Mockingbird Research - Bitcoin Custody in 2025

The internet was once hailed as the great equalizer, a borderless public square where every voice could be heard. But today, speech flows through walled gardens, monitored by algorithms, and throttled by unseen gatekeepers. Mass surveillance, platform lock-in, and corporate censorship have transformed conversation into something fragile and conditional. If Bitcoin gave us financial sovereignty, what would it take to achieve the same for communication? At ImagineIF, @ODELL joins @Derek Ross and @Shawn to chart the blueprint for a censorship-proof communication layer. Together, they reveal how individuals can own their digital identity, move seamlessly across apps, and engage without intermediaries.
