Francesco Madonna was nearly the victim of a sophisticated Bitcoin scam. That close call changed everything.
In this powerful episode, he shares how that experience led him to build BitVault—a revolutionary Bitcoin wallet that uses time-locked multi-sig and open-source safeguards to stop both hackers and physical attackers in their tracks.
We dive into:
• The scam that nearly cost Francesco his Bitcoin (and maybe more)
• How BitVault works to protect your Bitcoin with time as a shield
• Why phishing and AI-driven hacks are the biggest threat to self-custody
• How Francesco's military background shaped his approach to Bitcoin security
• The future of custody, open-source tools, and the BitVault beta release
If you're curious about how time locking bitcoin transforms self-custody, this episode is a must-watch.
