Episode notes
The government promised you clarity on Bitcoin. What you actually got: developers in handcuffs, a "strategic reserve" built on an executive order — not a law, not an act, not an amendment — a CLARITY Act riddled with national security carve-outs and an ethics clause that nearly torched the whole thing, and a DOJ quietly deploying Minority Report-style pre-crime AI to flag your wallet before you've done anything wrong. In this episode, Rustin breaks down the Samourai Wallet prosecution, the Tornado Cash verdict, the GrapheneOS border case that proves your phone is a battlefield, and NSPM-7 — then connects every dot to the one thesis they don't want you to reach: you cannot indict a protocol, you cannot arrest mathematics, and every act of state repression against Bitcoin builders is the most powerful Bitcoin adoption campaign the government never meant to run. Stack accordingly.
