So on the anti-prohibitionism podcast, what's the main focus right now? Surely it's got to be central bank, digital currencies, digital IDs.

Do you find that conversation happening more on that side of things? with people more concerned? And is that unlocking them, hopefully, potentially, to being friendlier towards Bitcoin or giving it another look? Because, you know, I've met so many people like this that, like you, they just think it's Wall Street 2.0 and it's been...

was invented by the CIA or all of this kind of is the dark cabal uh that or even worse they actually believed uh Craig Wright was Satoshi and it was the cabal that took him down like you know it's insanity but uh what kind of conversations are going on over there and in that world Danny, it's still
So politically, ideologically, I think nothing should be prohibited.
Each individual should be to make free choices by himself as long as his free choices don't hurt anyone else or the society around him, broadly speaking.
But, for example, very recently, during the past couple of years, I covered extensively what the European Union tried to do with chat control, when the the regulator in the EU tried to break messages encryption.
And I'm realizing that the more they do that, The more people realize that in the new age of information, everyone has a smartphone and relies on technology to basically do everything.
I think they are realizing that these matters are fundamental and that we should have this debate.
We should speak against our political power and our regulators when they try to attack privacy.
