About Phil
Phil Geiger has been a bitcoin advocate since 2014, and he was an early employee of Unchained, where he spent 6 years growing the company to secure over 100,000 bitcoin. Phil brings extensive expertise in bitcoin products, product marketing, and GTM strategy. A respected voice in the bitcoin community, he contributes to Bitcoin Magazine, CoinDesk, and has been featured on the major bitcoin podcasts. As an advisor to Branta, Phil’s deep understanding of bitcoin and best-practice custody tools strengthens our mission to provide secure, innovative transaction verification solutions.
In Phil’s words on why he joined Branta:
*Are your palms sweaty? Is your blood pressure spiking? Sounds like you’re about to make a large bitcoin transaction! *
@BrantaOps* fixes this. Today I’m joining @unfakekeith and his bitcoin verification company as an advisor! Branta is here to ensure that mistakes don’t happen when sending bitcoin.*
*Branta’s Guardrail lets you confirm details before broadcasting a transaction. During my time at @unchained I helped popularize address verification via @Trezor, @COLDCARDwallet, and @Ledger, which is the most secure way to verify that you control the keys to your vault, but this doesn’t solve the problem for sending out of your wallets, and more generally, it only solves the problem for people using hardware wallets. How can you double check to see if you’re about to send bitcoin to a fake support person? *
This is a game-changer for different users.
Exchanges can now have an additional check for withdrawals or when settling between exchanges.
Custodians and wallet platforms can add an extra layer of protection for client funds.
Payment gateways can verify payouts upfront, reducing errors and disputes for merchants.
Bitcoin’s rules won’t bend, so tools like @BrantaOps Guardrail are critical for scaling securely. I’m excited to support the team at https://branta.pro to make sending bitcoin less stressful and more secure! Check them out below and follow @unfakekeith stay up-to-date.
