EVMORE vs Wrapped Bitcoin: the structural argument against custodial scarcity
Wrapped Bitcoin (WBTC) is how most Ethereum DeFi gets exposure to Bitcoin's scarcity. It also reintroduces the custodian Bitcoin was built to avoid.

EVMORE vs PAXG: bearer asset versus custodial claim
PAX Gold and EVMORE both market themselves as 'digital gold on Ethereum.' One is a regulated claim on vaulted physical gold; the other is a bearer asset secured by a Vyper contract. This post walks through the difference between owning a claim and owning a bearer instrument, and why it matters for self-custody, regulation, and composability.
