Michael, Tony and Katie look at the debt behind the unrest in France and the rest of Europe, and ask whether your country could be next. Then PHP2Shell, a critical security flaw found by AI that could put 70% of the world's websites at risk, and why Tony is still waiting for the big one. Plus the IMF's warning of a “great repression”, Russia's ban on moving Bitcoin to self-custody wallets and Switzerland's new retail Bitcoin ETF.

Gabe Lord, an Iraq veteran, former Army recruiter and co-founder of the nonprofit Operation Bitcoin, argues they're primed for it. Many have seen the system from the inside and come out looking for a new mission. Michael and Gabe talk about the recruiter who refused to lie, the question Gabe asks every class (what is the dollar actually backed by?) and how the Bitcoin Veterans community raised over 1 BTC in three days for Hurricane Helene relief.

But is it really safer than a single-sig wallet? Tony walks you through how multisig works, who it suits and the two ways to set it up: collaborative custody and private multisig. He explains the hidden risks of collaborative custody that most people overlook and what you take on when you run private multisig yourself. He also shares the alternative he thinks is enough for most people, and the two things it has to get right. ========================= ⏱️ TIMESTAMPS: 00:00 – Is Multisig Really More Secure? 01:04 – What Is Multisig? 02:11 – Who Should Use Multisig 03:05 – Collaborative Custody Risks 06:14 – Private Multisig and Its Trade-offs 08:01 – Single-Sig With a Passphrase 08:46 – Get the Free Self-Custody Guide ========================= Follow Tony on X: https://x.com/V4BTC 🎧 LISTEN ON OTHER PLATFORMS: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheBitcoinWayRumble: https://rumble.com/user/thebitcoinwayRSS: https://feeds.buzzsprout.com/2334006.rss 🔗CONNECT WITH US: X: https://twitter.com/thebitcoinway_N: npub1lrj3lsskez59qu68v5fpnur7ythe7s5e4qcelclha6t6r9q5pqgsl2m LI: https://www.linkedin.com/company/thebitcoinway/IG: https://www.instagram.com/thebitcoinway_TT: https://www.tiktok.com/@thebitcoinway ❗DISCLAIMER: This show is for entertainment purposes only.

If the rules in your country changed tomorrow, where would you go? Without an answer, you don't have a Plan B. A second residency is how you make sure your country isn't your only choice. Tony explains why he thinks it's urgent, pointing to digital ID in the EU and Australia, the EU's limit on cash payments and age verification in the UK. He covers what most people get wrong about a Plan B, why a residency card in a drawer doesn't count, and what a Bitcoin circular economy changes about where you'd want to live. You'll hear why The Bitcoin Way's research keeps coming back to Panama, and how a backup plan can end up as something more. ========================= 🗓️ Join our free 3-part second residency webinar series, starting 28 October.

France has proposed a 31.4% exit tax on unrealised gains and compulsory declaration of self-custody wallets, while Germany could end Bitcoin's tax-free status after a year of holding. Michael, Tony and Katie ask whether it's time for European Bitcoiners to get out. Then a Ledger reseller in Southeast Asia is caught selling devices with a hidden implant, and Tony doesn't think the recent run of attacks on self-custody is a coincidence. Plus Denmark's population register breach, a cyber attack on French supermarket fridges, the CFTC chairman on self-custody and Australia's digital duty of care bill.

Most Bitcoiners make at least one self-custody mistake. Between them, our guests have made nearly all of them. In this special edition of Bitcoin Banter, Michael sits down with Mike from Bitcoin Straight Up and Bitcoin Katie to compare their journeys into Bitcoin self-custody. There are exchange collapses, Celsius and FTX, a hardware wallet bought from the wrong place and a seed phrase mistake that cost real Bitcoin. They also get into why collaborative custody wasn't enough, whether you need to be technical to hold your own keys, and what changes once you run your own node. Still keeping your Bitcoin on an exchange? Watch this before you repeat their mistakes. ========================= 🔑 Where's your seed phrase right now?

In this informative episode of Bitcoin Banter, Michael sits down with his Bitcoin Way colleagues Bert and Kyle to dive deep into one of the most debated topics in self-custody: singlesig vs. multisig Bitcoin self-custody setups. They break down what each setup means, why The Bitcoin Way doesn't do "naked" singlesig, how a high-entropy passphrase changes the security equation, and why the multisig descriptor is a privacy risk most people overlook. They also cover seed backup redundancy, hardware wallet security, entropy generation, and why inheritance planning is what most Bitcoiners ignore until it's too late.

A self-proclaimed white hat hacker exploited Blockstream's Liquid Network, minting fake LBTC and draining nearly 4,000 Bitcoin worth around $320M. The funds were held on-chain during public negotiations conducted through blockchain messages, with 85% eventually returned and around 600 BTC kept as a claimed 'consultancy fee'.

