"You wouldn't buy a hundred dollars safe off of Amazon and put a million dollars in it. But that's kind of what Bitcoiners are doing with their hardware wallets." On this episode of THE Bitcoin Podcast, Erik Cason and Jesse Posner, founders of Vora, join Walker to discuss Bitcoin self-sovereignty, privacy, and security in the age of hyperbitcoinization. They explore how Vora's decentralized cryptographic key storage and advanced privacy tools—like zero-knowledge proofs and trusted execution environments—are designed to empower Bitcoiners with true custody, physical protection, and credible deterrence from $5 wrench attacks to 6102 events. The conversation ties American constitutional values and the castle doctrine to Bitcoin's rise, critiques fiat systems and TradFi narratives, and envisions a future where Bitcoiners own their safety, privacy, and freedom in a post-fiat world. https://vora.io/ FOLLOW ERIK: X: https://x.com/Erikcason Nostr: https://primal.net/erikcason FOLLOW JESSE: X: https://x.com/jesseposner Nostr: https://primal.net/p/nprofile1qqs93lfkaetywpwqkqteju07cr23hns9gt0m7l65d8n66ecfe7lh84syz8q5w THE Bitcoin Podcast Partners: > GET FOLD: https://use.foldapp.com/r/WALKER > SIGN UP FOR THE FOLD BITCOIN REWARDS CREDIT CARD: https://foldapp.com/credit-card?r=UZoiP > Get the BITKIT mobile wallet: https://get.bitkit.to/walker > http://bitbox.swiss/walker -- use promo code WALKER for 5% off the Bitcoin-only Bitbox02 hardware wallet. ***** If you enjoy THE Bitcoin Podcast you can help support the show by doing the following: FOLLOW ME (Walker) on @WalkerAmerica on X | @TitcoinPodcast on X | Nostr Personal (walker) | Nostr Podcast (Titcoin) | Instagram Subscribe to THE Bitcoin Podcast (and leave a review) on Fountain | YouTube | Spotify | Rumble | EVERYWHERE ELSE
