 who is Xapo Bank?  
 Dunno 
 puppeteers of Trumps speech. Probably. They litterally and figuratively could be telling him what to say. Why else would they get a spot behind the former/future president addressing 20,000 (ish) Bitcoiners?  
 I guess that’s the case with any sponsor… 
 Wences Casares company the guy is a true bitcoin OG 
 interesting board choices  in Citi bank and Visa CEOs, along with Larry Summers though. Andreeson and Vitalik are also OGs .. doesn't mean they can't be compromised.  
 Agree! but at least Wences still bitcoin only  as far as i know

 So the thing is, bitcoin is open source and everyone can do whatever they want with it, right? 
 That’s a Wences Casares company. He’s a Bitcoin OG.  Due to his family history in Argentina, his focus has always been on inflation protection and separating money from State control.  

Clients can rely on Xapo for storing funds and creating a secure system accessible only to valid account holders — articles have been written about underground vaults, and armed guards protecting offline servers and cold storage, etc. 

Note, however, that pseudonymity and privacy are not his main focus. So if you are looking for a non-KYC option, this isn’t it.