The creator of SeedSigner — a former cop turned stay-at-home dad turned open-source Bitcoin developer — joins Michael Jordan to break down the ColdCard entropy bug, what it revealed about hardware wallet trust, and why NVK waged a years-long campaign against the SeedSigner project. "Seed" explains how SeedSigner's intentional statelessness and air-gapped design minimizes the trust required from non-technical users, what actually happened with the OpenSats funding rejections, why DIY cold storage is more accessible than the Bitcoin community gives it credit for, and his strong take on why cloud-connected multi-sig solutions like BitKey are the wrong lesson to learn from the ColdCard incident. —------------------------ 🔑 Learn how to take 100% self-custody of your Bitcoin: https://www.thebitcoinway.com/services/bitcoin-self-custody-training?utm_source=tbw&utm_medium=fountain&utm_campaign=podcast&utm_content=desc 📖 Subscribe to our newsletter: https://www.thebitcoinway.com/resources/newsletter?utm_source=tbw&utm_medium=fountain&utm_campaign=podcast&utm_content=desc 📞 Schedule a FREE call: https://www.thebitcoinway.com/contact?utm_source=tbw&utm_medium=fountain&utm_campaign=podcast&utm_content=desc —------------------------ ⏱️ TIMESTAMPS: 00:00 Intro 01:26 The Cold Card entropy bug, explained 07:35 "The most notable feature of SeedSigner is how unambitious it is" 09:02 Dice rolls, BIP39 lottery and camera entropy 12:35 Why air-gapped QR signing shrinks the attack surface 13:38 From digital forensics cop to Bitcoiner 17:01 SeedSigner's origins: Specter DIY and a Raspberry Pi 25:57 A volunteer project, not a company 32:36 The NVK feud and the SeedQR criticism 38:32 Raspberry Pi firmware and supply chain trade-offs 44:03 Four OpenSats applications, four rejections 50:00 Single SeedSigner multisig vs multi-vendor multisig 1:01:03 Why "trust harder" is the wrong lesson from Cold Card —------------------------ Follow Seed on X: https://x.com/sesi_the_man Follow Michael Jordan on X: https://x.com/theothermjordan —------------------------ 🎧 LISTEN TO OUR OTHER EPISODES: Rumble: https://rumble.com/user/thebitcoinway Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-bitcoin-way-podcast/id1736983610 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2XXxtNdPsoGXIALpIOwByz Fountain: https://fountain.fm/show/XiUs8SaIGhj52qzET4P6 RSS: https://feeds.buzzsprout.com/2334006.rss ABOUT OUR SHOW: On The Bitcoin Way Podcast, Michael Jordan talks to guests with a wide range of expertise and skillsets related to Bitcoin, including investing, macroeconomic and financial trends, mining, education, and more.

But what caused it to jump so quickly? In this episode of Bitcoin Banter, Michael, Tony, and Katie break down why the US Treasury is considering deploying nearly $1 trillion to suppress bond yields, a desperate move that could send capital flooding into Bitcoin. As the 30-year yield hits its highest level since 2007, your fiat wealth is at risk. Bitcoin isn't pumping; the dollar is breaking. From Palantir's new AI surveillance system, Flock's CEO telling us it's all 'for our safety' to the UK's "mansion tax" and the Bitcoiner who is fighting crime as nearly $700K in Bitcoin was stolen in violent French home invasions, this week's Banter is not to be missed! —------------------------ ⏱️ TIMESTAMPS: 00:00 Bitcoin's 25% Weekly Surge 03:46 US Treasury Bond Yields Crisis 09:01 Palantir Surveillance System 16:38 UK Property Tax Laws 22:19 Our Bitcoiner of the Week - Helping to Bring Criminals to Justice —------------------------ 🎧 LISTEN TO OUR POD & OTHER EPISODES: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheBitcoinWay Rumble: https://rumble.com/user/thebitcoinway RSS: https://feeds.buzzsprout.com/2334006.rss 🎙ABOUT OUR SHOW: On Bitcoin Banter, Michael and members of The Bitcoin Way team discuss current events related to Bitcoin, macroeconomics, finance, politics, and more.

Ricky frames Bitcoin by its end state rather than its mechanics, and what actually changes once the money is fixed. They discuss how AI is quietly erasing traditional jobs, what it means to raise children in a post-fiat world, and why Bitcoin is the first asset where physics defends the holder. Can fixing the money fix the world? Did Bitcoin really start as a right-wing movement only to end up somewhere else entirely? A wide-ranging conversation on Bitcoin self-custody and the end of fiat. —------------------------ ⏱️ TIMESTAMPS: 00:00 Bitcoin's end state (Age of Abundance) 07:20 Why Bitcoin fixes the money 08:10 Creative destruction: fiat vs Bitcoin 10:06 How AI replaces jobs 13:38 How fast will change happen 18:03 Gradually, then suddenly 20:53 Raising kids in a Bitcoin world 23:29 Bitcoin fades into the background 24:21 Bitcoin solves human coordination 27:51 Government shrinks on a Bitcoin standard 32:44 Fix the money, fix the world 38:57 Bitcoin rewards serving, not dominating 40:07 Personal responsibility in the AI age 43:33 Art, meaning, and work after AI 48:09 Physics defends the Bitcoin holder 51:40 Bitcoin: right-wing start, left-wing destination —------------------------ Follow Michael on X: https://x.com/theothermjordan Follow Ricky on X: https://x.com/RealRicky —------------------------ 🎧 LISTEN TO OUR OTHER EPISODES: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheBitcoinWay Rumble: https://rumble.com/user/thebitcoinway RSS: https://feeds.buzzsprout.com/2334006.rss 🎙ABOUT OUR SHOW: On The Bitcoin Way Podcast, Michael Jordan talks to guests with a wide range of expertise and skillsets related to Bitcoin, including investing, macroeconomic and financial trends, mining, education, and more. 🔗CONNECT WITH US: X: https://twitter.com/thebitcoinway_ N: npub1lrj3lsskez59qu68v5fpnur7ythe7s5e4qcelclha6t6r9q5pqgsl2m LI: https://www.linkedin.com/company/thebitcoinway/ IG: https://www.instagram.com/thebitcoinway_ TT: https://www.tiktok.com/@thebitcoinway Newsletter: https://www.thebitcoinway.com/resources/newsletter ❗DISCLAIMER: This show is for entertainment purposes only.
