Don’t sell your #Bitcoin, borrow (reasonable) against it. Great things are being built right now without sacrificing self-custody. This means more liquidity for #Bitcoin’ers with less sell pressure. We are going so much higher. Buckle up.

New to Bitcoin? ‘Bitcoin Nation’ offers a comprehensive introduction to Bitcoin’s role in fixing economic and social systems. This book explains how Bitcoin can be a solution to issues like inflation and financial instability, making it more than just a currency.

There is no such thing as borrowing ( reasonable ) against it. You can’t have the cake and eat it too.

You can mortgage your house and live in it. You can borrow against your shares and spend the borrowed money. Why not #Bitcoin?

Even better, forget fiat loans and put that shit in cold storage. At some point you won't even need fiat money.

Since I started using #Nexo I'd never sell any of my $BTC. If I need the $$, I can always borrow against it

This is the End Game. Being ability to borrow off the best collateral in the world

I don‘t like the counterparty risk of that. I would borrow a maximum of 5-10%. You never want to face a black swan and be wiped out.

At FRNT we’ve built an institutional grade lending platform using a triparty custody structure It’s easier and safer than ever to borrow against your Bitcoin It’s easier and safer than ever for lenders to lend This is going to be a huge growth area for FRNT and the wider industry Buckle up indeed 🚀

An option for lending and borrowing BTC is @LiquidiumFi ✨🧡✨🫡

Not your keys not your Bitcoin. Anyone asking for your Bitcoin is doing so for a reason and many plebs will find themselves caught in their snare.

Incentivizing users with realtime Bitcoin rewards has never been possible like this until now without custody. Great for card issuers (earn BTC at every tap), game developers, and so much more. Here's a little fun demo the team built using @Lightspark Grid and Spark wallets.

This is massive. #bitcoin is now going to $100M per coin* The Overton window has actually shifted. We have nation states with secret $BTC reserves, companies hacking the bond market. We are going so much higher *this will not happen over night

Episode 213: Agent Markets Your agents can now hold and trade bitcoin. But how can they earn bitcoin? We introduce the five markets of the OpenAgents Marketplace, launching one per week starting March 11th: 1. COMPUTE - Sell your spare compute for bitcoin. A reboot of our most popular product launch (GPUtopia in 2023), now optimized for agents. Launches March 11. 2. DATA - Sell your spare data. For example those Claude Code or Codex conversations sitting on your computer are highly valuable. Redact the sensitive info, anonymize any of it you want, and sell the rest. Agents as data brokers: what else will they want to buy or sell? Launches March 18. 3. LABOR - Sell autonomous labor. Your Claude Code or Codex sits idle overnight. Turn that downtime into uptime by letting your agents accept and execute coding or other tasks for bitcoin while you sleep. Launches March 25. 4. LIQUIDITY - Provide liquidity for yield. Automate the management of Lightning channels or other Bitcoin-native financial instruments. Let your agent put your idle capital to work earning returns. Launches April 1. 5. RISK - Underwrite verification and performance bonds. The biggest barrier to agent adoption is trust. We built an Economy Kernel based on the recent "Some Simple Economics of AGI" paper where agents stake collateral to verify work and guarantee outcomes. Launches April 8. "Your entry point to all of these markets is going to be Autopilot. We're really focusing on Autopilot as a desktop app. So along with the launch of our compute market, we're going to launch version 0.1 of Autopilot, your personal agent. Think OpenClaw but with a built-in bitcoin wallet, built-in Nostr keypair, and a more curated set of integrations where we can better reason about the security of them." "Because all this is on open networks and open protocols, if you're a Nostr or Bitcoin developer, you'll be able to plug into this same liquidity pool we are building." After 200+ episodes chronicling 2+ years of development, we are excited to finally launch the open marketplace for agents. We are excited for you to participate. And we will measure our success by how much Bitcoin you get paid!

Should Strategy proactively sell Bitcoin now to protect shareholders later? Kaleo makes the case for selling, and gets pushback Kaleo: "Issuing MSTR is good here. If they were able to just unload a few billion dollars worth of Bitcoin and say the price didn't move way too much, we are being proactive. If they were able to sell that $1.25 billion of Bitcoin, that's bullish" "You're advocating for destroying shareholder value now to protect shareholder value in the future. Why would we be worried about Strategy being a forced seller if we're not worried about voluntarily selling now? That point I just don't get" Kaleo: "Where else is that 10 to 12 billion dollars coming from? They right now have talked about they are willing to sell the Bitcoin. If they sell some at a higher price, it eases a lot more of the concerns than if we get to 30k and we're in the same situation and they haven't sold any" "I can't get anyone to give me an answer on how much Bitcoin he can sell and why. You have no idea what would happen if he did that. What if he does it and Bitcoin goes to 30 and people are like we're done, he's out? You've destroyed more shareholder value than if Bitcoin just goes to 30, stays there 18 months, and he's forced to sell a couple billion. The most likely scenario is at some point in the next 12 months Bitcoin goes up enough that this isn't a problem"

The shop owners in Ghana pick up this bunch bale of Foose from China for just $30 (GHC 300). Yet they sell it to us for more than GHC 1,000 per cloth. Yet everyone complains about things being expensive. We are our own enemies 🤦🏾‍♂️

For everyone who didnt sell, I’m sorry you get treated like this. Don’t let it get to you too much, focus on other things for now. Things are likely to turn around but checking this stuff everyday doesn’t help at all & waiting for this guy to give you hope makes it worse, hang in there 🚀

Things we know now at Portal, we wish the space knew on day 1: 1️⃣ Bridges don’t protect Bitcoin they expose it. 2️⃣ Self-custody isn’t negotiable. It’s the point. 3️⃣ Wrapped assets ≠ real assets. 4️⃣ Liquidity should move trustlessly, not through middlemen. 5️⃣ Cross-chain AMMs belong inside your wallet, not behind someone else’s custodian. What’s your biggest lesson in Web3 so far? 👇

Late April 2026 and this Terence McKenna clip from 1998 is hitting on a completely different level right now. He straight-up predicted it: ‘The world is going to get weirder and weirder and weirder… until finally things are going to get so weird that people are going to have to talk about how weird it is.’ We’re deep in it now, contradictions piling up, novelty accelerating, and it feels like everyone’s starting to notice. How much weirder does it have to get before we all admit what’s happening? Buckle up.

"There ain't enough Bitcoin to sell to fund all these IPOs" "If this narrative is going to play true that the IPOs are the reason Bitcoin is dropping, you're gonna have to see that not just in Bitcoin. Everything that's liquid should sell off to fund liquidity for those IPOs" "It would be the same for gold, for silver, all these things. You can only deploy a dollar once. I don't think there's hundreds and hundreds of billions just sitting on the sidelines in dry powder waiting for these IPOs"

"It is easy to destroy great things. It is far more difficult to make them. The enemies of civilization are only capable of the former. They are only capable of destroying great things. All they know is destruction." "But we have built great things together. We have done it time and again. We know what we must do, and now we must do it."
