This episode features a comprehensive interview with Michele Federici. Previously involved with Seba Bank (now Amina Bank), Michele discusses his journey from a childhood fascination with computers and security, influenced by his grandfather, to pioneering the development of ultra-secure crypto storage solutions. He shares anecdotes from his early engagement with Bitcoin, insights into the complexities of crypto custody, and detailed explanations of technical challenges encountered while securing cryptocurrencies.  The conversation shifts to Federici's perspective on user interface improvements, self-custody solutions, and his vision for enhancing crypto security through innovative technologies like Multi-Party Computation (MPC) and zero-knowledge proofs. Towards the end, Federici provides personal insights on his inspirations, his first paycheck, and the non-financial best investment he's ever made — founding his company. https://www.linkedin.com/in/michelefederici/ https://michelefederici.com https://sig9.ch Support the showBecome a subscriber and help support this podcast with fiat currency, credit card or Apple Pay https://www.buzzsprout.com/2058047/supporters/new If you want to contribute to the podcast, you can listen to the episode in a lightning enabled podcast player and stream sats or send as a 1 off.
