Was Cold Card An Inside Job? | Self Custody Still Matters | Live W/ Joey, Neil and Vince

In this episode, the panel discusses the recent Cold Card incident, its implications for Bitcoin security, and the broader challenges of self-custody and hardware wallet vulnerabilities. They explore potential inside jobs, the importance of review and audits, and the future of Bitcoin security products.Bitcoin self-custody just got a brutal stress test. After the Coldcard controversy, Vince, Neil Jacobs, and Joey unpack what this says about hardware wallets, entropy, bounty programs, and whether Bitcoiners need a new playbook before the next vulnerability hits.What started as a reaction to the Coldcard incident quickly turns into a much bigger conversation about trust, code review, and the false sense of safety that comes from “industry standard” tools. Vince brings the user perspective, Neil digs into the technical and incentive failures, and Joey pushes the debate into the uncomfortable questions everyone is now asking: inside job or incompetence, paranoia or prudence, and what happens when the wallet you trusted becomes the thing that shakes the entire space.Joey's X Account: https://x.com/JoeyTweeetsNeil's X Account: ⁠https://x.com/NeilJacobsVince's X Account: https://x.com/HodlFloridaYouTube: ⁠‪‪‪ @TheBTCBroadcast  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thebitcoinbroadcast/Sponsors:Protect Your Seed Phrase with MicroSeed: ⁠https://microseed.io/?ref=TBB⁠Use Code "TBB" for 5% off your MicroSeedBitcoin Well: ⁠https://bitcoinwell.com/referral/vinc...Chapters00:00 Introduction and Panel Setup01:53 The Cold Card Incident: What Happened?03:50 Was it an Inside Job?
