In this episode I dive into the ongoing shift from closed systems to open, permissionless digital realms, drawing parallels to the internet revolution. I discuss the importance of privacy as a fundamental right, and explain why government attempts to regulate and control Bitcoin are contemptible and flawed. With a focus on recent FinCEN rules and Senator Warren's proposed bill, I advocates for a re-evaluation of regulatory approaches, challenging the authorities to understand the true nature of Bitcoin and its global, decentralized nature. Tune in for a thought-provoking "Dear Government" message and a compelling exploration of the technological advancements reshaping our financial future.
