PROTON WALLET: Privacy, Censorship & Building on Bitcoin - Andy Yen (THE Bitcoin Podcast)

<p>“If Visa, MasterCard, PayPal, and the big banks decided to gang up on Proton, they can still do the same thing to us today, right? So from that moment to today, I think I've always been the advocate of how can we get this powerful concept [Bitcoin] that enabled Proton to survive 10 years ago and make it more widespread and make it more common? Because I think the future of business, democracy, freedom, it really depends on this.”</p> <p>On this <a href="https://bitcoinpodcast.net/bitcoin-talk">Bitcoin Talk</a> episode of <em>THE Bitcoin Podcast</em>, <a href="https://x.com/walkeramerica">Walker</a> talks with <strong>Andy Yen</strong>, the CEO and Founder of Proton.
