Kristyna Mazankova joins the Bitcoin Infinity Show to talk about launching the Master in Bitcoin at Hesperides University, the world’s first English-language master’s program dedicated entirely to Bitcoin, and why she insists it take no government money. She and Knut dig into what’s broken in state-funded higher education, why Bitcoin companies struggle to hire people who truly understand Bitcoin, and how the program aims to shape builders and entrepreneurs rather than employees. Along the way they cover her start at Trezor, the Czech roots of Slush Pool and Bitcoin mining pools, KYC versus KYC-free ways to stack sats, self-custody, and the hidden risks of Bitcoin treasury stocks and ETFs.
