The Reserve Bank of India wants banks and regulated financial institutions barred from holding, trading, or offering exposure to digital assets and stablecoins. Officials also warn that offshore exchanges and peer-to-peer platforms are difficult to track. The documents estimate that India has nearly 39 million digital asset investors holding roughly $2.1 billion in digital assets.

77 Bitcoin kidnappings logged in France since January — and Canada isn't immune. A Toronto CEO was ransomed for $1M. Saylor sells $216M in Bitcoin. Carney admits climate defeat. CUSMA gets rejected. This week on the Canadian Bitcoiners Podcast: French Interior Minister Laurent Nuñez confirms 77 kidnappings and extortions targeting Bitcoin holders since January 2026 — already past all of 2025. Ledger co-founder David Balland had a finger severed by his kidnappers. Then it hits home: Toronto's WonderFi CEO was forced into a car during rush hour for a $1 million ransom, and a B.C. family was held hostage overnight. Joey and Len break down why being loud about your Bitcoin stack is now a physical security problem — and what actually protects you. In this episode of the Canadian Bitcoiners Podcast:- The global Bitcoin kidnapping wave - France's 77 cases and the Canadian parallel nobody's talking about- Strategy (MicroStrategy) sells $216M in Bitcoin - is Saylor's playbook cracking, or is this just treasury management?- K Wave Media's 10,000 BTC dream collapses to zero - the corporate Bitcoin treasury reckoning is here- Mark Carney concedes emissions targets will not be met, pivots to a new energy plan and a west coast pipeline- CUSMA joint review: the U.S. declines to renew, and what it means for Canadian trade- Toronto's FIFA World Cup bill: FIFA cashes out, taxpayers cover $380 million for six games- An Ontario judge exposes CBSA's 577,739-case deportation backlog through one repeat LCBO thief- Plus: a Brampton Ponzi scheme, Montreal's rental relief, BTCPay's new tap-to-pay terminal, Wasabi Wallet's mandatory upgrade, and a clipboard-hijacking cautionary tale Bitcoin doesn't create the incentive to overpromise and quietly walk it back - governments and corporate copycats do that fine on their own.

The new policing system will connect 487 cameras equipped with AI-powered identity and vehicle tracking and send all video feeds into a new centralized command center. To support the rollout, Chinese-backed regional security partners are providing financial and technical support for the project and have pledged to expand the camera grid in the future. Cambodian officials say the project will protect residents and tourists. But in a country where dissent is overtly and systematically punished, these new AI-powered systems can easily double as a surveillance machine capable of identifying anyone who criticizes the ruling party.

Mentor Sessions Ep. 070: Why “Nothing to Hide” Is the Most Dangerous Lie Ever Sold, Why Privacy Is NOT a Right But Your Only Real Defense, and How Tech Can Crush Free-Range Serfdom | Molyneux & Hillebrand Privacy is a consequence of property rights — and the government is racing to destroy both. Stefan Molyneux and Max Hillebrand join BTC Sessions for a rare, unfiltered debate on why surrendering your financial data to CBDCs is the endgame of totalitarian control, and how Bitcoin privacy tools like Coinjoin and zero-knowledge proofs are the last line of defense.You'll learn why the 'nothing to hide' argument is one of the most dangerous lies ever sold to the public, how social credit scores are already being constructed through blockchain surveillance, and why Max Hillebrand's work on Wasabi Wallet — funded entirely by a 0.3% fee — paid 40 engineers without a single government grant. You'll also see Stefan and Max debate intellectual property from first principles, explore whether privacy is an outcome or a prerequisite of a free society, and understand why the OODA loop from military strategy explains exactly why financial privacy keeps you safe.⏱️ Timestamps:0:00 - Intro1:02 - Introducing Stefan Molyneux and Max Hillebrand1:42 - Online Age Verification and Privacy Trade-Offs2:14 - Dangers of the Nothing-to-Hide Argument4:59 - Child Protection Versus State Surveillance7:12 - When Privacy Violations Are Morally Justified9:00 - Max Hillebrand Defines Privacy10:03 - Privacy as a Property Right11:10 - Free Market Age Verification Solutions12:44 - Zero-Knowledge Proofs for Private Age Checks13:42 - Social Credit Scores and Reputation Attacks17:30 - Anonymity as Defense Against Reputation Harm18:39 - Ostracism Versus State Enforcement21:35 - AI Removing Limits on Totalitarianism25:35 - Financial Privacy for Sound Money30:35 - Privacy as OODA Loop Military Defense33:09 - Bitcoin's Built-In Privacy Shortcomings34:16 - CoinJoin for Obfuscating Bitcoin Transactions39:08 - Privacy as Prerequisite or Outcome of Freedom47:48 - Your Data as Sellable Property58:43 - Intellectual Property as Contract or Theft1:22:59 - Streaming Sats and Lightning Payments1:24:42 - Wasabi Wallet's 0.3 Percent Revenue Model1:29:17 - Where to Follow Stefan and Max

Sean Bowe is a cryptographer and engineer who is best known for revolutionizing Zcash. After cooperating to fix the inflation bug in the first version of the network, he built Halo to remove the trusted setup – basically obliterating the main reason why Bitcoin did not activate the Zerocash soft fork in 2013. More recently, Sean Bowe announced project Tachyon: an ambitious initiative to scale ZK SNARKs (the technology enabling shielded transactions) to billions of users.

