TENTANG EPISODE INI
Bitcoin treasury companies were easy to launch when Bitcoin was rising. Then the market turned and the industry had to learn.Tim Kotzman has had a front-row seat to that process. As host of the Bitcoin Treasuries Podcast and co-founder of Bitcoin Treasuries Media, he has interviewed many of the executives, investors and analysts building this emerging industry.In this conversation, we explore what the recent bear market taught Bitcoin treasury companies, why Tim believes digital credit may be the industry's most important innovation, what separates the companies that adapted from those that struggled, and what could happen if Bitcoin enters another sustained bull market.
Interested in Bitcoin treasury companies? Many of the executives and investors shaping this industry will be at the Bitcoin Treasuries Conference in New York on September 28. Use code BOBD10 for 10% off your registration at https://bitcointreasuries.net/conference#ticketsBitcoin
We also discuss Tim's own unlikely path into the industry: starting a podcast almost by accident, building 21-hour digital conferences, launching an in-person event without a budget, and learning his way into a business as the industry itself was being created.Finally, we look ahead at MSCI, the risks facing Bitcoin treasury investors, the potential evolution of these companies into major financial institutions, and why curiosity and adaptability may be the real competitive advantages in a rapidly changing market.Tim Kotzman: Bitcoin Treasuries Podcast / Bitcoin Treasuries MediaSubscribe to Exploring Prosperity for conversations and essays about Bitcoin, markets, economics, technology and human progress.Thank you very much to our sponsors:
* Foundation.xyz: When it comes to protecting your Bitcoin, you shouldn’t have to simply trust the company that made your hardware wallet.
Foundation believes in verifiability over reputation. Its firmware and apps are open source, its builds are reproducible, and both Passport Core and Passport Prime have undergone independent hardware security audits. The point isn’t simply that Foundation says its products are secure. It’s that you can verify that for yourself.
Foundation is also expanding what users can control:
* Passport Prime goes beyond Bitcoin. It can manage passwords and two-factor authentication codes, serve as a FIDO2 security key, and provide encrypted storage—all on a device you own and control. Foundation also plans to enable app sideloading, opening Prime to applications from independent developers.
* Users can now add their own entropy. The latest Envoy and KeyOS releases allow users to introduce their own randomness when creating a seed, reducing reliance on the device itself to generate it.
