   BlackRock’s New Bitcoin ETF Is a Derivative of a Derivative | Adam O'Brien

   Bitcoin is holding above $80,000 heading into this conversation, 916 days past the halving, and the spot ETFs just bled more than $600 million in a single day without the price barely flinching. Q is joined by Bitcoin Well CEO Adam O'Brien, back from Bitcoin for Financial Services in Denver, to explain why the bigger story is what Wall Street is building on top of bitcoin. Q argues that BlackRock's newly filed PBIT, a buffer ETF that trades options against IBIT to absorb roughly the first 10% of losses while capping your upside, is the mortgage-backed security of bitcoin: a derivative of a derivative, and the kind of product that could drive the next big crash. Adam walks through why Larry Fink came out of 2008 more powerful than he went in, what JPMorgan's first-ever bitcoin forecast (10% a year in the bear case, roughly 17% in the bull case) really tells you about bank incentives, and why a lowball forecast might one day carry legal risk. We get into Jamie Dimon's pivot from threatening to fire bitcoin buyers to pricing bitcoin into his long-term outlook, why ETF outflows aren't moving the price the way the headlines claim, and why every asset except bitcoin sits on the first rung of the counterparty ladder, including the option to hold real bitcoin in your IRA instead of the ETF. This is a sharp conversation about Wall Street, ETFs, and counterparty risk, for anyone trying to understand who actually stands between them and their money.

   Guest: ColdCard Hacked, Ledger Compromised: Is Self Custody Broken? | Frank Corva

   First ColdCard wallets were drained. Then tampered Ledger devices showed up from third-party sellers. You see, the people who did everything “right” got burned, while the person who left their coins on Coinbase came out fine. Q sits down with Frank Corva (Fedi, ex-Bitcoin Magazine) to unpack the hardware wallet debacles. They talk about why “don’t trust, verify” broke down, community custody and open spec, what Frank saw in Venezuela and Kibera, and why “if Bitcoin remains digital gold, it fails.” Not your keys, not your coins still holds. But the setup that’s right for you might not look like anyone else’s.

   Guest: Bitcoin in Your IRA?!? Here's What Wall Street Doesn't Want You to Know | Adam O'Brien

   Bitcoin is trading around $86,000 with ETF demand still accumulating, but the rally is only half the story this week. Bitcoin Well just launched a Bitcoin IRA, and CEO Adam O'Brien is back on the podcast to explain why a non-custodial company built one, how it works, and where it sits on his counterparty ladder. Adam breaks down the custodial IRA through BitGo, a custodian Bitcoin Well has trusted with its own inventory for years, and the self-custody version offered alongside it. He is direct about the catch: a retirement account is still a captured account, the tax code is a counterparty, and a lost key or a coin migration inside an IRA can cost far more than it would outside one. We also get into this week's market, what a rally near $86,000 does and doesn't tell you, why Bitcoin's difficulty adjustment lets the network adapt to stressed miners without anyone picking winners or arranging a rescue, and how that contrasts with the bank consolidations happening in traditional finance. If you hold Bitcoin and have a 401k, an RRSP-style account, or any retirement savings sitting in index funds, this conversation will help you decide which rung you're actually on.