My guest today is Max Hillebrand, praxeologist, cypherpunk, and open-source advocate dedicated to building freedom tech that empowers individuals through economic and technological sovereignty. As a contributor to projects like Bitcoin Core, Wasabi Wallet, BTCPay Server, JoinMarket, Lightning Network, Bisq, Angor, White Noise, and Amethyst. In this episode, Max shares his journey from Austrian economics into Bitcoin privacy, recounting how tools like CoinJoins, Wasabi, and the Taproot upgrade push Bitcoin closer to true anonymity. We explore the battle between fiat and freedom, the broken incentives of inflation and war, and why opting into Bitcoin is both a moral imperative and a form of resistance. Max also introduces Nostr as the communications layer for a censorship-resistant future, explains the axioms of human action, argumentation ethics, and resistance, and highlights why he believes we now have the technological weapons to end modern financial slavery in our lifetime.► If you got value, please like, comment, share, follow and support my work.

Crypto's privacy war isn't simmering anymore. It's blowing wide open. What began as a digital experiment has morphed into something closer to a modern-day Reformation. An uprising against centralized power, driven not by scripture, but by code. From Brussels to Washington, authorities are drafting their own theses. More KYC. Fewer privacy tools. A coordinated effort to strip anonymity from the system. But the crypto world isn't kneeling. For many, financial freedom means self-custody, not compliance. It means privacy by design, not by permission. As someone who has long followed this space and considers XRP one of the most fascinating and resilient projects in the ecosystem, I have watched these battles unfold with growing concern. This isn't just about coins or code. It is about whether digital privacy survives the crusade against it or gets excommunicated entirely. Why Crypto Was Always About Privacy When Bitcoin launched in 2009, it wasn't just about making money. It was a protest. A way to flip the script on centralized banks, bloated institutions, and the people who controlled your financial life. Crypto's early adopters were rebels. The ideas behind it? Pseudonymity, freedom from censorship, and control over your own funds. Privacy coins like Monero and Zcash weren't shady outliers. They were the purest version of the original dream. Self-custody wallets let people hold their own keys. No middlemen. No questions asked. It made sense for a movement born from libertarian roots, where freedom from surveillance was sacred. But that dream is now under threat. The threat is not from hackers, but from the very systems crypto tried to escape. Why Crypto Scares Governments Governments never like a system they can't watch or tax. That's where the friction started. The European Union rolled out its Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) regulation, aiming for comprehensive oversight. The United Kingdom pushed its financial promotions regime, tightening the reins on crypto marketing. And the US Treasury? It's making aggressive moves to bring Know Your Customer (KYC) requirements to the forefront of Decentralized Finance (DeFi) platforms. Their stated reasons sound reasonable: they want to stop money laundering, terrorism financing, and tax evasion. A critical distinction exists between fighting genuine crime and effectively criminalizing financial privacy for all. However, that line is indeed getting increasingly blurry. Crackdown measures against privacy coins are ramping up with alarming speed. Monero and Zcash, once mainstays, have been delisted from major exchanges as compliance pressures mount. Developers of privacy-focused wallets now face legal threats and increasing scrutiny. Even established tools like Wasabi Wallet are blocking users in certain regions, demonstrating the immediate impact of these regulatory shifts. Crypto's privacy tools are no longer merely innovative instruments; they have become targets in a broader regulatory crackdown, pushing the boundaries of individual financial freedom. The ongoing pressure is forcing the crypto ecosystem to adapt, often by compromising on the very privacy features that were once central to its appeal. KYC vs. DeFi: The Fight Over Self-Custody KYC means Know Your Customer. It's how banks check who you are, verifying identities to prevent illicit activities. However, in the decentralized finance (DeFi) landscape, where no single entity controls the platform, the question of who performs this checking remains unanswered, much to the discomfort of regulators. Decentralized platforms like Uniswap lack a central off switch or a single point of control, making traditional enforcement mechanisms ineffective. Tornado Cash, for instance, did not simply vanish after sanctions were imposed; its code remained open-source and operational, a testament to the resilient nature of decentralization. This inherent characteristic makes enforcing KYC in DeFi incredibly challenging. It is also precisely wh...

New cash is expected to be printed in phases beginning in May. But Bangladeshis report they are currently stuck with old and unusable currency, as the national mint has yet to issue replacement currency and lacks the capacity to print more than three notes at a time. Meanwhile, public ATMs continue to dispense old and worn-out banknotes, with merchants reluctantly accepting them and banks refusing to exchange them. Through all this, the central bank of Bangladesh sits on nearly 15,000 crore taka ($1.28 billion) worth of old notes in vaults, but the interim government has refused to release them, deepening public frustration.
