Welcome to this thought-provoking episode of the Bitcoin Matrix, where we sit down with Fractal Encrypt to explore the exciting world of self-sovereignty. Today, we will delve into the controversial topics of Bitcoin and Psychedelics as tools for personal empowerment and freedom. Together, we will examine the boundaries of society and the limits of the individual, and discuss pressing questions around what does it mean to be a free and sovereign individual, what is the government allowed to regulate, and do you have the right to modify your own mind and and the right the modify your own computer?
