Max & Q discuss the ongoing legal battle involving the Samourai Wallet developers, who are facing charges from the US government. They explore the recent developments, including the revelation that the prosecutors withheld critical evidence that could potentially dismiss one of the charges. This evidence, from FinCEN, indicated that Samourai Wallet's noncustodial design did not qualify as a money service business, contradicting one of the charges. They also touch on the implications of the Blanche memo, which suggests a shift in how the DOJ approaches crypto-related cases.Our second major topic is the controversy surrounding the op_return limit in Bitcoin transactions. Max & Q explore the arguments for and against removing the 80-byte limit, with proponents arguing for network efficiency and harm reduction, while opponents fear blockchain bloat and a shift away from Bitcoin's financial focus. They discuss the implications of these changes on the network, including potential impacts on fee estimation and miner centralization. IMPORTANT LINKS

Governments are Legal Fiction | THE CONFAB 16: Badders
Welcome back to another episode of The Confab. This episode, I catch up with my good friend, Badders, who is not only the creator of our podcast's intro music but also a return guest and colleague from our time at 21ism. Badders and I explore the concept of sovereignty and the idea of separating oneself from government control. We discuss the notion of the government as a legal fiction, a corporate entity that operates through trickery and deception, and how individuals can potentially extricate themselves from this system. Badders shares his journey of living a self-sustainable life in rural South of France, where he and his family have embraced a lifestyle of independence and connection with nature. We also touch upon the darker aspects of history and the influence of powerful families and organizations that have shaped the current global system. Badders shares his insights from diving deep into various historical and conspiracy theories, exploring the roots of satanic freemasonry, mind control, and the manipulation of global events by elite families. It's a conversation that challenges the status quo and encourages listeners to explore these topics further, offering a glimpse into the potential for a life of true freedom and independence.https://www.thesovereignproject.live/
