The Dark Side of Bitcoin: Rising Threats

Jameson Lopp is the co-founder of Casa, and a long-time Bitcoin security expert.

In this episode, we discuss the state of Bitcoin self-custody, the growing threat of physical attacks on Bitcoiners, and why UX remains a major barrier to adoption. We also get into the ossification debate, whether Bitcoin development is stalling, and how institutional adoption could impact Bitcoin’s ability to upgrade. Finally, we explore inheritance planning, decoy wallets, on-chain privacy, and whether Bitcoin could face the same centralisation risks as email.
