Episode notes
From Small Meetup To Bitcoin Park
- Rod describes starting a Nashville Bitcoin meetup that grew from ~20 people to 100+ after hosting visiting speakers.
- That local momentum helped launch Bitcoin Park and accelerated community growth.
Adoption Took An Institutional Path
- The observed rollout favored indirect exposure like ETFs and treasury companies over peer-to-peer self-custody adoption.
- That divergence shows adoption can scale via institutions even when early hopes emphasized self-custody.
Match Custody To Treasury Use
- If you run a treasury, pair your custody strategy to your intended usage and risk profile.
- Split holdings across deep cold, accessible cold, and hot wallets to balance security and operational needs.
