Summary
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.
