Trezor CEO Matej Zak about the importance of Bitcoin hardware wallets | Relai Bitcoin Podcast #76

Matej Zak has been part of the Trezor team for a few years now. Initially, he started out as a product manager but slowly moved into a leadership role. This past year, he took over as the CEO of Trezor. 

These days, Trezor and Matej are hyperfocused on offering as many self-custody solutions and services as possible. The company also recently announced that it’ll partner with more brokerages and exchanges to make it even easier for users to buy and HODL their Bitcoin. 

In this conversation with Relai CEO Julian Liniger, Matej goes down his Bitcoin rabbit hole, discusses Trezor's future plans, and discusses how the Bitcoin ecosystem will expand into other markets.
