First Bitcoin-Native Wealth Platform Emerges From Unchained and Gannett Trust Merger

Bitcoin Magazine First Bitcoin-Native Wealth Platform Emerges From Unchained and Gannett Trust Merger Unchained announced today that its registered investment advisory affiliate, Sound Advisory, has merged with Gannett Trust Company to form a new entity: Gannett Wealth Advisors. The merger marks the first time an SEC-registered investment advisor has combined with a chartered bitcoin trust company, creating what the firms call a “fully integrated wealth management platform” for digital assets, according to a note shared with Bitcoin Magazine. Gannett Wealth Advisors will operate as a subsidiary of Gannett Trust Company, a public trust company chartered in Wyoming, and will focus on uniting financial planning, custody, and inheritance services under one regulated umbrella. Back in May, Wyoming officially chartered Gannett Trust Company to help individuals, families, and businesses manage and pass on their bitcoin wealth. The firm wants to prevent bitcoin loss by offering secure, compliant custody and inheritance solutions tailored to long-term holders. Bitcoin meets the fiduciary standard At its core, this merger represents a bridge between Bitcoin-native finance and the highly regulated world of traditional wealth management. Unchained has provided bitcoin custody and lending services before through its collaborative custody model, the integration of an SEC-registered advisor brings fiduciary oversight and comprehensive planning capabilities to the table. “For Unchained, working with Gannett Trust and Gannett Wealth Advisors is the next step towards proving how bitcoin-native wealth management can meet the same standards as traditional finance, while staying true to the asset’s unique nature,” said Joe Kelly, CEO and co-founder of Unchained. The new platform will solve one of Bitcoin’s enduring challenges: inheritance and estate planning. Traditional wealth firms are typically not equipped to handle private keys or custody models that ensure assets can be securely passed down. Gannett says it will offer solutions that combine regulated trust structures with Bitcoin’s self-sovereign principles. “Bringing both advisory and trust services together gives individuals, families, and business owners something they’ve never had: a fully integrated way to plan, manage, and secure their legacies under a fiduciary standard,” said Joshua Preston, CEO of Gannett Trust. Global wealth is about to change hands The launch of Gannett Wealth Advisors arrives at a pivotal time. Over the next decade, an estimated $80 trillion in global wealth is expected to change hands, and according to research cited by Unchained, nearly 4 million bitcoin may already be lost forever — much of it due to inadequate planning and lack of digital-asset-specific estate structures. At the same time, U.S. policy has begun catching up to investor demand. In August, the federal government issued an executive order expanding 401(k) options to include alternative assets like cryptocurrency, real estate, and private equity. Wyoming, where Gannett Trust is chartered, has become the nation’s leading hub for digital-asset trust companies, thanks to forward-thinking legislation that recognizes bitcoin custody and fiduciary responsibilities under state law. This legal framework gives Gannett a foundation that many competitors in other jurisdictions still lack. The newly combined firm will officially debut at Digital Wealth Frontiers, a summit hosted by Gannett Trust on October 15 at Bitcoin Park in Nashville and via livestream. The event will bring together family offices, advisors, and business leaders to discuss strategies for managing generational wealth with Bitcoin as a key component of diversified portfolios. As Bitcoin becomes a more accepted part of mainstream finance, firms like Gannett Wealth Advisors want to serve clients who expect both security and compliance — without compromising on Bitcoin’s fundamental principles.

Redacted Science - The Broadening

[Hi again readers. You've got the spunky version of me again, at least for a bit. Redacted Science isn't an article, or a book, or a podcast, or an IPFS folder, it is a broadcast. Know an evolutionary biologist? Send this to them. Point them to me.] This article is a summarization of the last two months of a redacted medical condition which really wouldn't matter, except the science they redacted is evolutionary. So, yeah, maybe it's worth figuring out.

Crimean residents are massively stocking up on buckwheat and sugar amid a fuel crisis

Residents of Sevastopol, Simferopol, and other settlements in annexed Crimea have begun to complain about empty store shelves, "Agentstvo" noted. Thus, buckwheat, sugar, milk, butter, rice, flour, pasta, and other goods have disappeared from several grocery stores. Details. Some stores have introduced limits on the sale of certain categories of goods. For example, in one of the Sevastopol supermarkets, no more than one package of dairy products, three packs of sugar, three bottles of sunflower oil, etc., are sold per person. The Telegram channel "Zhest Krym Simferopol Sevastopol" published a video from a store in Simferopol. The video shows half-empty shelves with flour and sugar. Participants of local chats also share similar footage. Residents of Feodosia, Bakhchisarai, and Sevastopol told "Agentstvo" that they had not personally encountered a shortage of products, but had read about such announcements on social media. Fuel crisis. Crimeans began to buy essential goods amid a fuel shortage, which occurred as a result of Ukrainian attacks on the "Novorossiya" highway, along which gasoline trucks were traveling. Due to the crisis, strict restrictions on fuel sales have been introduced at gas stations. Gasoline is sold by coupons, and cash is not accepted. The Russian-appointed authorities of Crimea previously introduced the sale of gasoline by QR codes, but they quickly ran out.

Attacks on other routes and facilities.

day three: glendalough to glenmalure

rough consensus all the way down

Since learning about it in high school I've always been disturbed by the observer effect revealed by the famous double slit experiment in which the behavior of particles change based on whether or not you are looking at them as they move. It occurred to me one day that this quirk of nature in which a wave distribution collapses into finite states is analogous to a chain split and re-org in bitcoin in which a large amount of hashrate condenses competing chain tips into one canonical state (see chapter V). What if this process is occurring at every scale of reality from photons on up to humans and civilizations? And what would it mean if reality is literally just math? Could a conscious state be reduced to a number, or said differently are numbers themselves conscious? I apologize in advance for my handwaving and stoner-adjacent musings but the thoughts contained herein actually do bring me great comfort and satisfaction and perhaps it will do the same for you. if nothing else it's just fun to think about. I present here one retarded man's ham fisted attempt at understanding reality.
