In this episode of Cryptoconomy I sit down with Angela McArdle to talk about what happens when Bitcoin, state power and human freedom collide.Angela has spent the last few years at the center of the liberty world. She has helped push for clemency for Ross Ulbricht, fought lawfare against Bitcoin developers and activists, and worked to turn libertarians from “spoilers” into real kingmakers.We get into:• How the Ross Ulbricht fight actually worked behind the scenes• Why prosecutors and regulators are going after Bitcoin and privacy tools through the back door• What a government “strategic Bitcoin reserve” might really mean for freedom• Why recruiting Bitcoiners and misfits matters more than chasing party loyaltyThis is not a price talk episode. It is a conversation about power, lawfare and the kind of courage it will take to keep Bitcoin and open networks on the side of human beings instead of the state. Angela on X: https://x.com/RealAngelaMcMark on X: https://x.com/MarkKilaghbianMark's (free) dating app: www.dataing.io
