"Volatility is temporary. The price in dollars fluctuates. It always has. A 45% drawdown is painful, but if you still own your Bitcoin, nothing has fundamentally changed. The supply is still fixed at 21 million. The U.S. debt is still $38 trillion and growing. The thesis is intact." "Loss is permanent. If you lose your Bitcoin to poor custody, theft, social engineering, or death without a plan, there's no recovery. It doesn't matter if Bitcoin goes to $500,000. You don't own it anymore." Excellent post @macrojack21 twitter.com/MTanguma/status/20...

Bitcoin hit $2 trillion before anyone figured out how to guarantee your coins would still be there the next day. Think about that. People bought it anyway. Then FTX blew up. Celsius. BlockFi. Mt. Gox. And the world blamed Bitcoin. But the asset was never the problem. We just hadn't built custody for something that's never existed before. A digital bearer asset on the open internet, with finality of possession. There are no bailouts in bitcoin; what is a feature is also a bug for adoption. That's what @OnrampBitcoin and multi-institution custody solve. Reach out to learn more or how you can get involved in what we are building...

Bitcoin reached two trillion dollars in market cap with no credible way for anyone to guarantee their coins would be there the next day. That’s PMF. Crossing the chasm will be a different story entirely.

Bitcoin reached two trillion dollars in market cap with no credible way for anyone to guarantee their coins would be there the next day. That's how strong the product market fit for preserving wealth actually is. People call it speculative because all they've heard is FTX,

Bitcoin was working until DATs became a thing, now we have to sit in purgatory watching gold and silver run to pay for the sins of those who were corrupted by the forbidden fruit.

"Talk to anyone who holds bitcoin, and in private, they'll admit that they don't really have a plan if they die." Or the unspoken risk: "am I putting my family in danger by keeping large sums of money in the same house as them" Most of our clients began working with us from an inheritance and legacy-planning perspective. It's rational, started holding BTC at $150 a coin at the age of 25, now 35, two kids, and millions in wealth to manage. They initially moved 10% to 50% of their BTC from self-custody to Multi-Institution Custody, and now they can sleep easy knowing that, at the very least, their family will have access to some of their bitcoin. Over time, folks naturally feel increasingly comfortable in Multi-Institution Custody and continue to shift more of their allocation there. It's a personal journey and we are here to help. twitter.com/MTanguma/status/20...

Big news: Onramp just opened our Austin HQ and a national network of offices for secure Bitcoin custody. Why physical locations? Before money became software, it was relational. Trust was built face-to-face. Bitcoin custody at scale isn't a product. It's a responsibility, one that requires real people, real offices, and real accountability. 11 cities. Intentionally distributed. Intentionally local. Read the full post below...

The world is waking up to the dollar dying. Gold's run is the first signal; Bitcoin is the final destination. The infrastructure for that new world is being built right now, in the quiet. Bear markets are when the real work gets done. We're either very right or very wrong. And that's exactly where you want to be, because that's where you get paid. Check out the full episode of Final Settlement below...

“In the short run, the market is a voting machine but in the long run it is a weighing machine.” — Benjamin Graham Benjamin Graham's distinction between the market's "voting machine" and "weighing machine" frames our reflection on a paradoxical year. Price action frustrated the consensus. Yet beneath the surface: a macro regime reverting to debasement, commercial banking integration unlocked, and America's oldest endowments disclosing exposure. @BackslashBTC examines the casino psychology that defined 2025, the expensive lesson of wrapping bearer assets in corporate complexity, and why the erosion of trust in centralized institutions made the case for a truthful ledger undeniable. Our 2025 Shareholder Letter for the @OnrampBitcoin Statutory Trust is now available. Find the link below...

For the first time since 1996, the value of gold held by central banks ($4.6 trillion) exceeds the value of the US Treasurys they hold ($3.9 trillion). Structural supercycle for hard assets like gold, silver, and bitcoin happening in real time.
