Escrevemos com pouca frequência e com intenção. Os períodos de silêncio refletem nosso foco no trabalho operacional.
Custody fails in familiar ways. This note maps the incentives, dependencies, and governance gaps that turn access into something conditional.
LerA clear disclosure posture makes custody legible. This note defines what should be public, what should stay controlled, and why clarity matters.
LerSafeguarding bitcoin and keeping access predictable is one job. Yield is a different job. This note explains why we keep those categories separate.
LerThe ability to leave defines whether custody is real. You can withdraw bitcoin to your own address, on-chain, under clear rules, with predictable handling.
LerThe simplest relationship in finance: if you hold bitcoin in custody, it is held 1:1 for you. This note defines what "full reserve" means and what it rules out.
LerThe real test happens on difficult days, not quiet ones. Continuity means designing custody to remain operable through stress, without improvisation.
LerA bitcoin bank is not a new kind of exchange. It is closer to an older idea: a bank exists to safeguard capital, provide predictable access, and remain conservative when it is tempting not to be.
