## Resource

In this episode, I sit down with Michael Jordan from The Bitcoin Way to break down his journey from "crypto curious" to Bitcoin maxi during the 2022 collapses, why self-custody is non-negotiable, and why the yield on Bitcoin isn't measured in fiat returns... it's freedom. We talk about why collaborative custody is still a compromise, why banks offering to "hold your Bitcoin" is a trap waiting to spring, and how 80-year-old clients can run their own nodes while most people make excuses.
