“As Bitcoin becomes economically material, pure self-custody becomes less sovereign, not more.”
Bitcoin promised transactional sovereignty, but what happens when early adopters hold wealth beyond imagination? Founder and CEO Matt McClintock unpacks the “sovereignty paradox”—how to retain control over Bitcoin wealth while structuring it for long-term impact. We dive into Bespoke’s approach to navigating Bitcoin’s unique challenges and unlocking investment opportunities.
