## Resource

George Bodine joins the Bitcoin Infinity Show to talk about Bitcoin self-custody, running a node, and why paper Bitcoin held through treasury companies and ETFs carries counterparty risk that real cold storage does not. Knut and George dig into the Core versus Knots debate, BIP-110, the power law disagreement, and the risks facing Bitcoin treasury companies as financialization accelerates. Along the way they explore creativity as the opposite of productivity, the discipline of dropping your ego, and what a life of integrity looks like through the eyes of an artist and former fighter pilot.
