Bitcoin and crypto were once synonymous, but in the last few years a movement within the space, often referred to as "Bitcoin Maximalism" has emerged as a new theory that believes all other crypto projects are either a distraction or outright scams against the original project and goals of Bitcoin. Our debaters argued the following resolution:
"A crypto maximalist perspective focusing exclusively on Bitcoin over all other Blockchain projects is the most effective path towards expanding both liberty and a more decentralized world. "
Our debaters were:

The American criminal justice system is supposed to be blind. It's supposed to be "innocent until proven guilty." It's supposed to give the accused the benefit of the doubt (literally). It's supposed to acquit when the prosecution doesn't prove its case - even if everyone thinks or "knows" the accused did it. Well, is that how things actually work in the real world with real people accused of real crimes?
Denver attorney David K. Williams, Jr.presented on the lopsided nature of our criminal justice system - with occasional reference here and there to the Netflix documentary series "Making a Murderer." Just how much does the accused have to overcome? Tune in to find out.
Speaker bio: Dave graduated from the University of North Carolina School of Law in 1992 with Honors. He clerked for a federal magistrate judge before entering private practice, where he eventually was on the appointed list for indigent criminal defendants in both state and federal court. He has tried felony cases, including a three week long drug trial in federal court. He also successfully argued a case before the North Carolina Supreme Court in a death penalty case.

You know him you love him. He's the liberty meme king and the best RV salesman on the front range and hes back again! Brandon Wark of Free State Colorado is back to tell us all about local politics. Brandon has a long history of activism and employment in the local political scene going back to when he worked in the cesspool itself, more commonly known as the state capitol. Did we lose or gain freedoms through the local legislature? Did the Government sneak even more bullshit through? Brandon follows all of the nonsense so that you don't have too.
