Show Notes

"Whatever your setup is for storing the majority of your bitcoin - be it hot or cold, online or offline, software or hardware - if you can access and spend it in a matter of minutes, so can a robber armed with a $5 wrench. The _price_ for convenience is risk**. This is not merely a theoretical scenario; I have cataloged over 50 physical attacks against bitcoin users, including myself!" ~ Jameson Lopp

In this episode, we start our way into Jameson Lopp's comprehensive guide on safeguarding your Bitcoin from coercion, exploring practical strategies and multi-layered security measures.
