Description

In this episode, I sit down with Dee from Coinkite, the team behind Coldcard, to break down Bitcoin self-custody, hardware wallets, seed phrases, privacy, inheritance planning, and the mistakes that put Bitcoiners at risk. We explore why so many people leave Bitcoin on exchanges, the trade-offs between convenience and security, and why self-custody isn't as complicated as most people think. We also discuss Coldcard, air-gapped security, seed phrases, privacy leaks, and what the future of Bitcoin self-custody could look like.

Why Being Normal Is The Riskiest Thing You Can Do

In this episode, I sit down with Michael O'Keefe, a Kiwi gold miner, Bitcoin stacker, content creator, and soon-to-be homeschooling father. We talk about buying Bitcoin near the top, learning through pain, questioning your beliefs, homeschooling, world-schooling, raising independent thinkers, and why many of the ideas we've accepted as normal deserve to be challenged.

The Craziest Bitcoin Idea I've Ever Heard (And It Makes Sense)

In this episode, I sit down with Dream Big Dreams to explore one of the most unique ideas I've heard in Bitcoin... a 500-year plan. What started as a 200-year business strategy evolved into a multi-generational vision after discovering Bitcoin. We discuss long-term thinking, legacy, inflation, estate planning, self-custody, and why most people are still thinking far too short-term.

What Happens To Your Bitcoin When You Die?

In this episode, I sit down with Dale Warburton, founder of My Bitcoin Will, to discuss one of the most overlooked topics in Bitcoin: What happens to your Bitcoin when you're no longer here? Very few have a plan for passing that Bitcoin on to the people they care about. We discuss the hidden risks of dying without a Bitcoin inheritance plan, why traditional estate planning often fails Bitcoiners, how privacy changes everything, and the simple steps every self-custodian should take to protect their family.
