Episode notes

This chapter explores the threat to liberty posed by backdoor regulations and the assault on the crypto industry. It discusses the challenges faced by the crypto industry, the lack of demand for crypto restrictions from the general public, and the government's use of tech companies to censor speech. The speaker introduces their presidential platform for crypto policy, emphasizing the importance of freedom to code, freedom of financial self-reliance, and freedom from regulatory overreach.

In today’s episode, we welcome a U.S. presidential candidate who just rolled out a pro-crypto policy. This is the first one we’ve seen. His name is Vivek Ramaswamy and he plans to protect these three core crypto freedoms: Plank 1 - Freedom to Code, Plank 2 - Freedom of Financial Self Reliance, and Plank 3 - Freedom from Regulatory Overreach.

Vivek Ramaswamy is a 38-year-old Republican presidential candidate. He’s an entrepreneur, he’s worked in finance, he talks a lot about freedom - most importantly, he’s brought us a new policy platform on crypto, that if elected - he will implement. That’s why we’re doing the show today.
