a hoodie-wearing founder built an app that lets people hold dollars and earn yield sourced from bitcoin-backed loans
his stated goal is to onboard the world to bitcoin, but he starts by offering dollar accounts that feel safe and familiar
he takes bitcoin from one side of the market, lends dollars against it to the other side, and captures the spread
there’s no promise of bitcoin upside to dollar holders, just yield… but that yield only exists if bitcoin demand keeps growing
he doesn’t print tokens, he routes flows… but the entire machine depends on bitcoin staying relevant, liquid, and in demand
if bitcoin activity slows, the yield disappears
if bitcoin grows, the system scales with it
many would call it a bank built on bitcoin rails, but if you put it in an app store, wrap it in clean UX, and call it payments…
it’s “the easiest way to use bitcoin without using bitcoin”

MSTR hodlers own $MSTR to get more dollars
BLOC users leverage it to continue to own BTC and owe dollars
A group of based maxis create a VC token that doesn’t give direct exposure to bitcoin but gives exposure to companies that build around the ecosystem with a lock up period and no guarantee of outperformance or return of capital…
