About this episode
HELP KEONNE AND BILL: https://billandkeonne.org/ I
n this episode, I chat with Keonne Rodríguez, co-founder of Samurai Wallet—a Bitcoin wallet focused on privacy and self-sovereignty. Keonne now faces prison time for building open-source privacy tools, in a legal case that has stunned the Bitcoin and developer communities.
This episode exposes the frightening reality of what happens when privacy-focused developers are targeted by state power. If you care about Bitcoin’s future as freedom money, developer rights, and the fight against financial surveillance, this conversation is a must-listen.
