Today's guest on the show is @julian_liniger the Co-Founder and CEO of @Relai_app - a self-custodial #bitcoin-only app from Switzerland.

Why did ⁠@Relai_app⁠ recently announce the unfortunate news that they have had to bow to Swiss regulations in order to stay operational?

What twists and turns have happened over the last two years whilst struggling with regulators to remain KYC 'light'?

How has #Bitcoin been treated unfairly versus other investable assets by the regulators and what should we be more awar of?

What is on the horizon now for other companies that want to start offering #Bitcoin services in Switzerland and the EU?

A huge thank you to Julian for coming on the show to explain what has been happening behind the scenes!
