@EricBalchunas It’s actually incredible to see the inflows on this chart from 2025 and knowing that bitcoin still managed to finish in the red on the year
@SWildcat99@RedWavePress There was an organization that tried that. But the far left vandalized his businesses and random peoples personal property because of it. And the cuts never made it through Congress
@Eric_Blair_2000@BitcoinMagazine@ericjackson You’re completely missing the point. This mortgage lender is now accepting bitcoin as collateral for the home. You no longer need to sell your bitcoin into USD in order to purchase a home - you avoid capital gains tax. The collateral for a lender is now home value + bitcoin
@Eric_Blair_2000@BitcoinMagazine@ericjackson That’s not at all how this works. The mortgage company will not sell your bitcoin. You still own the bitcoin as your collateral for the home. The bitcoin was never sold - you still own it
@ProofofBrain_@WhalePanda@EricBalchunas I respect Eric a lot. Knowledgeable guy. Comes from tradfi so gives tradfi takes, which can be refreshing to see. BTC has crossed the rubicon into tradfi world. What Eric misses is that this transition has essentially neutered BTC. CT says bad, tradfi says good 🤷🏻
