Crypto As Collateral - Is Bitcoin to the Rescue?
summary
Argues that Bitcoin already acts as refuge in Latin America, citing Argentina and Venezuela currency collapses, widespread use of Bitcoin for international trade at a 5–10% premium and businesses settling invoices off‑bank. Claims: only 21 million BTC supply and current market value ~$300B versus $100T fiat implies large upside to BTC; predicts $250k BTC in 2022/23. Shows tooling: Celsius lending/earn‑yield platform (1.3B entrusted, ~200k users, 170+ countries), DeFi rewards via CEL token, smart contracts and Money over IP. Governments must learn to tax on‑chain for wider adoption.
