🎙️ About This Episode

Bitcoin is down 50% from all-time highs and there's no single catalyst anyone can point to. Global uncertainty has broken all-time highs — surpassing 9/11, 2008, and COVID. The crew is joined by Onramp COO Nick DeLozier for a wide-ranging conversation on what's driving the drawdown, why the four-year cycle may be self-fulfilling, and how quantum computing fear is being overblown but shouldn't be ignored.

The conversation shifts to key takeaways from Bitcoin Investor Week, including Tether US CEO Bo Hines' bullish case for the Clarity Act and stablecoins as the ultimate Trojan horse for bitcoin adoption. Nick then walks through "The Architecture of Trust" — Onramp's latest publication detailing the engineering breakthroughs behind their self-service onboarding, redesigned dashboard, and security-first withdrawal workflows. The team also discusses dynasty trusts, the evolving AI threat landscape, and the road to mass-market bitcoin custody.
