Michael shares his journey into Bitcoin, why The Bitcoin Way exists, and how they help everyday people secure their Bitcoin the right way.We talk about UTXOs vs Lightning, hot wallets vs cold storage, why treasury companies miss the point, and how Bitcoin enables simpler living, stronger communities, and real independence.
