This week in Bitcoin: hardware wallet vulnerabilities hit BitBox and BitKey, while Trezor customers' data is leaked - raising serious questions about hardware security and self-custody. Exchanges suffer data breaches and show they are willing to hand over your personal data to authorities without hesitation. The French Tax Authority once again proves that third parties cannot be trusted with your financial data.

Michael Saylor responds to an MSTR stockholder about dilution concerns, a reminder that corporate Bitcoin exposure is not the same as owning Bitcoin. And finally, we discuss why Bitcoin's price suddenly jumped more than 10% this week. From wallet security to exchange risks to economic policy, the lesson is the same: self-custody is the only path.

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.

In this episode, Bitcoin educator Zane Truscott joins Michael Jordan to discuss Bitcoin adoption in Australia and the controversial Travel Rule. Zane shares takeaways from BTC Prague, including the growth of Bitcoin as an industry with Plan B residencies and Citadel communities.

He breaks down Australia's Travel Rule, explaining why self-custody makes you financially autonomous regardless of regulations. The conversation explores low versus high time preference, how fiat conditions society toward instant gratification, and why Bitcoiners must relearn sound money values.

Zane also discusses Australia's slide toward a "nanny state," why elections won't fix broken money, and his unpopular opinion that access to our money is coming under threat. Learn why mastering self-custody is critical as governments push for financial surveillance.

Self-custody isn't complete without verification. If you're not running a Bitcoin node, you're still trusting someone else's computer to confirm your balance and transactions. Tony explains what a Bitcoin node actually does, why nodes (not miners) enforce Bitcoin's rules, and how thousands of node operators stopped the 2017 block size increase. Running your own Bitcoin node is the missing piece of true Bitcoin self-custody, and it's easier than you think. Learn how to get started with anything from a plug-and-play device to an old laptop, and take the final step toward real Bitcoin sovereignty.
