Your Bitcoin Isn’t Safe on an Exchange | Mt. Gox Victim Explains Why
Description
In this episode, I’m joined by Philipp Hoenisch, co-founder of Lendasat, a company building Bitcoin-backed loans in a non-custodial way.
Philipp learned “not your keys, not your coins” the hard way where he lost Bitcoin during the Mt. Gox collapse.
We unpack what that experience actually felt like, why so many people still leave life-changing money on exchanges, and what self-custody really is.
We also explore Bitcoin-backed loans, how they work, and the real risks (especially custody risks and liquidation).
