Bitcoin Success School

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.

In this episode, I sit down with Dee from Coinkite, the team behind Coldcard, to break down Bitcoin self-custody, hardware wallets, seed phrases, privacy, inheritance planning, and the mistakes that put Bitcoiners at risk.

We explore why so many people leave Bitcoin on exchanges, the trade-offs between convenience and security, and why self-custody isn't as complicated as most people think.

We also discuss Coldcard, air-gapped security, seed phrases, privacy leaks, and what the future of Bitcoin self-custody could look like.

In this episode, I sit down with Dream Big Dreams to explore one of the most unique ideas I've heard in Bitcoin... a 500-year plan.

What started as a 200-year business strategy evolved into a multi-generational vision after discovering Bitcoin.

We discuss long-term thinking, legacy, inflation, estate planning, self-custody, and why most people are still thinking far too short-term.

In this episode, I sit down with Dale Warburton, founder of My Bitcoin Will, to discuss one of the most overlooked topics in Bitcoin:

What happens to your Bitcoin when you're no longer here?

Very few have a plan for passing that Bitcoin on to the people they care about.

We discuss the hidden risks of dying without a Bitcoin inheritance plan, why traditional estate planning often fails Bitcoiners, how privacy changes everything, and the simple steps every self-custodian should take to protect their family.
