Today's guest on the show is @douglasbakkum who joins me to talk about whether or not Airgap technology makes #bitcoin wallets any more secure.

This conversation was sparked by the recent blog post that @shiftcrypto released regarding their deep dive study into airgap technology.
https://shiftcrypto.ch/blog/does-airgap-make-bitcoin-hardware-wallets-more-secure/

Why were their customers requesting for this feature to be built into the Bitbox and are there some misconceptions about the added security benefits?

What did @douglasbakkum and the @Shiftcrypto team discover when they back tested some previous hacks? If an air-gapped solution had been in place, would it have stopped the attackers?

What does the future hold for this technology and hardware wallets in general?

A huge thanks to @douglasbakkum for coming on the show and for the continued work and effort put into making #bitcoin accessible and safe for everyone to use.

I stand on the shoulders of giants, these guys are amazing.
