  • You need to know how to actually secure your Bitcoin beyond leaving it on an exchange! In this episode, Kenshin and McIntosh break down everything you need to know about Bitcoin wallets — the foundation of true self-sovereignty. You'll discover why wallets don't actually store Bitcoin (they manage your private keys), the critical difference between hot and cold storage, and how to properly backup your seed phrases without losing everything to fire, flood, or forgotten passwords.

    Learn their personal recommendations for beginners, advanced multisig setups for serious Bitcoin holders, and the essential 3-2-1 backup strategy that could save your Bitcoin from disaster. Plus, real horror stories of people losing millions and how you can avoid their mistakes.

    Whether you're taking your first Bitcoin off Coinbase or planning a bulletproof inheritance strategy, this episode gives you the practical roadmap to true Bitcoin self-custody.

    This isn't an episode about the weather really. But McIntosh was tangled up in the "snowstorm of the century" that snarled the entire southeast except the lower part of Florida. In addition to the brief snow talk we discuss the trust tradeoffs of using ecash based-systems like Cashu and Fediment. Scaling the Bitcoin mainchain is going to require layers and ecash-based systems backed by Bitcoin will be part of that future.

    Next week begins a new presidency in the United States. Promises of a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve (for better or for worse) have been made. The accumulation of Bitcoin as a national asset has begun for multiple countries.

    Where does this go? Trump has suggested that a SBR could be used to pay off the national debt. Is that even possible? Let's dive into the numbers and discuss where Bitcoin might go in the coming years.

    2024 was a banger of year. Kenshin and McIntosh sit down and discuss the good (NGU!!), the bad (Senator Warren) and the ugly (Operation Chokepoint 2.0). We also look forward to the new year. Where is Bitcoin going? What will the incoming US administration be doing and how is this going to affect Bitcoin?
