Most people don't know, but two years ago I was depressed and miserable. I came to the Bitcoin space seeking an escape from academia. Learning the protocol was hard as hell. There's too much noise about "number goes up" and too little signal. "This can't continue", I decided.…

Many Bitcoin influencers avoid taking a position on the spam debate because they face an uncomfortable reality that large swaths of maxis are ignorant of how Bitcoin operates and educating them with facts is met with anger because it conflicts with Puritan canon.

Roman Storm's conviction for operating an unlicensed money transmission business is dangerous for all defi developers. It's also just wrong as a matter of law, and (I think) it will be overturned.

The Bank Secrecy Act was built entirely for a paper-based world. But money is now a creature of the internet and we need our laws to respect that. A prime example: we should look to Zero-Knowledge Proofs to eliminate the data dragnet that the BSA forces on every consumer. 1/3
