The Coldcard disaster was a brutal reminder that Bitcoin security never sleeps...

In this conversation, I’m joined by long-time Australian Bitcoiner and entrepreneur Michael Dunworth to unpack what the last few weeks in Bitcoin actually tell us about self-custody, security and the direction Bitcoin is heading.

We cover:

- Why he believes Bitcoin needs to stay focused on being money
- The problem with scope creep in Bitcoin
- Bitcoin Core vs Knots and why multiple implementations matter
- Why the Coldcard vulnerability should be a wake-up call for the entire industry
- Why security is an arms race that never ends
- Whether the Coldcard situation should make people reconsider self-custody
- Why self-custody is a spectrum rather than an all-or-nothing decision
