We trade jokes and hard truths about stablecoins, surveillance, and why “self-custody” means very different things depending on who holds the off switch. We move from BTC Prague and Europe’s privacy-first Bitcoin culture to South African capital controls, then finish with a hands-on tour of tools like silent payments and Start9 for anyone who wants more real-world sovereignty. • BTC Prague highlights and why European Bitcoiners feel more cypherpunk • DAC8 as automated KYC data sharing and why Bull Bitcoin takes it to court • On-chain spam arguments and why virtue signalling does not fix technical problems • Rwanda and South Africa regulatory pressure through the lens of property rights • Why capital controls undermine a free and open society • Party politics scepticism and why “a saviour” narrative fails • Silent payments in Sparrow Wallet for better Bitcoin privacy • Progressive web wallets as a path around app store gatekeepers • Nostr VPN, decentralised tools and peer-to-peer messaging under censorship • Start9 OS 0.40, remote access and making self-hosting usable • Private AI trade-offs, data retention and why cloud convenience has a cost • Mining centralisation, Stratum V2 and the nation-state angle If you've got any SATS lying around, please donate to property rightsdefense.org.
