<p>“Your conversations and your money should not have to live in totally separate places.” </p>
<p>Seth for Privacy is the COO of Cake Wallet and Radar, a Signal-compatible messenger combining encrypted conversations with self-custodial Bitcoin payments. In this episode, he explains why the next wave of Bitcoin adoption may begin inside an everyday messenger—not a standalone wallet. </p>
<p>We discuss how Radar makes sending Bitcoin feel as natural as sending a message, why Spark made that experience possible, and the challenge of combining simple UX, privacy and self-custody at scale. Seth also breaks down Radar’s connection to the Signal network, its plans for fiat top-ups and stablecoins, and why compromising someone’s phone can defeat even the strongest encryption. </p>
<p>We also get into Zcash’s historic counterfeiting vulnerability, Monero’s privacy model, Bitcoin privacy and how Silent Payments, PayJoin and better developer tools could make private, self-custodial Bitcoin practical for everyday users.</p>
