405: No VC, No Compromise: How Trezor Built a Crypto Hardware Empire on Its Own Terms with Guest Speaker Danny Sanders from Trezor
About this episode
Danny Sanders from Trezor discusses the company's journey in the hardware wallet industry and the importance of self-custody in the crypto space.
EPISODE DESCRIPTION I sat down with Danny from Trezor at BTC Prague to dig into everything they've built over the last 12 years , from pioneering the hardware wallet industry to shipping over 2 million devices without ever taking a cent of venture capital. We talked about the growing tension between Bitcoin institutionalisation and self-custody, why AI agents are actually the strongest argument yet for owning a hardware wallet, and what makes the Trezor Safe 7 a genuinely different product. Danny also opened up about the brutal realities of running a hardware startup through crypto's wild bull and bear cycles, and where Trezor is headed next , from inheritance solutions to everyday Bitcoin spending. If you care about truly owning your crypto, this one is for you. DISCLAIMER Nothing mentioned in this podcast is investment advice and please do your own research.
