147 : Bankless by Design: Rob Segers on Bitcoin Self-Custody, Risk, and Resilience

In this episode of Living on Blockchain, I sit down with Rob Segers, the sharp mind behind Bitsaga, to explore what it truly means to live bankless by design. Rob is a staunch advocate for Bitcoin self-custody, personal sovereignty, and building systems that reduce reliance on traditional financial infrastructure. We dig into: Why Rob believes Bitcoin is not just an investment but a lifestyle shift How self-custody unlocks freedom (and responsibility) What he’s learned from running Bitsaga — and where the project is headed The psychology of risk in decentralized systems Whether regulation is a threat, or a distraction This isn’t just a conversation about crypto. It’s a deeper look at how values, systems, and individual choices intersect in the Web3 age. If you’re thinking about sovereignty, censorship resistance, or just want a fresh perspective from someone who’s actually walking the talk, this one’s for you.
