Bitcoin Security Expert Explains the Biggest Wallet Hack in History

Over $100 million in Bitcoin has already been stolen in what may be the biggest hardware wallet security failure in Bitcoin history. Mark Moss sits down with physicist and Bitcoin security expert Dhruv Bansal to break down exactly what happened with the Coldcard firmware vulnerability, why so many wallets were affected, and what Bitcoin holders should do right now to protect themselves.

They also discuss why single points of failure are the real problem, whether self custody is too difficult for the average person, why multisig changes the security model, and how this event could permanently change the future of Bitcoin security.
