Episode 220
In this episode, McIntosh and Kenshin tackle one of Bitcoin's most critical aspects: proper seed phrase backup strategies. They explore various backup methods from basic pen-and-paper solutions to advanced metal stamping and creative approaches like hiding seed phrases in books. The hosts discuss essential security practices including backup redundancy, geographic distribution, inheritance planning, and advanced setups like multisig and Shamir's secret sharing. They also cover common costly mistakes, from digital storage mishaps to house fires, emphasizing why summer is the perfect time to audit and upgrade your backup systems based on your Bitcoin holdings.
Stick around to the very end for the v4v track, “Cyperpunks Not Dead” by Electrobadour.
