What happens to your Bitcoin if you die tomorrow? In Episode 61 of The Jake Woodhouse Podcast, I explore the core principles of self-custody, explain why it matters, and share a practical setup anyone can follow to take full control of their money. I cover common mistakes, the tradeoffs between convenience and security, and how to plan ahead so your Bitcoin is passed on with intention and clarity.
