⚠️ Most Crypto Users Are One Mistake Away EP107

In this fascinating and practical conversation, Dmitry Tokarev, founder of Copper and co founder of Bron, joins host Constantin Kogan to break down one of the biggest unsolved problems in crypto: security for real users.

From growing up in Siberia and discovering trading at a young age, to building Copper into one of the world’s leading institutional custody firms, and now leading Bron with a mission to bring institutional grade wallet security to retail users.

This is a conversation about why crypto still feels dangerous for most people and what it will take to finally fix that.

Dmitry Tokarev Reveals:
🔐 Why most retail crypto wallets are still dangerously outdated
🧠 The real difference between institutional custody and retail self custody
🧩 What MPC actually means and why institutions rely on it
📱 Why seed phrases should never have been the long term answer
🚨 How people are really losing crypto today through phishing, SIM swaps, address poisoning, and physical attacks
🛡️ Why Bron was built to remove the biggest security mistakes users make
👥 How social recovery and successors can protect users without seed phrases
⏳ Why time delays and approval policies matter for serious crypto holders
🌍 What the future of crypto custody looks like as more real world assets move on chain
⚙️ Why user experience, not just security, is the next big unlock for adoption
📚 The book that changed Dmitry’s career path
🌅 What peace of mind means to him and how he thinks about life

A crypto holder worried about wallet security
A founder building in wallets, custody, or on chain infrastructure
An investor trying to understand where crypto UX still fails
Someone curious about the gap between institutional crypto and retail crypto
Or simply trying to protect yourself better in this space
This episode explores why the next breakthrough in crypto may not be a new token or protocol, but a safer way for normal people to actually hold their assets.
