## Resource

The truth about Bitcoin custody that wealth managers won't tell you. Fresh from the Naples Family Office Wealth Management Symposium, we sat down with Alex Stanczyk (combat veteran & former gold fund manager who's helped family offices acquire over $1 billion in Bitcoin), plus the entire Bitcoin Well team - Chantel Lillycrop-Kostiuk, and Riley Combs - to discuss the custody crisis, institutional adoption, and why self-custody isn't optional anymore. 🔥 KEY TOPICS COVERED: • Why leaving Bitcoin on exchanges is playing Russian roulette with your wealth • The Coinbase custody monopoly problem and regulatory failures • 95% of Bitcoin mined, but 95% of humans don't own it - the information asymmetry • How to achieve "financial escape velocity" from the traditional system • Why financial advisors are STILL telling clients to sell Bitcoin • The Samurai Wallet developer situation and the attack on privacy • Michael Saylor's 30% CAGR prediction breakdown • Inflation as the "tax stolen in the dead of night" • Step-by-step self-custody education for beginners 💡 FEATURED GUESTS: Alex Stanczyk - Former gold fund manager, Bitcoin Crucible podcast host Chantel Lillycrop-Kostiuk & Riley Combs - Bitcoin Well team Grant Cardone appearance discussion from symposium panel 📍 EVENT CONTEXT: 3rd Annual Naples Family Office Wealth Management Symposium featuring Michael Saylor, Grant Cardone, and top Bitcoin thought leaders ⚠️ CRITICAL TAKEAWAY: "You've been lied to your entire life, and you would rather just stop there and look the other way and think everything is perfectly fine" - but Bitcoin offers a real path to financial sovereignty. 🔗 CONNECT WITH GUESTS: Bitcoin Well - ⁨@bitcoinwell⁩ Alex Stanczyk- @AlexStanzyk The Bitcoin Crucible - Available on Rumble 🎙️ CYPHERPUNK'D PODCAST Exploring…
