ABOUT THIS EPISODE

CryptoQuikRead_272 - Statechains, Sending Keys Not Coins [Aaron Van Wirdum]

From Bitcoin Magazine, today we read Aaron's piece on the recently conceptualized "Statechains" from the mind of Ruben Somsen. An entirely different way to think of exchanging Bitcoin, by handing keys to the receiver, rather than sending coins. Don't miss the read & a really fun discussion about the tech to follow.

Check out BitcoinMagazine.com for the full article and the best place for Bitcoin news and information! Dropping a link to Aaron's main page because he has a number of recent articles that are also wonderful (specifically recommend "The 'Noinput Class'")

Learning the Wrong Lessons

Aug. 28, 2026 · transcript

Thousands of careful Bitcoiners just got wiped out by a Coldcard entropy bug, and I use this episode to push back hard on the idea that self-custody is dead, and "don't trust, verify" failed us. I walk through the brutal history of centralized custodial failures, explain why "holding your own k…
