Associate at UTXO Management
Check size: No Felipe-specific check size or investment authority is public. UTXO allocates across venture, liquid, public-market and structured-credit strategies; company founders and allocators should confirm the relevant vehicle and current sizing through the firm's contact channel.
Felipe specializes in Bitcoin-native assets and publicly listed Bitcoin treasury companies, combining fundamental research with short-, medium- and long-horizon trading. His work sits inside UTXO's view of Bitcoin as a settlement chain for economic activity and institutional capital, with attention to self-custody, protocol scaling, stablecoin and asset issuance, treasury-company capital structures and market risk.
Use UTXO's contact@utxomanagement.com or the exact @namcios account; do not assume Felipe personally leads every venture check. Specify whether the opportunity is a private company, token, public security, treasury instrument or trading strategy. Lead with the Bitcoin-native necessity, trust and custody model, live technical evidence, liquidity and downside risks, institutional buyer, time horizon, and how the idea advances Bitcoin as a settlement or collateral network.
The strongest attributable fit is Bitcoin-native technology or securities with clear institutional relevance, robust custody and security, defensible settlement or scaling properties, measurable market structure and a reason to exist on Bitcoin. His reporting history and current trading role suggest appreciation for technically concrete systems, adoption catalysts and structures whose risks can be modeled across multiple time horizons.
No personal pass list is public. Evidence points to caution around exchange custody, opaque treasury leverage or capital structures, technology narratives that move faster than mainnet readiness, scaling systems with weak trust assumptions, and trades whose index, liquidity, macro or quantum risks are ignored. These are research boundaries, not a quoted investment checklist.
Before underwriting, identify whether the exposure is a company, token, public equity, preferred security, treasury vehicle or trading strategy; each carries different liquidity, governance and downside paths.
Test whether the technology adds credible economic activity, asset issuance, privacy, scaling or institutional settlement to Bitcoin without casually weakening its security assumptions.
Separate short-term flows and positioning, medium-term catalysts and market structure, and long-term protocol or adoption value rather than forcing one thesis across all time horizons.
For a Bitcoin layer, distinguish data publication or proof verification from genuinely trustless movement of BTC, and state what consensus change or external operator assumption remains.
Treat self-custody as a core risk-control decision and make the security-versus-convenience tradeoff explicit instead of leaving assets on an exchange by default.
Taproot Assets can extend Bitcoin and Lightning into multi-asset settlement, including stablecoins, while using Bitcoin's security, liquidity and decentralized base.
ZK rollups could bring scalable private computation to Bitcoin, but fully trustless BTC bridging likely requires a soft fork and actual user demand remains uncertain.
Bitcoin Core 24.0 improved wallet recovery, P2P behavior, privacy and usability while laying initial groundwork for safer complex scripting through Miniscript.
The feeling of having missed Bitcoin's adoption curve is a recurring bias; global awareness and use remain small relative to the fixed 21-million supply.
