I joined What Bitcoin Did to discuss the importance of independent journalism, the challenges of media manipulation and the rise of tyranny. They also talked about the risks of AI, the influence of powerful figures like Elon Musk and the need for public scrutiny, and the potential co-opting of Bitcoin by powerful institutions.

What can be done to prevent the crackdown on anonymity, privacy, freedom of speech, with the planned false-flag on the banks and e-ID:s required on ISP level etc? To say these things to a "normie" now would result in them wondering what we've been smoking, or if we need to be checked in to the nuthouse, even if they know us since childhood. Then, when it's done, they agree it's necessary, and we're idiots for not realizing that, or worse, that we're people who just want to do cybercrime... If this comes to pass, both Bitcoin and Nostr is dead, and there is 0% chance of any freedom ever returning - for millennia - bar a Carrington event killing everything electric, and billions of people as a result. I think we would need hugely trusted people talking about these plans, people who the "normies" see as truth personified. Most of those work for the enemy. How could we spread these news to the few who doesn't, and convince them to talk about it?
