In 2009, Berwick then founded The Dollar Vigilante, an anarcho-capitalist blog about cryptocurrency, Bitcoin, gold, silver, mining stocks, and offshore banking.

Berwick describes himself as a “freedom fighter against mankind’s two biggest enemies, the State and the Central Banks.”
Berwick continues to warn the world of the potential collapse of the current money system and provides tips for survival, including holding gold, silver, and cryptocurrency.
Berwick is also the host of the Anarchast podcast, which he founded in 2012.
In 2015, Berwick founded Anarchapulco in Acapulco, Mexico – an annual anarcho-capitalist conference, or as Berwick describes it, a “freedom conference” where anarchists congregate.
The festival has featured a number of notable speakers from John McAfee, an American software engineer to politician Ron Paul and conspiracy researcher David Icke.
Berwick was an earlier investor in Bitcoin, appearing publicly on Bloomberg and Fox News to discuss the digital currency.
Berwick has been telling everyone to purchase Bitcoin since 2011, and compares cryptocurrency to the start of the internet.
Berwick said: “It feels like we are entering the internet 3.0 and Wall Street seems to be finally catching on.
“The Bitcoin market is still tiny, and if it ever gets valued anywhere near gold, it will still go up thousands of percent.”
“Cryptocurrencies are exciting as they have the potential to help facilitate that change.
“If we can turn things around the world will be a much better place.”
Berwick acquired citizenship from the Dominican Republic in 2016.
In 2022 HBO released an original six-part documentary series called The Anarchists.
The series is based on six years of video collected by Todd Schramke, and focuses partly on Berwick and his beliefs.
