A year ago he flew to Roatán to visit Próspera, the Honduran free economic zone he'd been hearing about for years.

Tomek runs the Bitcoin District inside one of the only jurisdictions on earth where a company can pay its taxes in Bitcoin and keep its books denominated in BTC. He's 33. He's been at the front line of Poland's freedom movement for the better part of a decade. And he has a lot to say about what it actually feels like to build a city from scratch in a jungle. In this conversation: The new Hollywood sub-genre of Satoshi Nakamoto films, and why Tomek doesn't actually want anyone to figure out who Satoshi was Hal Finney cryogenics, the quantum threat to Satoshi's million coins, and the game theory of the honeypot Iran, the Great Reset, global capital as the actor moving the world, and why neither Tomek nor Tim would accept the job of king of the world The Bitcoin District inside Próspera:…","meta_description":"He Quit Poland for the Best Job in Bitcoin - Tomek Kołodziejczuk is a Polish bitcoiner from Warsaw, where he founded the Bitcoin Film Festival, now four y…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":6758,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/free-cities-podcast-5840331/episodes/183-the-bitcoin-free-city-tomek-ko-odziejczuk/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/free-cities-podcast-5840331/183-the-bitcoin-free-city-tomek-ko-odziejczuk.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
