This Government List Is Getting Bitcoiners Klled | Francis Pouliot
Show Notes
Francis Pouliot joins Marty to break down DAC8 and MiCA, the EU’s sweeping crypto surveillance laws that turn exchanges into data honeypots. They cover Bull Bitcoin’s legal fight in France, the rise of crypto kidnappings under FATF-style global mandates, and why KYC AML regimes fail while endangering users. The conversation shifts to Bitcoin privacy tech like PayJoin and Silent Payments, chain analysis false positives, and how builders can resist bureaucratic overreach without sacrificing self-custody.
