Biggest takeaway for me from this episode … Bitcoin collateralized loans are currently charging a 3% management fee (!!) above the 11% investor returns. Not to mention origination fees. That’s insane.

Gonna be a lot of downward pressure on both yield and fees once the bitcoin collateralized loan product matures. Needs to mature soon, too, so bitcoiners who are not software developers can start utilizing bitcoin to manage real world assets.

Bitcoin collateralized loans are too expensive and way too short duration. Until there is movement in this market, hodling truly is sitting back and waiting to the deploy the potential energy stored in one’s bitcoin stack.

The Fold SPAC/IPO will likely change this. And you don't need to be a dev to manage a bitcoin balance sheet. A car is more complicated to manage.

To buy real assets / companies with fiat and bitcoin collateralized debt is expensive. Holding Bitcoin is likely to outperform with less risk.

For now. You have to lay track before you run the train.

How many SPACs have been successful. I’ve heard horror stories, haven’t read / heard many success stories.

How many were a bitcoin company?

Even more reason to be concerned. The volatility of “bitcoin only” bitcoin companies is difficult to bridge through cycles. MicroStrategy’s core business has nothing to do with bitcoin.

Your frame of reference is skewed. Get back when you're using bitcoin as a unit of account.
