What I Got Wrong About Bitcoin Self-Custody | Bitcoin Banter

<p>Most Bitcoiners make at least one self-custody mistake. Between them, our guests have made nearly all of them.</p>

<p>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.</p>

<p>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.</p>

<p>Still keeping your Bitcoin on an exchange? Watch this before you repeat their mistakes.</p>
