## Resource

I'm on a mission to understand what happens when someone comes into direct conflict with the system itself, so I sit down with Joby Weeks, an early Bitcoin entrepreneur now on house arrest, to explore how power operates when challenged, what his case reveals about control, authority and compliance, and whether it's still possible to live freely—financially, intellectually and spiritually—inside structures that increasingly demand alignment. To support Joby and watch the full film, visit https://freejoby.com where more information about his case and ongoing efforts can be found.
