Show Notes
The ColdCard hack sent shockwaves through Bitcoin's self-custody movement. Is this the end for CoinKite, or part of a much broader attack on self-custody?
In this episode, Michael, Tony, and Katie unpack the AI-assisted breaches hitting BTCPay Server and Lightning wallets, Strategy branding itself the "central bank of Bitcoin," BlackRock lowering IBIT minimums, and Simon Dixon's framework for seeing it all as a coordinated assault on Bitcoin sovereignty.
