  • Why Overturning Chevron Matters for Bitcoin and Civil Liberties

    In this episode, Nik is joined by Columbia University Law School professor and CEO of the New Civil Liberties Alliance Philip Hamburger to discuss his fight against the administrative state. This discussion focuses on the overturning of the Chevron Doctrine in the Supreme Court, separate branches of government and the dangers of the administrative state, and recent victories in restoring civil liberties. Philip shares his thoughts on Operation Chokepoint and implications for the bitcoin industry's access to banking, the constitutionality of tax law and the IRS, and offers optimism on fighting back against concentration of power within regulatory agencies.
