Save Our Wallets: Bitcoiners Must Act To Defend Their Right To Transact

Bitcoin Magazine
Bitcoiners must support the "Satoshi Needs You!" campaign to protect self-custodial software rights via the BRCA provisions in the CLARITY Act.

Summary

The 'Save Our Wallets' initiative, a collaboration including the Bitcoin Policy Institute and CoinCenter, has launched the "Satoshi Needs You!" campaign in response to recent Department of Justice (DOJ) prosecutions against developers of self-custodial software like Samourai Wallet and Tornado Cash. These actions set dangerous precedents by targeting developers who never controlled user funds, contradicting existing DOJ and FinCEN guidance. The campaign urges Bitcoiners to rally and advocate for the inclusion of the Blockchain Regulatory Certainty Act (BRCA) provisions within the upcoming CLARITY Act. Kyle Olney, co-founder of SaveOurWallets.org, stressed that fundamental digital economic rights must be codified into law, calling on every Bitcoiner to contact their representatives to secure the right to transact for future generations.
