OPSEC in Practice Bitcoin vs The Surveillance State | Bitcoin 2026

After the Samourai and Tornado Cash prosecutions, building privacy tools around Bitcoin is now actively criminalized in most jurisdictions and the surveillance state is closing in fast. At the Bitcoin 2026 Conference, Foundation's Ben QnA moderates the OPSEC In Practice panel with Naomi Brockwell of the Ludlow Institute, Seth For Privacy of Cake Wallet, and former government AML lawyer OpnState. They cover the OECD's Crypto Asset Reporting Framework, the targeting of DeFi and self-custody wallets, holistic OPSEC hygiene, and the practical privacy stack every Bitcoiner should be building right now.
