For years, crypto holders had a strange problem: they could be asset-rich on-chain but credit-poor in the real world.
This proposal is essentially acknowledging that digital assets have become too significant to ignore.
The real opportunity isn’t custody.
It’s capital efficiency.
Instead of selling crypto to fund growth, SMEs may be able to borrow against it and keep their long-term exposure.
To me, this isn’t a story about banks versus crypto.
It’s about transforming dormant crypto wealth into productive business capital.
If executed well, Vietnam could become one of the first markets where crypto evolves from a speculative asset into a practical financing tool for entrepreneurs.
NEW: Vietnam's Ministry of Finance has proposed letting SMEs pledge digital assets and intellectual property as collateral for bank loans.
SMEs are over 98% of the country's businesses.
Long story short im just ranting after a long day of #build. But the interesting thing about having your own project is you dont really have the question the purposes of your hustles at the end of the day
One of the biggest shifts happening in Asia right now has nothing to do with AI.
It has to do with how this generation defines success.
For decades, we were taught that success meant doing more.
This may end up being one of the most important workforce signals of this decade.
Because the moment wellbeing becomes a bigger workplace concern than AI, we’re no longer talking about technology.
We’re talking about a fundamental shift in human priorities.
Great example of an out of touch, aggressive human being.
He offered me a job to work together, we agreed to proceed on terms, full clarity of the importance of family time. Two months later, no paycheck comes in, and I am 'demanded' to hop on a podcast while on vacation with my family. Told him I didn't think it was a fit anymore, after being called a retard and aggressively shamed via dm until I had to block him. Nothing in the contract about hours to work, when to show up.
I work hard for my family to ensure that I don't have to put up with this. Sad to see a close friend losing touch with his humanity.
As I said in our last convo, best of luck with the business man, I hope you do well, but I have no interest in being treated like a subhuman servant.
