love to see it, reminds me of a similar conversation we had on the same stage last year
Edward nostr:npub1sn0wdenkukak0d9dfczzeacvhkrgz92ak56egt7vdgzn8pv2wfqqhrjdv9 gave us all a stern warning, and despite the standing ovation, I don’t think most people understood or cared.
Snowden agrees that Bitcoin is the best tool we have to fight the surveillance state, but "Bitcoin has a privacy problem".
The reason we see talks of ETFs and acceptance from the SEC is BECAUSE Bitcoin is not private.
Snowden says it’s not enough for a few to know best privacy practices. Those who have good OPSEC should use that skill to provide privacy to the masses.
Privacy must be the default.
Notice he doesn’t say we should switch to Monero. Monero is a shitcoin. He says the technology to make decentralized, private payments with Bitcoin exists RIGHT NOW, and the minority of us who truly care about freedom need to pay attention to the discourse and stop asking for permission.
In other words, we have to stop accepting "Bitcoin shouldn’t do that because it might cause legal issues".

Discussion
FATF is UN WEF
Philosophically, you won that debate hands down. But for the people who only care about NGU or cashing in their BTC for CBDC tokens, I think they like that Bitcoin is safe, legal, and surveilled.
For this reason, I would be very happy if you make this happen 🙏🏻
