    Revolutionizing Bitcoin Custody | w/ Greg Mikeska

    In this episode, Greg Mikeska, CTO of SatsCapital and founder of the Emerald Foundation, discusses new developments in Bitcoin custody solutions for financial institutions. He elaborates on the role of the Emerald Foundation in establishing standards for Bitcoin custody, the implications of Bitcoin in the monetary system, and the potential threats posed by quantum computing (and why they're overblown). Mikeska also critiques the proof of stake model and emphasizes the importance of Bitcoin's unique properties. Key takeaways: The Emerald Foundation aims to establish custody standards for Bitcoin. Bitcoin's architecture offers profound benefits over alternative cryptocurrencies. Emerald's approach addresses the metacustodian problem in financial institutions. Bitcoin's adoption is crucial for its role as a currency. Quantum computing poses a theoretical risk but is not an immediate threat. Proof of stake systems recreate fiat-like centralization issues. Emerald Foundation is in its early stages but has ambitious goals. The future of Bitcoin may involve it backing the US dollar. Misinformation about Bitcoin and quantum threats is prevalent. The shift in cryptocurrency discussions from technology to investment is concerning. Subscribe to the Hard Money Dispatch newsletter here: https://brian-nibleys-newsletter.beehiiv.com/

    Many people today can't afford to own a home. This problem will only intensify for future generations. Thankfully, using Bitcoin as a savings account provides hope.

    Bitcoin Crash Explained & Bitharvest Scam Exposed: The Cycles Repeat

    In this episode, I get into the recent decline in Bitcoin prices as measured in US dollars, the collapse of the Bitharvest ponzi scheme, and more. The latest Bitcoin "crash" is nothing new, and Bitharvest is the latest Bitconnect. Some things never change, and the same cycles seem to repeat, although this Bitcoin price cycle could be different. --- Check out CoinTracker to help make your crypto taxes simple and easy: https://cointracker.sjv.io/POXQkQ See my video on the Bitharvest ponzi scheme: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LPLiQeFBaqw Subscribe to the Hard Money Dispatch newsletter: https://brian-nibleys-newsletter.beehiiv.com/

  8. Quantum Fear, Fiat Doubt, and the Signal in the Noise

    10/25/2025

    Quantum Fear, Fiat Doubt, and the Signal in the Noise

    This week on Hard Money Dispatch, we unpack one of the most volatile weeks in crypto history. Bitcoin plunged over 15%—a $19 billion liquidation wiping out more traders than any event before it. Yet amid the chaos, over 60% of coins haven’t moved in more than a year. That’s not panic—that’s conviction. We’ll also cut through the noise surrounding “quantum threats” to Bitcoin. Despite the headlines, we’re still years—maybe a decade—away from anything that could pose a real problem. The fear-mongering continues, but the math hasn’t changed. Gold and silver also hit new all-time highs before correcting sparply. That’s not a coincidence—it’s a reflection of deepening distrust in fiat money and the institutions behind it.
