A billionaire-backed 'Freedom City' initiative in Greenland is emerging as one of the most ambitious techno-libertarian experiments in recent memory. Here's what the project reveals so far.
Backed by prominent venture capitalists and Web3 figures including Peter Thiel through his Praxis initiative and Marc Andreessen, the vision extends far beyond conventional urban development. This is about building a jurisdiction designed around minimal regulatory friction—a blueprint that could reshape how tech entrepreneurs think about creating autonomous economic zones.
The implications are significant. Low-regulation frameworks have long been a concept in crypto and decentralized finance circles, but materializing them in physical geography introduces new variables. It signals a broader trend: wealthy technologists are no longer content with digital solutions alone; they're exploring territorial sovereignty as infrastructure.

Thiel and Andreessen are at it again, building a free city in Greenland? Honestly, they just want to find a place to evade regulation... But NGL, this idea is indeed quite ambitious.

Thiel and Andreessen are causing trouble again. This time, are they directly buying an island to establish a country? Web3 people are really becoming more and more outrageous.

Thiel is causing trouble again, this time directly bringing the libertarian dream to Greenland... It's a bit outrageous.

Thiel and Andreessen really dare to think and do, but doing this in Greenland... will they be incompatible with the local environment?

Thiel and Andreessen are really going big, moving directly from the virtual world to Greenland... Are these guys serious or is this just another VC hype show?

Greenland Free City? Laughs. Thiel and Andreessen are trying to turn the on-chain dream into reality. They're finally no longer satisfied with "code is law."
