BITCOIN INSURANCE, WRENCH ATTACKS, KIDNAPPING & RANSOM, & INHERITANCE SECURITY | Becca Rubenfeld

"Ultimately we determined that the only true solution–TRUE solution–to a wrench attack is insurance." In this episode of THE Bitcoin Podcast, host Walker America sits down with Becca Rubenfeld, co-founder of AnchorWatch, for a conversation on the future of Bitcoin insurance, self-custody security, and wrench attack protection. They dive deep into how AnchorWatch is revolutionizing Bitcoin custody through its insured multi-sig Trident Vault, using MiniScript to blend cryptographic guarantees with traditional Lloyd’s of London insurance. Becca shares AnchorWatch’s journey from startup to becoming the only retail-accessible Lloyd’s crypto coverholder and explains how their solution solves critical pain points for Bitcoiners—including inheritance, estate planning, and fraud prevention. You’ll learn: • Why AnchorWatch created a Bitcoin-native insurance layer • How their recovery layer ensures foolproof inheritance for families • Why ransomware and wrench attacks are rising—and how AnchorWatch defends against them • The difference between K&R insurance and standard Bitcoin loss coverage • AnchorWatch’s future plans for Bitcoin-denominated policies and Bitcoin-backed yield • How their infrastructure could power future Bitcoin mortgage collateralization • The surprising problem with most Bitcoiners’ “treasure map” inheritance plans FOLLOW BECCA: https://x.com/BeccaAmilee https://www.anchorwatch.com/ THE Bitcoin Podcast Partners: > GET FOLD: https://use.foldapp.com/r/WALKER > SIGN UP FOR THE FOLD BITCOIN REWARDS CREDIT CARD: https://foldapp.com/credit-card?r=UZoiP > Get the BITKIT mobile wallet: https://get.bitkit.to/walker > http://bitbox.swiss/walker -- use promo code WALKER for 5% off the Bitcoin-only Bitbox02 hardware wallet. ***** If you enjoy THE Bitcoin Podcast you can help support the show by doing the following: FOLLOW ME (Walker) on @WalkerAmerica on X | @TitcoinPodcast on X | Nostr Personal (walker) | Nostr Podcast (Titcoin) | Instagram Subscribe to THE Bitcoin Podcast (and leave a review) on Fountain | YouTube | Spotify | Rumble | EVERYWHERE ELSE
