The Bitcoin Way Podcast

The creator of SeedSigner — a former cop turned stay-at-home dad turned open-source Bitcoin developer — joins Michael Jordan to break down the ColdCard entropy bug, what it revealed about hardware wallet trust, and why NVK waged a years-long campaign against the SeedSigner project.

"Seed" explains how SeedSigner's intentional statelessness and air-gapped design minimizes the trust required from non-technical users, what actually happened with the OpenSats funding rejections, why DIY cold storage is more accessible than the Bitcoin community gives it credit for, and his strong take on why cloud-connected multi-sig solutions like BitKey are the wrong lesson to learn from the ColdCard incident.

Bitcoin just ripped 25% in a week, demonstrating why trying to time the market is a fool's game. But what caused it to jump so quickly?

In this episode of Bitcoin Banter, Michael, Tony, and Katie break down why the US Treasury is considering deploying nearly $1 trillion to suppress bond yields, a desperate move that could send capital flooding into Bitcoin. As the 30-year yield hits its highest level since 2007, your fiat wealth is at risk. Bitcoin isn't pumping; the dollar is breaking.

From Palantir's new AI surveillance system, Flock's CEO telling us it's all 'for our safety' to the UK's "mansion tax" and the Bitcoiner who is fighting crime as nearly $700K in Bitcoin was stolen in violent French home invasions, this week's Banter is not to be missed!

Ricky Zhang, host of the Age of Abundance podcast, joins Michael Jordan to explore Bitcoin, AI, and energy, and why their convergence is the biggest transformation in human history. Ricky frames Bitcoin by its end state rather than its mechanics, and what actually changes once the money is fixed. They discuss how AI is quietly erasing traditional jobs, what it means to raise children in a post-fiat world, and why Bitcoin is the first asset where physics defends the holder. Can fixing the money fix the world? Did Bitcoin really start as a right-wing movement only to end up somewhere else entirely? A wide-ranging conversation on Bitcoin self-custody and the end of fiat.

This week in Bitcoin: hardware wallet vulnerabilities hit BitBox and BitKey, while Trezor customers' data is leaked - raising serious questions about hardware security and self-custody. Exchanges suffer data breaches and show they are willing to hand over your personal data to authorities without hesitation. The French Tax Authority once again proves that third parties cannot be trusted with your financial data.

Michael Saylor responds to an MSTR stockholder about dilution concerns, a reminder that corporate Bitcoin exposure is not the same as owning Bitcoin. And finally, we discuss why Bitcoin's price suddenly jumped more than 10% this week. From wallet security to exchange risks to economic policy, the lesson is the same: self-custody is the only path.
