Bitcoin Custody, Security, and Smart Digital Asset Investing | Jackson Mikalic

Описание: Bitcoin is easy to buy. It is much harder to secure.
In this episode of Executive Connect, Melissa Aarskaug sits down with Jackson Mikalic, business development leader at OnRamp, to unpack the modern investment thesis behind Bitcoin and why custody is the quiet backbone that determines whether investors thrive or panic.
Jackson explains how currency debasement, structural inflation, and global liquidity trends have driven serious capital into scarce digital assets. He breaks down why custody risk matters more than price volatility, how hundreds of billions in Bitcoin have been permanently lost, and why exchange storage and self-custody both introduce trade-offs.
For executives, family offices, and long-term investors evaluating digital assets, this episode provides a clear framework for responsible Bitcoin allocation, risk management, and institutional-grade security.
