1/ 🚨 The EINUNDZWANZIG Bitcoin Association is proud to announce that we are donating 0.1 BTC to the legal defense of the Samourai Wallet developers. This fight isn’t just about them—it’s about the future of Bitcoin privacy, sovereignty, and freedom. 🧵

2/ 🔒 Privacy isn’t a "right" given by others—it’s a personal duty we must all enforce. Bitcoin gives us the tools to protect ourselves, but those tools are under attack.

3/ 🎙️ After hearing Danny Knowles powerful interview on What Bitcoin Did, with Roger Burlingame and Zack Bshapiro we felt compelled to act. The legal defense faces an unprecedented challenge: analyzing an insane amount of data handed over by prosecutors.

4/ over 30 terabytes of data to review—more than the Library of Congress, or stacked paper reaching the moon 25 times. This unprecedented burden makes funding critical to build the best defense.

5/ ⚖️These funds will help ensure the Samourai devs can mount the best possible defense against this unjust prosecution. The stakes in the Samurai case go beyond individual developers—they could affect every Bitcoiner, from node runners to wallet users to devs.

6/ 🛡️ keonne and SamouraiDev are being prosecuted in the US for building open-source privacy tools. If these charges succeed, the precedent could jeopardize node operators, Lightning routing nodes, wallet developers, and Bitcoin’s core values worldwide.

7/ 🌍 As a Bitcoin association representing Germany, Austria, Switzerland, and Luxembourg, we stand united for Bitcoin’s borderless principles. This attack on privacy tools affects us all, no matter where we live.

8/ 💪 That’s why we’ve donated 0.1 BTC to the Peer-to-Peer Rights Fund a project housed within the btcpolicyorg. They are spearheading the Samourai defense and working to prevent harmful precedents.

9/ 🤝 We call on all Bitcoiners to join us. Whether you’re a developer, node runner, business, or everyday user, this fight matters. Privacy is the backbone of freedom—and defending it is everyone’s responsibility.

Super Honig!
