“And so one of the cool things at the park that you've been so kind to be a member and just been supporting us and a number of other people, we're now able to make more investments in education and research and more content. We're going to introduce a custody white paper that we plan to introduce every single year, really digging into custody. And it's like, cool, we got this treasury strategies. The custody strategies. And I'm not even poo-pooing like full custodian, like a river, a strike, or a bit go and so on. There is a strategy for that. But I want to just showcase and platform all the different flavors of custody. So from full custody to a collaborative custody, multi-sig to single sig to insured custody, what anchor watching those guys are creating in that category.”

“So, if you treasure it, like you have a treasury strategy, absolutely. You're a small business owner, you're an individual, you're a large co what's your treasury strategy? You're making $100 million of profit. What are you swiping into Bitcoin? What's the percentage? What's the strategy? Are there other ways to increase that exposure? You know, there's so many conversations to be had. But one thing, in my opinion, that needs to always happen is what is your custody? What is your counterparty risk associated with this?”

“And all of them, like, just they seem cool. I think with the park, and you've been so kind to participate in a number of them, is really creating and curating these experiences around something specific within the Bitcoin and Freedom tech space. So I didn't really want to do this, but I felt inclined to create a custody and treasury summit because a lot of the conversation is around the acquisition of Bitcoin. Mine Bit And I do think custody and treasury need to go hand in hand.”

“September 17th and 18th on your calendar, Preston. It is, I swear. I know. No, no, you're the man. So like it's really cool because there's so many things going on in Bitcoin. Like it's just, it's fascinating. Every single second, it's like, wait, there's another thing going on.”

“With that said, and not to put a plug in for the custody and treasury summit, as well as imagine if, but Adam and Sean Bill are coming along with you. And I think this blockstream asset management stuff that they're doing on the finance side. Is really interesting. And I don't want to speak for them and so on, but like what Adam and Sean and the team that Sean's building around him, you know me. I'm not like the TradFi finance guy. I'm like more of a community builder and entrepreneur. But there is something there. A lot of it to me is still noise and just vaporware, but there is some signal within there, especially on the business side. And then also on the capital allocator side to be able to create different investment vehicles that continue to get exposure to Bitcoin.”

“He went straight there, took a two hour. Ride from Atlanta to like wherever we were in Georgia. And he was just like, I'm ready because he's been waiting for this for a long time To continue on top of that, there was West Texas miners. Shout out to the Choya guys, Brad Cuddy. And then there was the Bitcoin miners. I mean, like, you had Clean Spark. Their entire executive team was there. Foundry CEO, Mike Coleer was there. And so the fact that Jack and Thomas and the entire team, Jenia, they all invited all of these different groups was a testament to their going into the market and getting into the community, all feedback, not just from one subset being the largest ticketers or purchasers, you know, the big co's.”

“And you would think from a business opportunity standpoint, you would just be with big co-miners there, right? Because they're the biggest tickets. They would make the biggest purchase orders. It was awesome, Preston, to see my friends Scott 9000 from the Bidaxe project, Eco from the 256 Foundation, the Wilson Mining Brothers, who are just these like.”

“And we're like looking and feeling the pain points. And they design based on that kind of feedback. That's one. You would think because this is like a product that's for all, but who are your biggest customers? So it was really cool because we were at the core facility and we actually got to see it live. Some people are like, oh, wait, don't worry, two more weeks, then we'll plug it in and it'll work. Promise. But it was like live running at the facility.”

“Say two things just from my perspective. One was there was a lot of head nodding, meaning they did the work for a year plus on this. When Thomas was doing his keynote, he was mentioning we went to a bunch of you guys, we went to sites, we went to each of the areas.”

“Whole thing You can put these box in, it's completely modular. One of the two things that kind of blew me away because I hadn't really, I mean, I met the team, but I didn't really get to meet the team. Like Jack was like, and one thing that Jack mentioned to me was, Rod, you see all these people that are on the team. And I said, yeah, you know, one thing that's striking to me, Jack, is you're saying 11 years, 16 years, 10 years at the company. You guys have been just building a Bitcoin company, I think, since 2018, 2019. So they were at Cash App or Square before, and now they're at Proto and BitKey and so on. He's like, yeah. And if you go one layer below that, now they're all Bitcoiners too. Now they all get mission and they're all on the mission.”

“And Jack was And don't trust Verify. Do your own research. But with that said, there's just so many amazing people. And I truly believe like Bitcoin's this gravitational force. And the common denominator just to build really cool stuff. And what blocks doing right now, especially with Proto, with Thomas leading them on the hardware side especially, making these kind of modular rigs. Because before you'd kind of like rip and replace when machines would break or the family would break.”
