 and have now been to three PorcFests. This one was the best, as you can imagine, because this was the first time Bitcoin had any significant presence. And wow, what a presence it had! (more…)

C01 An Activist’s World Panel – Porcfest Chronicles

Mark Edge introduces Carla Gericke, Pete Eyre, and Ian Freeman for a discussion about activism in New Hampshire at the 2012 Porcupine Freedom Festival.

This is the Proto-Chronicle and there are some audio issues.  The lav mics were not effective and by the next video they were replaced with handheld mics.  I look forward to the rest of the Chronicles being published as they will each get better and better.  Running the recording set-up and the stage was a lot to handle but I quickly adapted and made put forth the best effort I could.

Many of the individuals in these videos are outstanding, courageous activists who are trail blazers and leaders.  It is my hope that these videos inspire and awaken many individuals to the ideas of liberty, peace and prosperity.
