In this episode of the podcast I sit down with Rob Segers — founder of Belgium’s first Bitcoin‑only startup, Bitsaga — for an unfiltered deep dive into Bitcoin’s revolutionary power, the hidden risks of centralized finance, and the journey from crypto speculation to true self‑custody. Rob shares how a simple Lightning Network payment shifted him from chasing altcoin “shiny objects” to embracing Bitcoin as freedom technology, and recounts the shocking story of being arbitrarily unbanked by two major Belgian banks. You’ll learn why Bitcoin’s unique “immaculate conception,” decentralization, and proof‑of‑work security set it apart from every other cryptocurrency — and get a clear, step‑by‑step blueprint for moving your Bitcoin off exchanges into hardware wallets and multisig setups. Whether you’re new to Bitcoin or looking to level up your custody game, this episode delivers actionable insights to safeguard your wealth — and reclaim your financial sovereignty.Follow Rob:X: @BitsagaRobWebsite: https://bitsaga.be/
