In this episode, Greg Mikeska, CTO of SatsCapital and founder of the Emerald Foundation, discusses new developments in Bitcoin custody solutions for financial institutions.

He elaborates on the role of the Emerald Foundation in establishing standards for Bitcoin custody, the implications of Bitcoin in the monetary system, and the potential threats posed by quantum computing (and why they're overblown).

Mikeska also critiques the proof of stake model and emphasizes the importance of Bitcoin's unique properties.

Key takeaways:

• The Emerald Foundation aims to establish custody standards for Bitcoin.
• Bitcoin's architecture offers profound benefits over alternative cryptocurrencies.
• Emerald's approach addresses the metacustodian problem in financial institutions.
• Bitcoin's adoption is crucial for its role as a currency.
• Quantum computing poses a theoretical risk but is not an immediate threat.
• Proof of stake systems recreate fiat-like centralization issues.
• Emerald Foundation is in its early stages but has ambitious goals.
• The future of Bitcoin may involve it backing the US dollar.
• Misinformation about Bitcoin and quantum threats is prevalent.
• The shift in cryptocurrency discussions from technology to investment is concerning.

In this episode, I get into the recent decline in Bitcoin prices as measured in US dollars, the collapse of the Bitharvest ponzi scheme, and more. The latest Bitcoin "crash" is nothing new, and Bitharvest is the latest Bitconnect. Some things never change, and the same cycles seem to repeat, although this Bitcoin price cycle could be different.

Bitcoin just smashed through $126,000—and if you're paying attention to history, this is no surprise. In this video, we break down why “Uptober” 2025 is mirroring the explosive Q4 moves of previous post-halving years.

We cover:

• The 5-year low in exchange supply
• Michael Saylor’s BTC treasury strategy (640,000+ BTC!)
• Paul Tudor Jones’ renewed conviction
• The growing institutional adoption
• Why $1M per Bitcoin isn’t hype—it’s inevitable

From the macro backdrop to the math behind Bitcoin’s supply and demand dynamics, this is your full breakdown on what’s happening—and what’s likely next.

📉 Fiat is being debased. 📈 Scarce assets are rising. It’s time to position accordingly.

After about two and a half years of searching, I’ve determined that the job market isn’t worth participating in.

Doing the same thing over and over again while expecting different results tends to drive you insane – probably because it’s the definition of insanity.

Now that it’s over, I decided to compile a list of some of the things that have happened. This will only be a fraction of what actually occurred, because I didn’t keep a written record of things in real-time.

This week on Hard Money Dispatch, we unpack one of the most volatile weeks in crypto history.

Bitcoin plunged over 15%—a $19 billion liquidation wiping out more traders than any event before it. Yet amid the chaos, over 60% of coins haven’t moved in more than a year. That’s not panic—that’s conviction.

We’ll also cut through the noise surrounding “quantum threats” to Bitcoin. Despite the headlines, we’re still years—maybe a decade—away from anything that could pose a real problem. The fear-mongering continues, but the math hasn’t changed.

Gold and silver also hit new all-time highs before correcting sparply. That’s not a coincidence—it’s a reflection of deepening distrust in fiat money and the institutions behind it.
