Insider EXPOSES Banks’ Secret Attack on Bitcoin: It’s Only Just Beginning | Yaël Ossowski

Yaël Ossowski from the Bitcoin Policy Institute discusses everything fake in modern society while exploring Bank Secrecy Act reform and negative versus positive rights in Bitcoin policy. The conversation covers Section 230 for energy policy, Fed independence concerns amid Treasury merger speculation, and Trump administration plans. Topics include weaponized financial surveillance, Bitcoin developer protection, de minimis tax rules, and energy infrastructure challenges. Yael explains how the Bank Secrecy Act creates compliance burdens while failing to stop money laundering, and why negative rights approaches better protect Bitcoin users than positive legislation. The discussion touches on housing market corrections, Argentina's economic reforms under Milei, and the need for blockchain regulatory certainty to protect developers building decentralized tools.
