Very interesting. Just remember that the market can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent.

Im hoping that I can one day lend a part of my stack, but I'm not dirty of lending myself to increase the former either, although increasing it without the risk of losing the bet sure seems more comfortable. 😜
reply
Interesting. But will you have to give them your private key?
reply
I doubt it, probably a Multi-Sig, we'll see.
reply
Multi-sig? That is almost as good as giving your private keys away.
reply
Just a guess, we'll see what things look like in a few years, I guess.

Maybe we'll see unchained loans return to retail, or at least better rates on commercial loans.
reply
Absolutely, but the way I see it, the above bank would be the "zero-to-one" moment, and what follows after, well, you know. 😜
Sooner or later, it'll come.

I was in person at this part of the conference, there were so many people booing this tether fiat maximalist.

it's a trap

No, now, they all will come up with such plans like loans, reserves, guarantee of freedom etc. etc.
These are interesting times. We must safeguard our stack from these imposters in Banks and politics!

This is just another way for the banks to get your bitcoin if you arent careful. Do you think they are there to help you?
reply
They're there to make profit off of it, just as I'd like to profit off of their service; after all, that's what exchanges do, too.
Although you have to be careful, both can benefit you.
reply
There might come a time when they return your bitcoin in fiat instead of the bitcoin that you put in. Like for like, as they say.
reply
Just like comex dose
reply
Well...you have heard the stories of comex. How many times have they given fiat even though the person wants the metal delivered? They arent storing much. Its probably an empty vault.

Show my stack to the government, pay CGT and risk losing it? No, thanks.

Before the moment of these innovations comes, a lot of time will pass. And everything will be changed a thousand times.

What bitcoin is going crazy right now It's good for us isnt it

This is interesting! How are they going to do it? Will it be similar to Gold Loan?
reply
Afaik, they'll take bitcoin as collateral, just like gold.

What are the rates?
reply
Cantor Fitzgerald caters to the big boys. This loan thing is likely to have enormous minimums. Out of my league, so I stick to 18 month 0% loans from my credit cards to finance my mini Saylor dreams.
