🚨PRIVACY IS A RIGHT. NOT A WEAPON!

The Tornado Cash trial could redefine financial privacy — and Bitcoiners need to pay attention.

From courtroom tension to the media narrative, from Bitcoin adoption to the ethics of money, this episode is a deep dive into the battle lines shaping our financial and technological future.

🎙️ About the Episode:

What happens when privacy tech is put on trial?

We dig into the tense Roman Storm/Tornado Cash case, where prosecutors are painting privacy as a tool for criminals — and what that means for every Bitcoiner. Frank also shares his thoughts on the White House’s upcoming Fed Chair pick, the 2024 U.S. election landscape (Trump, Lummis, and more), Bitcoin mining narratives, and the growing global crackdown on financial freedom.

Disagree with the premise: Privacy is a right, not a weapon.

I appreciate the passion behind protecting the ability of individuals to have privacy, but it’s not a right, so don’t argue for privacy rights from a faulty premise that it just “is”. Argue why it should BE a protected thing.

This is why the second part of the statement falls short: The taking away of privacy can and will be used as a “weapon” because those with power to do so can indeed take away that thing from you. They can’t take your soul, they can’t take your beliefs, and they can’t take your mind; they can take your freedom, privacy, movement, and even life because those things are not inherent to YOU. They are things protected by law, but evildoers can and do love to take those things from us, which is why we have to fight for them in the first place.

You can easily take it back following what nostr:nprofile1qy2hwumn8ghj7ct4w35zumn0wd68yvfwvdhk6qgkwaehxw309aex2mrp0yhrq7rrdpshgtnrdaksqgpm0lyzxcglrt4w5clw80mfkfdc4gtwcm5p6xhu8ypxsz87r9p4fufjf3zv recommends. I've been doing this for a short while, and it's been working for me alright.

I started that way back when in 2020, though.
