The Sovereign Life with Dale Warburton

Self-custody is only half the job. In this episode of The Why Bitcoin Show , I unpack one of the most overlooked risks in Bitcoin: inheritance. Because it’s one thing to secure your bitcoin while you’re alive — it’s another thing entirely to make sure the people you love can actually access it if you die. I break down the three major gaps most Bitcoiners have in their inheritance planning: the tec...

It's that magical time of the year when we get together with Daz, Brendo and Hats and talk about the year that's been. CAUTION: Brendo's sound was weak AF and we apologise for that!

For example, in the U.S., the median home price in 1980 was...
