Most Bitcoin losses aren’t hacks… they’re mistakes.

In this episode, Keith Gardner, Founder of Branta, introduces a breakthrough in Bitcoin payment security: pre-payment verification. Branta’s technology adds a simple but powerful verification step that ensures every Bitcoin or Lightning payment goes exactly where it should. No new protocol, no compromise on privacy, just a smarter way to send Bitcoin safely.

If you’ve ever sent Bitcoin to the wrong address or worried about Lightning payments going astray, this episode shows how Branta’s privacy-first verification layer quietly prevents fraud and human error without changing Bitcoin itself. 🔑 Bitcoin payment security, pre-payment verification, Lightning Network, Branta, Bitcoin UX, Keith Gardner, Bitcoin scams, Bitcoin business tools, crypto safety, Bitcoin innovation, Bitcoin usability.
