If you have at least double the btc you need to attain your objective, why not earn 4.5% on your btc with half, or even 1/10th?

Because I'd rather not wake up to find half my stash has been goxxed?

We seem to be getting a lot of tards in here lately, suggesting what a great idea it is to leave our coins on at best shady lending platforms that promise 4-5% interest annually on coins you leave with them.

I’d rather get punched in the crown jewels than let anybody else control my stash.

you are right and i merited your answer.

in the long run the entire lending and borrowing of bitcoin/bitcoin as collateral landscape will mature and solid and reliable companies will evolve. lending and borrowing is finance. there will be ways found for the best/hardest money ever created to be part of this without risking them. this will be the final nail in the fiat coffin.

hodlers will just not need to ever sell the most pristine collateral ever existed.

hodlers will earn interest owning the best money ever existed.

in a few yers from now, selling bitcoin will be a rare event. the protocol will ossify. and so will hodler stashes.
