Dear Readers,

A day-one reader sent me a note recently with a few questions. He noticed my conviction rise on who would be taking the White House and wondered whether or not it really mattered. He also had a recent experience with his bitcoin, which is in self-custody, that brought up an excellent and topical point: bitcoin ETFs held by large brokerages can be used as contributors to net worth when purchasing a property or applying for a loan, while self-custody bitcoin oftentimes cannot. Stevie has a new little one at home, so I know the question about custody, provable net work, and bank collateral is extremely relevant.
