About this episode

Michael Jordan discusses the importance of Bitcoin self-custody and personal sovereignty.

In this episode, I’m joined by Michael Jordan from The Bitcoin Way, one of the world’s leading cyber-security focused Bitcoin self-custody teams, to break down what Bitcoin really means once you move beyond price and hype. We talk about Michael’s personal journey into Bitcoin, how he came to work in the space and get paid in Bitcoin, what self-custody actually looks like in practice, and how beginners can get started safely without making costly mistakes. This conversation goes deep into sovereignty, responsibility, and why securing your own keys is essential if Bitcoin is truly going to protect your wealth, freedom, and long-term future.
