Aaron Day on the #TBOT Show: Bitcoin, Surveillance & the Myth of Financial Privacy

In our latest #TBOT Show interview, I sat down with Aaron Day—founder of the Daylight Freedom Foundation and creator of projects like Technocracy Atlas, Freedom Forge, and Oasara.

We dive deep into the surveillance realities baked into Bitcoin, the lesser-known history of the network, and how regulation and enforcement are reshaping what many still believe is a private, sovereign financial system. Aaron challenges long-held assumptions and explains why simply “using crypto” is no longer enough if freedom is the goal.

In the second half (for paid members), the conversation widens to examine the rapid rise of AI, how it intersects with finance, surveillance, and governance, and why these systems shouldn’t be viewed in isolation.

It’s a conversation that pushes beyond surface-level narratives and asks bigger questions about autonomy, power, and the future we’re collectively building.
