Gabriel Custodiet speaks with Ray Youssef, a crypto entrepreneur formerly of Paxful, who was abducted by federal agents and taken to the US where he is currently facing troubling allegations. He gives an update on his situation and also discusses some of his other views on the Global South, why he is persona non grata at Bitcoin conferences, and why decentralization is not the best process for human freedom.

Gabriel Custodiet speaks with Zelko of RoninDojo and Samourai Wallet. They unpack the crazy politics in the Bitcoin community: from the fuzzy "red lines" of Bitcoin company, to the gradual diminishment of Bitcoin's cypherpunk origins, to FOSS gaslighting and the recent Ocean Mining censorship. Oh, and Bitcoin is not for Progressives.
