## Resource

Privacy isn't about having something to hide... It's about protecting yourself before it's too late. In this episode, I'm joined by Freddie New , CEO of B-HODL and co-founder of Bitcoin Policy UK, to unpack why governments around the world are rapidly expanding surveillance and what that means for Bitcoiners, privacy, and financial freedom.
