Episode notes

Martin Matejka joins the Bitcoin Infinity Show to talk about using Bitcoin as collateral for loans without handing your coins to a trust me bro platform like the ones that collapsed in the last cycle. He and Knut get into how Firefish uses Bitcoin layer one tools like multisig, timelocks, and partially signed transactions to keep counterparty risk low, why borrowing in fiat is really a bet against a failing currency, and how self-custody changes what it even means to own an asset. The conversation widens into real estate as a store of value, the illusion of ownership under central planning, and why sound money and abundant energy point toward a freer future.
