Rethinking Tech: How Daylight Combines Hardware, Sovereignty, and Sound Money

In this episode of The Bitcoin Business Podcast, Brandon Karpeles speaks with Tristan Scott, co-founder of Daylight Computer—a privacy-first hardware company focused on building devices for a Bitcoin world.

Tristan shares his journey from the fiat tech industry to founding a company driven by Bitcoin values: sovereignty, long-term thinking, and human-centered design.

They dig into:

• Why he left mainstream hardware development to build something aligned with his principles
• How the current tech ecosystem is designed for distraction, not productivity
• Why privacy, open systems, and sound money go hand in hand
• The design philosophy behind Daylight Computer
• How low-time-preference thinking influences product cycles
• The importance of hardware sovereignty in the Bitcoin era
• Why building outside the Silicon Valley hype cycle is a feature, not a bug

Tristan’s approach blends technical expertise with a deep conviction for freedom and user empowerment—making this a must-listen for anyone interested in where Bitcoin meets hardware innovation.
