About 70% of Bitcoin is secured in a single-signature setup — but is that actually a problem? In this informative episode of Bitcoin Banter, Michael sits down with his Bitcoin Way colleagues Bert and Kyle to dive deep into one of the most debated topics in self-custody: singlesig vs. multisig Bitcoin self-custody setups.

They break down what each setup means, why The Bitcoin Way doesn't do "naked" singlesig, how a high-entropy passphrase changes the security equation, and why the multisig descriptor is a privacy risk most people overlook. They also cover seed backup redundancy, hardware wallet security, entropy generation, and why inheritance planning is what most Bitcoiners ignore until it's too late.

Don't miss this episode if you want to learn whether singlesig or multisig might be best for you.
