CoinDesk Podcast Network - BITCOIN SEASON 2: Bitcoin Needs Self Custody To Survive

Casa CEO Nick Neuman argues Bitcoin needs self-custody adoption to survive long-term. Without transaction fees from edge users, mining could become unprofitable, risking network security and potentially forcing protocol changes.


Nick Neuman, CEO & co-founder of Casa joins us to talk about why Bitcoin's future depends on self-custody adoption. Neuman argues that without users holding Bitcoin "at the edges" and generating transaction fees, mining incentives could collapse, potentially forcing changes to Bitcoin's 21 million supply cap or pushing institutions toward proof-of-stake alternatives.
