Secure Your Bitcoin: The Role of Insurance in Self-Custody - Becca Amilee
Season 1 Episode 207
Today, we have a special guest, Becca Amilee, co-founder of AnchorWatch, who joins us to discuss the importance of Bitcoin insurance for self-custody. Becca shares her journey into the Bitcoin world, her experience getting "orange pilled" on Clubhouse, and how AnchorWatch was born from the idea of providing insurance for self-custody of Bitcoin.
Becca explains the risks associated with self-custody and how AnchorWatch's platform, Trident Vault, offers a unique solution with their innovative MoneyScript technology. She delves into the spectrum of custody options, from single sig to multisig, and how AnchorWatch's model provides a middle ground with insurance coverage backed by Lloyd's of London.
We also explore the potential of using Bitcoin as collateral for loans, the importance of having a decoy wallet for security, and the future of insured Bitcoin-backed loans. Becca emphasizes the significance of insurance in protecting against risks like wrench attacks and the peace of mind it offers for inheritance planning.
Join us as we dive deep into the world of Bitcoin insurance, the challenges of self-custody, and the innovative solutions AnchorWatch is bringing to the table.
