I talk to Master Ben Westgate and @BtCPavao about how to store bitcoin safely with Bitcoin Core on an old laptop, generating and backing up keys, the problems with BIP39 seed phrases, when multisig makes sense, custodians, and why gambling and lending destroy stacks.

I make the case for Bitcoin as apolar money, the only workable alternative to a government global reserve currency and a unipolar world order, and explain how geopolitical developments underscore this role.
