“Bitcoin Will Not Save You" Samuel Armes on Florida Politics, Maxis & CBDCs | BitcoinDay Tampa
At Bitcoin Day Tampa, we sat down with Samuel Armes — part freedom fighter, part legislative architect — to unpack the raw truth about Bitcoin adoption, political reality, and the fight against CBDCs in Florida.
From working with Special Operations Command on shutting down Bitcoin, to drafting America’s first state-level CBDC ban, Armes has been on the inside shaping Bitcoin-friendly policy. In this unfiltered conversation, he calls out Maxi blindspots, explains why the Florida Strategic Bitcoin Reserve failed, and delivers a sobering message:
“Bitcoin will not save you. Castles fall. Community is what matters.”
These are the conversations that matter.Full spectrum. All angles.
