Synopsis

This is the second and final part of our interview with Enric Duran (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enric_Duran) of the Faircoin (https://en.everybodywiki.com/Faircoin) / Faircoop (https://en.everybodywiki.com/Faircoin) project. We discuss: the advantage of using Faircoin rather than Bitcoin or even Euros; the history of anarchism of in Spain and the use of pre-crypto 'scrip' currencies in and between anarchist communes; the need to build an infrastructure for the coming community of disaffected normies, and more. We also take a long excursion into Enric's backstory as the 'Robin Hood' of the antiglobalisation movement: how he stole half a million euros plus from banks and gave it all to anticapitalist projects , and his ensuing life in the underground.  And finally we come around to the big question: how to get to a global Commons without requiring big-state communism. Bonus: the mysterious link between Ethereum, Vitalik Buterin and Enric Duran's commune Calafou.
