Coldcard Had One Job
<p>George Bodine woke up at 5am, saw the Coldcard news, and drove through the dark with shaking hands to move his Bitcoin before someone else could. He made it. Others lost everything. </p>
<p>In the August episode, Bob Burnett, Larry Lepard, and George Bodine break down what actually went wrong inside Coldcard — the "one in a quadrillion" collisions their own support line saw, why the seed phrases were hiding in a drop of water instead of the universe, and what a former fighter pilot's checklist discipline looks like when your stack is on the line. </p>
<p>Then: the BIP110 chain split is real. Bob explains why Barefoot Mining stopped signaling in June, what the four-block fork means, why the next upgrade will need exchanges, treasuries, and Wall Street to agree — and what to do if you get airdropped the fork coin. </p>
<p>Self-custody was the whole point. Is it still? </p>
<p>Not financial advice. Do your own research. </p>
