    Bitcoin’s Biggest Unsolved Problem is Custody | Michael Tangum

    In this episode, co-founder & CEO of Onramp Michael Tanguma argues that this Bitcoin cycle is fundamentally different due to the rising sovereign and institutional bid, suppressed volatility, and structural changes in custody. He explains why gold’s surge is a smoke detector for sound money adoption, why collaborative custody must evolve beyond self-storage and third-party custodians, and why 2022’s collapse was just a “dry run” for the risks ahead.

    Bitcoin Stablecoins Will Beat the Dollar | Diego Gutierrez-Zaldivar

    In this episode, RootstockLabs co-founder Diego Gutierrez explains how Bitcoin-backed stablecoins and decentralized financial primitives are enabling real-world adoption, especially in volatile economies like Argentina. He contrasts Rootstock’s vision of a Bitcoin-secured, censorship-resistant financial stack with more centralized systems like Ethereum or Solana. Diego also explores how stablecoins, tokenized assets, and even nation-states may converge on Bitcoin rails, and why institutional adoption must be balanced with sovereignty and trust-minimization.
