Notes (11)

A wild Friday, a calm plan! ATH >$126k → ~$80k (~-36%), ~-10% on 21 Nov. Feelings were loud; our framework stayed louder. That’s why Xapo Bank runs 40% LTV (vs 50–90% elsewhere): More buffer, lower liquidation risk when it matters. #Bitcoin ⚡️ image image image image

Bitcoin #BlackFriday sale: No promo codes. No countdown timers. Just sats 35% off because weak hands panic-dumped again. OGs know the drill: When the fiat world queues for TVs, we quietly stack the hardest money ever created. 🧡🛒 For those of you in your first cycle, perfectly normal #Bitcoin behaviour.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mGIz5M1hbHY&t=1442s Inside the World’s First #Bitcoin Bank | Seamus Rocca x Alex Tapscott (DeFi Decoded) What does it actually mean to be the world’s first Bitcoin bank? And how do you survive a decade of crypto bull and bear markets without blowing up? In this episode of DeFi Decoded, host Alex Tapscott sits down with Seamus Rocca, CEO of Xapo Bank, to unpack the story behind one of Bitcoin’s earliest and most resilient institutions. They dive into: How Xapo started in 2013 as a Bitcoin wallet and evolved into a fully licensed Bitcoin-first private bank Why founder Wences Casares’ experience in Argentina shaped Xapo’s mission to protect people from inflation, capital controls and banking risk Why Xapo chose to stay Bitcoin-focused while the rest of the industry chased ICOs, NFTs and altcoins How Xapo combines Bitcoin + USD: a US-dollar narrow bank account earning interest alongside deep cold-storage Bitcoin custody Bitcoin as digital gold, reserve asset and base layer vs. the role of stablecoins as payment rails Bitcoin-backed lending: how wealthy Bitcoin holders borrow USD against their BTC without selling their position The rise of Bitcoin ETFs and how they help mainstream adoption while Xapo serves Bitcoiners who still want direct custody and private banking-level service Why Xapo sees itself as the private bank for Bitcoiners as BTC matures into a global reserve asset If you care about Bitcoin’s long-term future, institutional adoption, and what safe Bitcoin banking can look like, this conversation is for you. 🔔 Don’t forget to like, subscribe, and leave a comment: Would you rather hold your BTC in an ETF, self-custody, or with a Bitcoin-first bank like Xapo? Why?

#Bitcoin, cycle vs. cycle, days since halving (latest: Apr 20, 2024). Why now? With $BTC hovering near $100k, context > hot takes. If in doubt, zoom out and compare cycles on equal footing. Here is a great website that shows you this. btc_counterflow thanks 🙏 https://bitcoincounterflow.com/charts/after-halving-comparison/ #BitcoinHalving #BitcoinCycles #Zap #Zaps image

Hey nostr 👋 We’re #XapoBank. Old-timers will remember us from 2013: #bitcoiners building for bitcoiners, focused on one thing, keep sats safe and make fiat rails behave when needed. Our ethos: ▪️Bitcoin first, everything else is a rounding error ▪️Security over marketing: mpc key-shares split and geo-distributed; access needs multiple approvals; hardened underground facilities with 24/7 surveillance and armed guards ▪️Conservative risk, plain english, no hype ▪️Self-custody is great, some holders still park part of their stack with a pro for redundancy. we respect both What we’ll post here: ▪️Lessons from a decade+ safeguarding btc (ops hygiene, key management, failure modes) ▪️Bitcoin + banking realities (policy, settlement, liquidity) ▪️Practical ways long-term holders unlock fiat liquidity without selling sats ▪️Signals from the community, not sales Thanks for the warm welcome, great to reconnect with so many ogs. We’re here to listen, share, and keep it orange 🟧 If you have not looked at us in a while then please do @ xapobank.com Looking forward to connecting with you all! #Introductions #Bitcoin #BitcoinBank #Zap #Zaps #Sats ⚡️ image
