Yes. And this has taken many people by surprise. There is a question mark over P2P lending with a platform like Firefish, where BTC is held in escrow and funds are borrowed directly from an individual lender rather than a company. At the end of the loan, you get the exact same BTC back. It's early days, I guess, but I'm with you, I think Bitcoin is the best collateral on the planet. Just gotta ride that volatility and understand the tax situation.
@2dogs1chic@swissBTCmaxi Unbelievably, here in the UK, HMRC considers posting Bitcoin as collateral on a lending platform to be a disposal, even though you aren't selling it. There are proposals to amend the tax law, but nothing will change until next year.
@BTCsessions@americanhodl8 Yo Ben, welcome to England. Sadly going to miss you on Monday. A few doors up from Nando's is the Blue Monk Nepalese/Indian which is very good. Love the Swan Hotel too. Have a great stay!
