@JimmyMarr what about...
...staking your bitcoin...to get a fiat dollar loan
...to buy more bitcoin
yes?
@JimmyMarr why not just sell house, invest in bitcoin, spend a year walking across america, buy 2x larger house when bitcoin triples?
@Alex_Linder It'd likely triple before I could get to the edge of town.
@Alex_Linder I find it difficult to confidently assess the risk of posting my Bitcoin as collateral. Even if I didn't outright lose it, they could conceivably rehypothicate it in such a way as to exert negative market pressure against the growth of the investment for which I borrowed, and possibly even enough to generate a margin call. It's bad enough that I could get squeezed, but the possibility that I could inadvertently fund a squeeze against myself dampens my appetite for that type of risk
