Douglas Bakkum, CEO of ShiftCrypto, and Co-Creator of the BitBox02 (bitcoin-only) Hardware Wallet

Buying bitcoin is not enough. It is essential to take self-custody of your bitcoin, to benefit from the full self-sovereignty over your money that bitcoin permits.   Hardware wallets have become the preferred way to custody bitcoin, which makes it important to understand how they are developed and built.   Therefore, I thought it would be interesting to have the co-creator of popular hardware wallet, the BitBox02 (bitcoin-only edition), on the show, to discuss all the details that go in to these extremely important devices.   Enjoy!   -- DISCLAIMER: The BitBox02 is a sponsor of this show.   More from Douglas / ShiftCrypto:  TWITTER: https://twitter.com/douglasbakkum TWITTER: https://twitter.com/ShiftCryptoHQ WEBSITE: https://shiftcrypto.ch/bitbox02/bitcoin-only/?utm_source=rapidfire&utm_medium=webcast&utm_campaign=landingpage&ref=rapidfire    More from me:  TWITTER: http://bit.ly/2P7PUjA YOUTUBE: https://bit.ly/3aBbZxg MEDIUM: http://bit.ly/2Zk0Dex INSTAGRAM: http://bit.ly/30r7IqY  The BitBox02 Bitcoin-Only Hardware Wallet is a safe and easy way to do so.

Bitcoin is the future of money, that is my firm belief. I use this show to learn more about this phenomenon, and its various implications, from some of the brightest minds in the space, and beyond. I'm not trying to educate or inform anyone, I'm sharing my own journey of attempting to understand bitcoin, and delving in to some of the less obvious, but incredibly profound, aspects of its emergence in the global culture.
