 This last one year has been wild for the classical liberal torch.

•Three US presidential candidates Vivek Ramaswamy, Donald Trump and RFK Jr. spoke at the libertarian convention.
•The next US Vice president JD Vance agreed with Ron Paul's stance on central banking.
•Argentina elected a libertarian Javier Milei as president.
•Owners of two of the biggest social media platforms are starting to lean libertarian in their views, publicly in the case of Elon Musk, privately in the case of Mark Zuckerberg.
•And of course, the performance of Bitcoin and Gold.

Make no mistake.
This won't be restricted to the west. Ideas spread. No army or government can stop an idea whose time has come.
And no idea is more powerful than the idea of liberty.
