In the wake of the Coldcard exploit Alex Bragan, CTO of Jan3, and Prince Filip, Chief Strategy Officer of Jan3, join the show to look at the future of Bitcoin, whether self-custody survives and if this is the start of the end for the sovereign individual or the beginning of a radical new form of government and global politics.

They also break down what happened how AI is rocking the Bitcoin world for bad (and good), and why they believe we are witnessing its anti-fragility in action.

They also cover the newly released B20 report ranking every country on Bitcoin adoption, why Prince Filip believes monarchies might be the future of good governance, and why the energy side of Bitcoin mining is the most exciting frontier for the rest of the decade.

Here is what we cover:

• Why AI is now being used by black hat hackers to probe critical Bitcoin infrastructure and why Boltz had to shut down

• Prince Filip's own close call with the Coldcard exploit while on vacation and why older firmware saved him

• Why going from open source to source available is what actually caused this entire problem

• The ethics of white hat hackers preemptively draining vulnerable wallets before criminals can

• Why the 25th word BIP-39 passphrase protected many people during this exploit and why you need one

• How Aqua Wallet generates entropy and what additional randomness sources are coming

• Why Bitcoin cannot be frozen but can be made harder to spend and why exchanges rejecting stolen coins matters

• The new B20 report ranking every country on Bitcoin adoption and why the US takes the top spot largely due to seized coins

• Why the UK ranks surprisingly high and what that reveals about the scoring methodology

• Why Bhutan is one of the best examples of practical nation state Bitcoin usage today

• Why Prince Filip believes Switzerland's federated cantonal system is the best functioning democracy in the world

• The case for monarchy 2.0 and why Liechtenstein's monarch retaining veto power tells you something important about stability

• How Bitcoin mining is quietly starting an energy renaissance, from stranded solar to communist-era district heating systems

• Why AI could either massively expand personal freedom or become the ultimate surveillance tool for governments

This is one of the most wide-ranging conversations on Bitcoin security, geopolitics, and governance you'll find this year.
