SHOW GUIDE:

Diverter gives his background: “some random dude” who found bitcoin and became immersed in the privacy realm
Mining For The Streets was his first big project — home bitcoin mining is back again, even if only to acquire BTC without KYC
Samourai Wallet was the only thing that really made me excited about bitcoin; now, I’m kind of lost
Diverter’s take on the future of bitcoin privacy now
The timing of the arrests are conspiratorially interesting regarding releases regarding decentralized Whirlpool
Samourai Wallet was also heavily invested in helping the case of Roman Sterlingov; made big investments into Tor, the “Death Athletic” documentary, & more
OXT.ME was a major tool for freedom and privacy from the State and ChainAlysis; now, things are uncertain
OXT’s origin story: sought out by governments and private corporations worldwide; takes a ton of servers to run this thing, and was going to shut it down — SW stepped in!
POLITICAL PRISONER HIGHLIGHT #1: Kevin “KC” Massey
KC explains the case; then, a clip of one of his many normal interactions with Border Patrol
The Citizens for Constitutional Freedom — Patriots that stood their ground against the State, armed, won in court — inspiration for SW and TDev! (FULL PLAYLIST AS IT HAPPENED)
How the Southern District Court of New York is gaining alleged jurisdiction in these crypto privacy cases — absolutely ridiculous.
