My guest today is SeedSigner, creator of the SeedSigner, an open-source air-gapped signing device designed to help you keep your bitcoin secure. Helping Bitcoiners both here in the US and around the world—in places like El Salvador—safeguard and preserve their wealth is a cause that’s important to me as my family went through this a generation ago. I also think, in my humble opinion, that this should be a priority for every Bitcoiner.

In this episode, we discuss and dig into:

• why holding your own keys is an important part of securing your bitcoin
• the importance and benefits of collaboration
• and a lot more…
