Rethinking Self Custody, From Seed Phrases to Kidnapping to Inheritance.

from The Future of Money

With Dmitry Tokarev, Founder of BRON, on why the seed phrase is on its way out and what self custody looks like when institutional-grade security finally reaches everyone. In this episode, we discuss: Why the private key is never assembled in one place, so there is nothing to steal and nothing to keep in cold storage Why security technology follows the same path as GPS, from governments and militaries to institutions to everyone Guardians and approval rules, including requiring sign-off from an accountant or assistant on transactions over a set amount What protects your assets if you are physically threatened or kidnapped The hidden-account feature that lets you pin a balance so it disappears from your own interface Why physical security has quietly become one of the biggest topics in crypto Why no security model can rest on the promise that you will not get hacked, especially against Lazarus and North Korean operations Where DeFi goes next, and why its real value is orchestration and risk management, not just holding assets in smart contracts Why the "boring" problems, like wills and inheritance, are usually the ones that matter most Learn more about BRON https://bit.ly/4wESiO8
