In this episode of Bitcoin Banter, Michael, Tony and Katie discuss the pending legislation in South Africa to ban self-custody of Bitcoin, which could turn millions of ordinary South Africans into criminals!

They also talk about crypto owners in France being targeted in wrench attacks after tax officials leak data to criminal cartels, how CBDCs are being foisted onto the people of India, the new ‘kill switch’ legislation and Ford’s dystopian patent filings, and of course our Donkey of the Week - Patrick Witt, crypto advisor to President Trump.
