Crypto Voices: Episode 84

Show support appreciated: 35iDYDYqRdN2x6KGcpdV2W1Hy3AjGje9oL

Matthew interviews Rodolfo Novak, CEO and co-founder of Coinkite, the maker of Opendime and Coldcard, the latter of which is an ultra-secure bitcoin hardware wallet. Rodolfo joins for this 3-year anniversary show of Crypto Voices!

Rodolfo gives a full overview on the latest Coldcard Mark 3, covering all security features, the interface and setup, PSBTs, interacting with the microSD card, and what makes open-source hardware development different. He shares some great lessons and challenges when it comes to trust-minimization in the open-source world.

We spend a good portion of the show covering Bitcoin's ethos after all these years, who needs it, what it's useful for, as well as some interesting (possible) sector use cases, such as in the pot and porn industries.

We discuss privacy, geopolitics, inflation, interest rates, and more. Rodolfo also gives his outlook on bitcoin in the future. As you might imagine, he's quite bullish on the technical side alone.

Remember, as Rodolfo has said on two different CV shows, "If you're not running your own full node, you're not doing Bitcoin."
