Good to see @RealAngelaMc bringing the Samourai Wallet case to @Timcast's audience.
Most people still have no idea developers are facing prison for writing code. The more people who hear about this the better.

Admiral Paparo: "Bitcoin shows incredible potential for national security, and proof of work imposes more cost than just the algorithmic securing of networks."
The Pentagon is framing Bitcoin as a cybersecurity tool and a form of power projection.

⚠️ If you don’t understand this Gen Z mindset shift, you’re going to miss Bitcoin.
Debt. Decline. Doomers.
But history says this exact moment comes before a rebirth.
And Gen Z is repeating a pattern that ONLY shows up... before a Renaissance.

The most cyberpunk video you will see today. This portable container of Bitcoin mining computers are plugged into an oil well somewhere in the North Dakota wilderness. It makes a profit by using the extra methane gas that is usually wasted and burned.

"Why do you need privacy if you have nothing to hide?"
With everything happening with the Samourai case, it feels like an appropriate time to share my opening remarks from @LuganoPlanB
I discuss privacy, the totalitarian temptation, the purpose of the State and the Law, government overreach, and how to subvert the State with open-source freedom tech.
Remember: if the State controls your money, the State controls you.
Rights are not given, they are taken.
Let us take them together.
We own the future.

The case against Tornado Cash developer Roman Storm isn’t really about Tornado Cash, it’s about whether writing and publishing open-source code can be treated as a crime.
Storm is being prosecuted for conspiracy and for operating an “unlicensed money transmitting business,” despite Tornado Cash being non-custodial and autonomous. The government’s theory hinges on the fact that the protocol was used by others to launder funds, not that Storm personally handled illicit money.
If that standard holds, any privacy-preserving software, mixers, encryption tools, VPNs, even basic cryptography, becomes a legal risk. This is a direct threat to financial privacy and to code as protected speech.
