For years, I’ve said that Bitcoin security is not only about protecting your assets from theft. It is about protecting your family from uncertainty.

Last year, I experienced that reality firsthand with a client’s family.

The client passed away unexpectedly. Thankfully, because we had implemented a proper 2-of-3 MultiSig inheritance structure beforehand, his wife was able to recover and access the family’s Bitcoin securely and legally, without panic, guesswork, or dependence on hidden passwords or devices.

What struck me most was how differently the outcome could have looked.

Before our setup, the entire Bitcoin holding relied on one person surviving. One hardware wallet. One seed phrase. One person who understood the system. If something happened to him, there was a very real possibility the Bitcoin could have been lost forever, not through theft, but through poor planning.

This is one of the most misunderstood risks in Bitcoin.

Most people focus on hackers, exchanges, or scammers. Very few stop to consider a simpler question: what happens to your Bitcoin if you are no longer here tomorrow?

Proper MultiSig changes that entirely.

A well-structured 2-of-3 MultiSig vault removes single points of failure and creates redundancy without giving up ownership. No single compromised key can steal the Bitcoin. No single lost device destroys access. Most importantly, no family is left trying to decode a secret system while grieving.

People often view proper custody as an unnecessary expense because nothing visibly happens when it is working correctly. But that is precisely the point. The value only becomes obvious during moments of crisis.

The best Bitcoin strategies are not only about accumulation. They are about survivability, continuity, and inheritance.

Because protecting wealth for generations requires more than buying Bitcoin. It requires ensuring the people you love can actually access it when life inevitably changes.

Absolute Scarcity. On 9 March 2026 we saw the practical outworking of Bitcoin's incredible issuance schedule - as the 20 Millionth whole coin was mined. What's next?

Why the hardest money in human history still has 120 years of mining ahead. The mining of the 20 millionth bitcoin marks a monumental milestone in the history of finance.

I met a newbie over the weekend. He's exploring an allocation for his company. Primary concern: "We need to own our bitcoin." The SimpleVault is the only regulated way to self-custody your corporate Bitcoin in 🇿🇦.

Bitcoin’s recent pullback has sparked a wave of questions from investors and business owners who are reviewing their positions before year end. Some are sitting with losses and want to understand what can be done responsibly.

What we will cover:
₿ When tax can be triggered even if you never withdraw to rands
₿ How SARS may view swaps between crypto and stablecoins

₿ What to prepare before meeting your tax practitioner, including records and audit trail

First 50% Drawdown?

I've lived on the Garden Route for >10years. That makes me a local.

If this is your first Bitcoin drawdown - it's tough but expected. humbles weak hands and rewards diamond hands.

Welcome to Bitcoin! Wait for the 86%, then you'll be a local.

Kevin Warsh has been nominated to succeed Jerome Powell as Chair of the Federal Reserve.

I am sharing a short Hoover Institution clip from Stanford where he is asked about Bitcoin.

His answer is measured. He treats Bitcoin as feedback, a market signal that can discipline policy when credibility slips. He also draws a clean line. Bitcoin is not the dollar, and it is not trying to be the dollar.

If you are responsible for family wealth or company reserves, this is worth your attention. Not for the headline, but for the framing.
