Marty Bent talks with Seth For Privacy and Vik from Cake Wallet about Radar, a new Signal fork that adds self-custodial Bitcoin Lightning payments to private messaging. They cover why Signal was the right base, how Spark enables seamless UX without custody, the growing EU surveillance threat, vibe coding, AI privacy risks, and why freedom tech needs to compete on convenience.
