COO of @cakewallet @sethforprivacy discusses the biggest challenges facing Bitcoin privacy — from regulation to UI/UX and technical hurdles — and how the @TornadoCash sanctions and @SamouraiWallet prosecutions affected colleagues building privacy tools. Although U.S. sanctions on Tornado Cash were lifted in March 2025, co-founder Roman Storm was subsequently convicted on one criminal count and continues to face prosecution on two others. Samourai Wallet’s co-founders were sentenced to five and four years in prison in November 2025. #freesamourai
