I listened to a talk by Harry Browne a couple of days ago wherein he discussed his wonderful book, “Finding Freedom In An Unfree World” which Tom Woods mentioned in his recent podcast Episode 1333 “The Tom Woods Guide to Seceding From Everything” . These and reflection upon how my business is being established were the inspiration for this post to share with others.
As the financial world becomes more oppressive and invasive, solutions have been constantly emerging. Many recent discoveries have helped me find more freedom for my new business. To help others, I’m sharing what’s been found and already setup, or planned soon, including:
• Manufacturing, marketing and selling only cosmetic products which eliminates all FDA and health department involvement in my life, so long as a few simple labeling and marketing guidelines are addressed. Smart Colloidal Silver also has some household uses which fall under an even less invasive regulatory regime.
• A Ledger.com hardware crypto wallet is working well for high security and avoidance of exchange risks. The LedgerLive software interface is easy and covers a long list of cryptocurrencies. The wallet is also compatible with Monero wallet interface software.
• Customers can order Products Direct from our website with: BTC (Bitcoin), BCH (Bitcoin Cash), DASH, DGB (DigiByte), DOGE (Dogecoin), ETC (Ethereum Classic), ETH (Etherium), KMD (Komodo), LTC (Litecoin), PPC (Peercoin), QTUM, STEEM, SBD (Steem Dollars), XMR (Monero) and ZEC (Zcash). Wallet addresses remain separate from personal information.
• For those who don’t like online payments, mail order is available using a PDF Form Download (accepting cash, money order or cashier’s check)
• Local listings are posted at CraigsList.org (using cash or any crypto listed above)
• We’re starting to sell at public market events (buy with cash or any crypto listed above) like this weekend’s, Greater Tulsa Survival & Green Living Expo at Tulsa Fairgrounds Exchange Center.
• Traders can request our barter list, which includes real money (silver bullion or coin).
• Our newest store is at HomesteadersCoop.com, accepting Steem and Steem Dollars with the added benefit of interacting with the Steemit community on a wide range of topics. The store setup was among the most capable on this list and the support from @sagescrub was outstanding.
• Forra.io sale listings are available for purchases with BTC, LTC, BCH, or ETH
• We also sell at Peerhub.com using Steem or cash
• Our Bitify.com store accepts BTC or LTC and collects no information from the buyer at the store. Sellers are encouraged, but not required, to have their info verified so they’re much more desirable to buy from. Being in Australia, its not much of a concern for a small business in the USA. If verified, sellers should consider dedicated wallets for this one. Being a verified seller on Bitify may need to be reconsidered as things grow.
• I plan to use Monero and ZCash more for transaction privacy. Other privacy coins will be considered as they evolve, and more is learned about them.
• My first atomic (cross chain) swap on the Komodo platform is anticipated soon to avoid exchanges, with more flexibility than a lightning network. More about atomic swaps is HERE and Komodo Platform HERE
Several cryptocurrencies are accepted at our Shopify store using CoinPayments.net which provides wallets for all and some exchanges. The transactions are connected to both parties’ personal info, unlike all of those above, eliminating any hope of privacy. So, Shopify isn’t included in the above list.
Even if I don’t sell anything through any of these channels, it feels liberating to discover, experience and now share them. The best part is all the recent new kindred spirit acquaintances along this path, especially at Steemit.com and people met in person at the markets.
Check out our products and information at ppmSilverCosmetics.com, along with all the purchasing options described above, including our brand new HomesteadersCoop Store accepting Steem and Steem Dollars with a 10% discount (no discount for Paypal or credit cards).
Hopefully, this post will help others to find more freedom for their business in this unfree world. Please let me know in the comments, or @ppmsilver in Discord, if you have any other suggestions.
Peace, Love, Agora
