Episode notes
Build, Don't Bicker
- Stop bickering in privacy‑coin communities and focus on building usable privacy infrastructure and services.
- Aaron urges collaboration to scale adoption fast enough to blunt technocratic encroachment.
Regulation Is A Poor Defense
- Aaron distrusts political remedies and sees regulatory engagement as mostly unproductive or risky for privacy tech.
- He cautions against waiting for government approval instead of shipping resilient tools now.
