You’ve stacked sats for years, now what?

This panel dives into the fast-evolving world of Bitcoin-backed loans and capital efficiency. Learn how high-conviction holders are borrowing against their BTC instead of selling, unlocking liquidity while keeping upside exposure.

We’ll explore:

How Bitcoin-backed loans actually work

Where the fiat liquidity comes from

What the risks are—liquidation, volatility, custody

When this strategy makes sense (and when it doesn’t)

Why leverage isn’t just for traders, it’s a strategic tool for builders, companies, and long-term holders

Whether you're a business owner, investor, or pleb with strong hands, this session will show you how to use Bitcoin without losing it.

When you buy Bitcoin, do you really own it? Not if someone else holds your keys.

This panel is designed for newcomers who want to understand why self-custody—holding your own Bitcoin—is the safest and most empowering way to use it. We’ll break it down in plain language:

What self-custody means and how it works

The difference between wallets, exchanges, and hardware devices

How to get started without being a tech expert

Why “not your keys, not your coins” still matters—especially now

If you're new to Bitcoin and want to protect what you've worked hard to earn, this is the session that will show you how to take full control—safely and confidently.
