The West is Next: Self Custody is the Only Escape | Tony Yazbak

from We Are Satoshi · host Kyle Huber

In this episode, I sit down with Tony from The Bitcoin Way to explore what it actually means to live on a Bitcoin standard — not as a theory, but in real life.Tony shares the story of waking up in Lebanon to find that the banks had been shut down and citizens’ savings were effectively confiscated overnight. It didn’t make global headlines, and most of the world still doesn’t know it happene — but it’s a warning. If it can happen there, it can happen anywhere.We discuss: • Why hyperinflation is already here, and most people don’t realize it • Why self-custody is not optional if you want to truly own Bitcoin • The difference between saving in Bitcoin vs. investing in assets that decay • How to evaluate hardware wallets & secure your Bitcoin properly • What it means to actually live on a Bitcoin standard today • Why Bitcoin is not just an investment — it’s a way of life • How to build sovereignty, privacy, and geographic optionality for your futureThis conversation goes beyond price targets and hype. It’s about preserving your time, your freedom, and your ability to live a meaningful life.If you're on the path toward sovereignty — this episode is for you. Timestamps:What is the Opportunity Right Now?
