Ciudad Morazán was well represented at the Free Cities Foundation’s Liberty in Our Lifetime Conference in Prague, which took place on October 14th and 15th. The Liberty in Our Lifetime event is the premier conference in the free cities industry. So many great projects were in attendance, including the world’s #1 private city, Ciudad Morazán / Bootstrap City.
Morazan’s Massimo Mazzone was invited to give a keynote speech on Growing Despite Political Uncertainty! In his talk, Massimo outlined the vision for Morazán, its success to date, and the challenges it faces under the new hostile administration.
However, Massimo was not the only one from Morazán to give a speech. Thanks largely to his high-energy Morazán tweets, Alex Ugorji, an experienced entrepreneur living in Ciudad Morazán, was invited to talk about the pros and cons of doing business in a free city.
Alex highlighted the zone’s high level of economic freedom, a friendly approach towards crypto, and low taxes as advantages. He was also on a panel with Jeremy Kauffman from the Free State Project and Gabriel Delgado from Prospera. Both projects are very interesting and worth checking out as well!
Lastly, Massimo hosted the very first Morazán meet-up in Prague! More than a dozen people attended, and almost half of the attendees had already visited Morazán.
We look forward to an even bigger conference and Morazán meet-up next year! Consider a visit–both to Morazán and to Prague.
CEO Of Morazan Model Association
I am a woman who is passionate about freedom. I understand that freedom is an overused and misunderstood word. By freedom, I mean responsibility — specifically the responsibility of living without allowing any self-proclaimed rulers to make my moral judgments for me. A coercive government can impose negative consequences on me for disobeying its edicts, but I am free to the extent that I recognize my own responsibility for the risks I choose to take in following my own moral judgments. That is what it means to live free in an unfree world.
The label that I use to describe myself is voluntaryist because it is the clearest word I can think of to describe my most important belief — that all interactions between human beings should be voluntary. There is never any moral justification for the initiation of violence or coercion. The Morazan Model Association explores the implications of that core belief.
