rbitcoin: Bitcoin Full Node With Zero Human Code | reardencode SLP775

Mike Belshe, co-founder and CEO of BitGo, walks through how institutional Bitcoin custody actually works in 2026: qualified custody, self-custody co-signing, and why BitGo still centers a 2-of-3 model after pioneering P2SH multisig in 2013.BitGo now operates as a US-regulated qualified custodian and public company, while still offering the same wallet stack individuals can run in self-custody mode. The conversation covers what “institutional security” means in practice — HSM-backed co-signing, open-source recovery paths, multi-jurisdictional key storage (including how BitGo moved WBTC when US regulation looked hostile), and why on-chain multisig still beats vendor-locked MPC for cold ops.They also dig into the political and operational risks around large Bitcoin holdings: KYC and PII as honeypots, France tying names to amounts, the war on cash reaching Bitcoin, and whether an EO 6102-style confiscation risk still belongs in the threat model. On the institutional side, Belshe pushes back on multi-custodian setups that add failure modes, explains insurance limits versus the size of the Bitcoin market, and why splitting wallets matters after events like Bybit.Timestamps00:00 — Intro: Mike Belshe of BitGo00:59 — Don't Lose Self-Custody's Power05:41 — Retail Deserves Institutional Security07:16 — Humans Are Terrible at OpSec09:56 — 2-of-3 Protects Theft and Loss14:35 — Retail Pays 160 Basis Points19:22 — Why People Drift Toward Banks20:35 — Self-Custody Is Never Trustless23:39 — Why BitGo Sticks to 2-of-330:31 — A Public CEO Holds Zero at Home31:27 — KYC Leaks Are Government Honeypots39:28 — France Doxed Bitcoin Holdings41:30 — War on Cash Reaches Bitcoin43:45 — Multi-Jurisdictional Key Storage45:29 — Executive Order 6102 Could Return47:43 — Quantum-Resistant Wallets Today49:27 — Multisig Beats MPC53:33 — Splitting Custodians Adds Failures58:29 — 2-of-2 MPC Can't Recover Loss01:00:57 — $5–7B Insurance vs $1.6T Bitcoin01:03:35 — Bybit Lost 10x by Not Splitting01:05:21 — Multi-Institution vs Qualified CustodyLinks: <ul><li><a href="https://x.com/mikebelshe">https://x.com/mikebelshe</a></li><li>https://x.com/bitgo</li></ul>Stephan Livera links:<ul><li>Follow me on X:<a href="https://twitter.com/stephanlivera"> @stephanlivera</a></li><li><a href="https://plinkhq.com/i/1415720320">Subscribe to the podcast</a></li><li><a href="https://stephanlivera.substack.com/">Subscribe to Substack</a></li></ul>
