Making Bitcoin Self-Custody Easy with Rich Grambergs - Blockstream Talk #21
Welcome back to Blockstream Talk. Today, we're talking to Rich Gramberg from the Jade product and support team. After a long list of blow ups over the last couple of quarters across the exchange, lending and fund spaces, and now also failures emerging within the banking sector, counterparty risk and the importance of self custody is really being highlighted. The topic of today's conversation is all things Jade covering the importance of taking self-custody your Bitcoin, where demand for hardware wallets is strongest, how to build your own device if you're so inclined, and new features that are in the pipeline for the second half of this year.
