I'm Bitcoin Only… But He Made Me Think...
Can trading altcoins actually help you accumulate more Bitcoin, or is it just another way to lose everything?
I'm Bitcoin only. Will Wright from Imperial Wealth isn't.
But after meeting Will in Bali and understanding his approach, I realised his philosophy was very different from what I'd initially assumed.
In this conversation, we challenge each other's thinking around Bitcoin, crypto, altcoins, market cycles and what it actually takes to build long-term wealth without getting caught up in the speculation.

The Hidden Risk of Letting Someone Else Hold Your Bitcoin
What is actually more dangerous... trusting yourself with your Bitcoin, or trusting someone else?
Two weeks ago, Bisher Khudeira from Stormrake and Tayne from Bitcoin Paradigm joined me for a debate on self-custody vs institutional custody.
We opened a few cans of worms... So they're back for Part 2.
This time we go much deeper into the question of whether self-custody can realistically scale, whether the individual is actually the biggest single point of failure, and what happens when governments, KYC and regulation enter the equation.

After an incredibly chaotic week in Bitcoin, I wanted to sit down and explain what happened, what I've learned helping Bitcoiners migrate their funds, and why I'm actually more bullish on self-custody than I was before.

URGENT! If You Use a COLDCARD, Watch This NOW
Coinkite has released a security advisory affecting seed generation on COLDCARD MK3, MK4, MK5 and Q firmware versions.
Stay calm. Rushing a wallet migration can be just as dangerous as the vulnerability itself. Double-check everything, send a small test transaction first, and never enter your seed phrase or passphrase into a website or share it with anyone.
