The REAL Reason Bitcoin Could Fail (And How to Stop It) | Becca Rubenfeld

Becca Rubenfeld from Anchor Watch discusses Bitcoin inheritance solutions and insurance protocols that solve the "treasure map" problem plaguing Bitcoin holders. The conversation covers how Anchor Watch's unique custody model using time locks and multi-institutional recovery layers enables seamless inheritance without beneficiaries needing to understand Bitcoin or key management. Rubenfeld explains the rising threat of Bitcoin wrench attacks, with 30 public incidents reported by mid-2025, and how insurance provides the only true backstop against these violent crimes. The discussion explores Bitcoin as collateral in traditional finance, with banks increasingly accepting Bitcoin-backed loans when proper insurance is in place. Anchor Watch's Lloyd's of London backing provides uncorrelated premium revenue while enabling institutional adoption through qualified custodian status and custom insurance policies for large Bitcoin treasury companies.
