You don\u2019t usually meet a hardware Bitcoin wallet founder who could just as easily be lecturing on synapses and brain plasticity.<\/p>\n

Yet that is exactly the lane shift taken by Dr. Douglas Bakkum, a former neuroscience researcher, and the BitBox team, creating a Swiss hardware wallet company born out of a university lab.<\/p>\n

He tells me his fork-in-the-road moment was simple: become a professor with a boss and a tenure committee, or build something<\/a> that might actually change how people hold money. <\/p>\n

After a week of obsessively digging into the tech, he realized it solved the Byzantine generals\u2019 problem<\/a> and wasn\u2019t going away. The next problem was uglier: actually holding the stuff safely.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt took me maybe a week until I was actually comfortable holding it\u2026 I was like, this is never gonna be adopted if this is what you have to do for security,\u201d Bakkum says.<\/p>\n
