Rehash: A Web3 Podcast

On this episode of Rehash, we’re speaking with Birb aka Chairman Birb Bernanke aka bonecondor on Twitter all about the new Bitcoin ETF and best security practices in crypto.

Birb started her career in TradFi and was a product manager for a number of years before joining OtterSec, a blockchain security audits company. We start out by talking about the Bitcoin ETF, and Birb patiently answers a lot of my very basic questions, like what is an ETF and how is it different from index funds, before we move into more interesting questions like is this a good move for the crypto industry overall and what does this tell us about how the SEC will be treating crypto companies in 2024.

After we figure out what a Bitcoin ETF is, we get into a discussion about security best practices for DeFi protocols and other companies building onchain. Birb shares her best pieces of advice for organizations and for end users to avoid scams and hacks and gives us an inside look into what really goes on behind the scenes of some of these hacks.
