In this previous episode of Final Settlement, I joined the show to tackle custodial threat vectors and the security challenges unique to Bitcoin. We discussed Bitcoin as apolitical money and its role as a digital bearer instrument, which brings with it the complex issue of secure custody. I shared insights from a recent personal security incident when my room was broken into at a Bitcoin conference in Lugano, underscoring the very real risks we face.

We explored the evolution of Bitcoin custody, the importance of multisig setups, and the approach of Onramp’s Multi-Institution Custody in mitigating custodial threats. Raising awareness about these risks is essential, and this conversation offered important takeaways for anyone looking to secure their Bitcoin. It’s a crucial discussion worth revisiting as the industry continues to grow.
