In this episode, we dive into the world of Bitcoin, privacy, and open-source tools. We kick off with a light-hearted discussion about New Year's celebrations and personal resolutions, including a candid chat about alcohol consumption and lifestyle changes. The conversation then shifts to the latest updates in the Bitcoin ecosystem, including the travel rule's impact on privacy and the IRS's new regulations on non-custodial trading services.
