Very rare that I just get angry listening to a podcast (and not at the hosts, though I realize it's NPR and that's not everyone's cup of tea). But this is about one of the things Bitcoin's supposed to fix, and what's frustrating is that it's still pre-2009 financial shenanigans playing out here, so Bitcoin literally can't fix it. It's stuff that should have been done with one way or the other, but these zombie second mortgages have been hidden away (very likely deliberately) by the banks. It's good and compelling listening, but it might make your blood boil.
Unbelievable that SVB, yes Silicon Valley Bank, has an ad in that episode
