Coinbase just turned your Bitcoin into a down payment

From the creator

Coinbase just opened a mortgage where your Bitcoin collateralizes the down payment, so you never sell it and never trigger a taxable event. Pledge $250,000 in Bitcoin against a $100,000 down payment, and there are no margin calls even if the price collapses. Scott Melker walks through how the two loans combine into one payment, and why the no-liquidation piece is what separates this from every Bitcoin-backed loan before it. He also covers eight straight days of ETF inflows making this the strongest August on record, Core Lightning telling node operators to shut down, and the first quantum-resistant Bitcoin transaction.
