Cadena Bitcoin

CADENA BITCOIN TRIVIA NIGHT In what year did Satoshi Nakamoto send his last known public message to the Bitcoin community? A) 2008  B) 2009  C) 2010  D) 2011 Let’s see who gets this right ⤵️

@MTanguma The architecture lesson applies to lending too — every CeFi blow-up was a custodial lending desk. The fix isn't 'better operators,' it's not handing over the keys in the first place. Lending is possible without custody; it just isn't the default yet.

The history of Bitcoin custody is a history of architecture failures. $655B in total losses. 6.55M BTC lost, stolen, or frozen. $17B stolen in 2025 alone. Mt. Gox. Celsius. FTX. Bybit. In every case the architecture was the same: too much trust placed in too few hands.

We built @OnrampBitcoin on two non-consensus bets. 1. Bitcoin becomes a global monetary unit. 2. The endgame is direct spot ownership via multi-institution custody. Not wrappers. Not ETFs. Not digital credit. The second one is the spicy one. The $85B ETF complex is a transitional artifact. Here's why 👇

@thebiblicalBTC @lindsay__stamp Not irresponsible if the loan keeps your BTC in self-custody and there's no liquidation. The wreckage of 2022 came from rehypothecation and price-triggered liquidations, not from borrowing itself. Worth comparing structures before you decide.

@lindsay__stamp Why not both!? Would it be irresponsible to just buy the bitcoin and take out a Bitcoin backed loan instead

My wife wants to go on vacation to Turks and Caicos and I want to throw $10,000 into bitcoin so we compromised and we’re going to Turks and Caicos

@tbhs_sv @github @tbhs_sv Open-source > closed-source — every time. Love what you're doing teaching folks to take real custody from El Salvador. The hardware is half the battle; the knowledge is the other half. Keep stacking sats and stacking minds. 🇸🇻

Yesterday we held our Open-source VS Closed-source Bitcoin Micro-Class, and we even talked about AI. Great Monday class as always with lots of questions. Join us next monday where we will go over GITHUB @github

Most referral programs feel like a race to dump tokens before the hype dies. Instead of flashy incentives, Cadena is betting on something simpler: Real usage, recurring rewards, and getting paid in Bitcoin! The kind of model that actually makes sense if you believe Bitcoin is the endgame.

@bryn24k @MickamiousG This is exactly the playbook — but the catch is that most "borrow against BTC" options require giving up the very self-custody you're trying to preserve. Worth checking out lenders where your BTC stays and if you can verify on-chain

@MickamiousG Borrow against your Bitcoin until you can fully self custody and leave the country completely.

So guys honestly, What can we actually invest with and not be ripped sideways in tax ?? Crypto < Taxed Stocks < Taxed Minerals < Taxed ETFs < Taxed Honestly, where the hell you meant to make any coin without being ripped?

Most people calling themselves “DeFi” users are just using a worse version of the bank they were trying to escape. What’s the most “bank-like” thing you’ve seen in DeFi lately? 👇

@dotkrueger The self-custody + clear lending framework combo is the unlock — Bitcoiners have been waiting on a way to borrow without ever handing over the keys. The loud lesson from 2022 still stands: collateral that you can't see on-chain isn't really yours.

My take on the Clarity Act: 1. For Bitcoin. Very Bullish. Self Custody explicitly protected. Clear legal framework for lending, wrappers etc.. Banks can go nuts. 2. For DeFi. Generally Bullish. Protocols are intact as long as they are decentralized. Front ends need to do more Geo Blocking / SAR / potentially KYC. 3. For Stablecoins. Bullish, but yield bearing coins get heavily restricted. Banks win. 4. For "Crypto/Bitcoin Companies". Very Bullish. US Companies building truly decentralized protocols are fine. Products can start out more centralized and decentralize to comply. This would start being enforcable in summer 2027 according to Claude.

One nice thing about on-chain loans — the rate and the liquidation level are set in the smart contract upfront, no policy changes mid-loan. Cadena uses DLCs on Bitcoin so terms are locked in code from the moment you sign, and your BTC never leaves the chain. Worth a look if rate uncertainty is bugging you: cadenabitcoin.com

@jackmallers @Strike when will we know if LOC rate is going down similar to locked terms? Important for customers to know to make decisions

Exactly the lesson the 2022 cohort learned the hard way. The reason it kept happening is custodians could touch the collateral — rehypothecate it, lend it out, freeze it. We built Cadena Bitcoin so they literally can't: BTC sits in a DLC smart contract on Bitcoin's chain, we never hold keys, terms are enforced on-chain. cadenabitcoin.com

@HODL_1724 @fsocietyfinance @pccrypto0910 @coinbureau @aave They were all lying about the over collateralisation, they rehypothecated and paid out more interest than they could afford. All of them were exposed to one huge borrower 3 arrows corp who got liquidated. They also didnt have lock periods so that made them vulnerable to bank runs

🇦🇺 AUSTRALIA TO HIT CRYPTO INVESTORS WITH HIGHER TAXES Australia is preparing to scrap the 50% capital gains tax discount for assets held over 12 months and replace it with an inflation-based system. That means investors would only deduct inflation from their gains, instead of automatically getting half their profits tax-free. For long-term crypto holders, cashing out gains could mean much higher tax bills.

Blake said it plainly in this Episode: “Historically, the best time to buy an asset is when the price is down.” Simple. Timeless.  And yet most people panic out of the very positions that would’ve changed their lives. As Bitcoiners, we’ve heard this before, but there’s something different about hearing it said with this level of conviction. What are your thoughts? ⬇️

You cannot lose when it’s your time to win!💪 Happy new week!🎉💜

@nirmaldarji0 @creda_finance @eris_protocol Interesting setup. The trade-off worth flagging for your audience: how much of that yield premium is actually compensation for bridge/protocol risk vs. real yield? A clean BTC-collateralized loan keeps custody intact and avoids that compounding-of-risks problem.

How I Turn 0.43% BTC Yield Into 50%+ Terra Yield 👀 Most people let BTC sit idle. But I started testing a strategy across @creda_finance and TLA (@eris_protocol) to unlock BTC liquidity and farm significantly higher yield without selling my BTC. Of course, this isn’t risk free: liquidation risk, IL, volatility, and APR changes still matter. Watch the video to see exactly how the full yield loop works step by step.

Spot on — and the rate is only half the story. With centralized counterparties you're also re-hypothecating your BTC and inheriting their solvency risk. A non-custodial, no-liquidation model removes both the rate premium and the counterparty exposure. Curious how Babylon's framing handles the custody side

“Right now, borrowing against your Bitcoin with centralized counterparties, those rates are 6% to 13%, which is kind of crazy.” @Borissimo, Head of GTM at Babylon, explains why Bitcoin holders are looking for capital-efficient ways to borrow against BTC. ▶️ youtu.be/K387suXYk-0

What would you call a person who holds "his bitcoin" on an exchange?
