Your Privacy… GONE! - (Avoid This Mistake) | Hot Takes

Become a Client: https://www.thebitcoinway.com/podcast

This is a warning to Bitcoin holders about an active and evolving security threat.

Following major data breaches at hardware wallet companies, customer information - including names, contact details, and even home addresses - has been leaked and is now being used in targeted phishing and social-engineering attacks. Once personal data is exposed, it becomes a permanent attack surface, not a temporary problem.

Remember: no legitimate Bitcoin company will ever ask for your seed phrase or private keys - under any circumstances.

Custody models that prioritize convenience and scale over privacy and security are to be rejected. Centralized databases, connected devices, and closed systems create unavoidable points of failure that attackers exploit. Convenience may lower friction in the short term, but it dramatically increases long-term risk.

True Bitcoin security comes from minimizing dependencies and reducing data exposure:

Proper self-custody
Air-gapped, open-source, bitcoin-only wallets
Running a personal node
Eliminating single points of failure
Having clear recovery and inheritance plans

Sovereignty isn’t automatic. It requires education, responsibility, and systems designed for resilience—not convenience.

Tony reminds us that Bitcoin rewards those who take security seriously.
