About this episode
The team at Keystone sent me a wallet to try out, and I love it. In this interview, I learn more about the highly secure hardware wallet, which is continuously audited, open-source on all levels, and can even be created with off-the-shelf parts for those who don't trust the hardware. This truly is a secure piece of hardware for any crypto enthusiast.
