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. Enjoy!
