Should the government and unelected bureaucrats have the ability to monitor, manipulate, and censor your financial transactions?

In this episode of Bitcoin for PEACE, I had the absolute pleasure of speaking with my favorite Bitcoin Uncle, R0ckstar Dev. 

• We discussed the concept of free and open-source software (FOSS) and its impact on the software development landscape. R0ckstar Dev explained the significance of BTCPay Server, a project aimed at making Bitcoin acceptance easy for everyone while ensuring privacy and self-custody.
• Our conversation also touched on the challenges developers face, the importance of maintaining privacy, and how Bitcoin can be a tool for peace and individual empowerment. 
• R0ckstar Dev shared personal anecdotes about his transformation through Bitcoin and the supportive community that has helped him along the way.
• We also explored the role of identity in the digital age, the impact of tribalism, and the importance of finding one's inner truth. R0ckstar Dev offered valuable advice for new developers and creators looking to get involved in the Bitcoin space.
• Thank you for your generous donation to the Bitcoin Creator Summit!
• Finally, we discussed the upcoming Bitcoin for PEACE Creator Summit and the importance of storytelling in spreading the message of Bitcoin's potential for creating a more peaceful world. R0ckstar Dev's insights and experiences provided a deep and inspiring look into the world of Bitcoin and its community.
