Michal and Pavla Nydrle join the Bitcoin Infinity Show to talk about growing up in communist Czechoslovakia, building and selling the Czech Republic’s largest independent digital communications group, and the day their mast snapped in the Caribbean with their two young kids aboard. After saving themselves with no rescue coming, they returned home to run Petr Pavel’s winning presidential campaign, then turned to Bitcoin as inflation ate away at the savings around them. Now partners in Invity alongside Trezor’s founders, they discuss MiCA regulation, why both KYC and non-KYC Bitcoin have a place in self-custody, and why Prague punches above its weight in Bitcoin adoption.
