Show Notes
<p>In this powerful reboot of the new renaissance capital show, we are joined by Ziya Sadr, a prominent Iranian Bitcoin and Freedom Tech educator who shares his harrowing first-hand account of the 2022 protests. Ziya discusses his time in detainment, the industrial-scale violence used by the regime, and why millions of Iranians are now at a breaking point due to decades of economic mismanagement and currency collapse.</p>
<p>We dive deep into how technology like Bitcoin, Starlink, and Samourai Wallet are serving as vital lifelines for people living under extreme censorship. Ziya explains why privacy isn't just a preference but a survival mechanism in Iran, and he offers a direct call to action for the international community to support those fighting for their lives on the ground.</p>
