Tucker has appeared as a speaker at numerous conferences on Austrian school economics, and libertarianism, including FreedomFest conferences, events of the Free State Project, and the 2016 and 2018 Libertarian Party national convention.

Tucker was appointed a Distinguished Fellow of the Foundation for Economic Education in 2013, speaking at FEE's seminars and writing for its publication The Freeman. From 2015 to 2017, he was FEE's Director of Content.

In 2013, Tucker began writing about the information-based cryptocurrency Bitcoin. He has been interviewed on the subject by Reason, Forbes, Fox Business Channel, and RT. Tucker's 2015 book Bit by Bit is devoted to Bitcoin and other products of the "information economy". In 2018 he became a research affiliate of the Blockchain Innovation Hub, a study center at RMIT University.

In 2013, Tucker founded and became the CEO (under the title "Chief Liberty Officer") of Liberty.me, a "social network and online publishing platform for the liberty minded", which launched a successful Indiegogo fundraising campaign in 2013 and began operation in 2014.

In late 2011 he was hired by Addison Wiggin as publisher and executive editor of Laissez Faire Books, and worked in that capacity until 2016. As of 2017, he remains a contributor to LFB.

Formerly a Southern Baptist, Tucker is a convert to traditionalist Catholicism and was managing editor of the Church Music Association of America journal Sacred Music from 2006 to 2014. From 2013 to 2015, he edited CMAA's website New Liturgical Movement.

In an interview for California Sunday, Tucker described his "vision of freedom" by recalling a view over São Paulo by night: "As far as my eyes could see, there were lights and buildings and civilization burgeoning — an awesome amount of human knowledge, energy, innovation, creative capacity right in front of me. I began to turn, and it was true over here, and over there, and in every single direction, and I thought, That’s it! This world will never be governed. It cannot be governed. It was beautiful."

From 1997 to 2011 Tucker worked for the Mises Institute, of which Rockwell was a co-founder, as editorial vice president and editor for the institute's website, Mises.org. From 1999 to 2011 he also contributed scholarly efforts and humorous essays to LewRockwell.com.

In the late 1980s, he went to work for Ron Paul, as an assistant to editor Lew Rockwell, who produced political and investment newsletters on behalf of the former congressman. In 2008, during Paul's campaign for President, those newsletters became the topic of a controversy about racially charged comments some of them contained.
