Bitcoin, Surveillance, and the Fight for Financial Privacy
I break down whether Bitcoin is truly anonymous, how on-ramps compromise privacy, the difference between pseudonymity and anonymity, and how to build a non-KYC Bitcoin stack. I explore why Bitcoin’s design protects users at the protocol level, the risks of surveillance, and how Overton windows shift from Bitcoin being career suicide to becoming an essential strategic reserve.
