Collateral When I realized that some people offer their most prized possession or resource 'be it a house or their BTC' as collateral for a loan, I validated something profound: that it's not always about losing something, but about making it work for an opportunity. At that moment, I understood that collateral becomes an act of self-confidence, a conscious decision where the value lies not only in the asset itself, but also in the ability to manage it wisely. Today, that perspective can be part of your personal strategy, allowing you 'depending on your versatility, market knowledge, and understanding of cycles' to incorporate risk and liquidity management tactics common among the most experienced investors. I proceed with caution. Before committing my assets, I compare rates, review track records, reputation, and terms, because making the decision is never the end of the road: it's just the first step. And you, how often have you been at that point where risk intersects with opportunity? Because in the end, 1 will always equal 1, but what changes is what we do with that one. Do you think this niche has real room for growth as 2025 draws to a close?
