AI is so incredibly handy when trying to think out different strategies, and get thoughts out of your head and down on paper 👌🏻<br/><br/>The decision between buying a house vs holding BTC is going to be the question of this cycle. I fee that very soon, it won’t have to be either/or. Have you listened Leon Wankums talk from BTC Prague? Total 🔥<br/><br/>My concern is income - getting leverage to buy a house requires greater and greater levels of income as each year goes by, but my working class salary stays so low. I could sell my BTC to buy a house outright, but the OPPORTUNITY COST doesn’t make sense… so then… it’s gritting my teeth and bearing it for another cycle 💪🏻<br/><br/><a href="https://fountain.fm/episode/6SghT3dDmolm8afLZUkl">https://fountain.fm/episode/6SghT3dDmolm8afLZUkl</a><br/><blockquote class="border-l-05rem border-l-strongpink border-solid"><div class="-ml-4 bg-gradient-to-r from-gray-100 dark:from-zinc-800 to-transparent mr-0 mt-0 mb-4 pl-4 pr-2 py-2">quoting <br/><span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Article"><a itemprop="url" href="/nevent1qvzqqqpxquqzqyzukgge9mpq0kzywkdatx0xlpjtfarxumg9q5sd3zpvq7s9ft9ut7gl8d" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1">nevent1q…gl8d</a></span> </div> </blockquote> 2025-08-02T07:58:39Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqs8m6e48u3mvgqxue2skg92y5n04re46ucs39pgmsmu26mga7uxysszyrc0pcxdmtqtm2ryknesqpc9cx0vtmamkd2e8vw2p9wnv8rg5vr4cpt0zcl Excellent pod!!

I guess they covered their bases, but it’s a little bit underhanded. It’s a shame because I do like them as a company, and will most likely continue to use them.<br/><br/>I’ve looked into some of the other lending platforms, but tbh I think the B2X loan is such a great product for stacking BTC, I don’t know uwhy more people aren’t talking about it! <br/><br/>Thanks again for the heads up <span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a itemprop="url" href="/nprofile1qqsfky5y0u7j30ug2r4uq0udf9dp468e5tyxm0dzjhys24npnglwsvgprpmhxue69uhhqun9d45h2mfwwpexjmtpdshxuet5qyv8wumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnrw4e8yetwwshxv7tf9u7u7xzm" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1"><span>btcschellingpt</span> (<span class="italic">nprofile…7xzm</span>)</a></span> and <span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a itemprop="url" href="/nprofile1qqs043gn588da502h36q0sffjay9m69mk28dmm805qtgzl7g6n6q0fgpz3mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduqs6amnwvaz7tmwdaejumr0dsj8e6tj" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1"><span>jakewoodhouse</span> (<span class="italic">nprofile…e6tj</span>)</a></span> for the shout out 🙏🏻👊🏻 2025-07-24T07:51:59Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqszz845pjpjepal98lx3gwm2g8tfawcg0hwksr0hql26vgkkc0t9vszyrc0pcxdmtqtm2ryknesqpc9cx0vtmamkd2e8vw2p9wnv8rg5vr4ca7vkr2 In reply to <a href='/naddr1qqvxyethv9ex2tt5dpjj6cm8wskkcmmpdckhgunpwqpzpxcjs3ln629l3pgwhspl34y45xhglx3vsmda522ujp2kvxdra6p3qvzqqqr4gu7e9k32'>naddr1qq…9k32</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Hi again, so I’ve reviewed Ledn’s Custodied Loans to see if they also risk CGT events.<br/><br/>Ledn have had these on offer for a while now, usually at an extra 1% premium to their Standard Loans.<br/><br/>However now the Custodied Loan is the only one they offer, and the Loan Agreement language and structure appears to be more CGT friendly (from what I can deduce using ChatGPT as a research assistant).<br/><br/>Here’s what I’ve found:<br/><br/>Under the Custodied Loan agreement, the borrower retains ownership of the Bitcoin collateral, granting<br/>LEDN only a security interest.<br/><br/>Key clause (Section 4(c)(i)):<br/>&#34;Borrower grants to Lender a first priority security interest in and to the Collateral... The Borrower shall retain<br/>all rights of ownership in the Collateral, subject to the Lender&#39;s security interest.&#34;<br/><br/>ATO Implication:<br/>Because the borrower retains beneficial ownership, the ATO is unlikely to treat this as a CGT event. The security interest does not constitute a disposal for CGT purposes.<br/><br/>Hope this helps, as usual DYOR or consult a tax account (LIKE I SHOULD HAVE DONE 😅) 2025-07-21T22:28:27Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqsrup8nkc5vnsqtkghc2cxgn9swxsq0szl57wkfpggvjyn7nr5xrfczyrc0pcxdmtqtm2ryknesqpc9cx0vtmamkd2e8vw2p9wnv8rg5vr4cmf6xtu In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsyp6lav9vgr84mkkfp4q0v89purgy7n2cgttrtedw46nat65wf3nspzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuurjd9kkzmpwdejhgeqgxla'>nevent1q…gxla</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Sorry but the ATO won’t care if you decide YOU are right, or if I am right. It will be what they decide.<br/><br/>On a side note, it will be very interesting to see how the court case progresses in regards to Victorian Magistrate Michael O’Connell, who ruled that bitcoin is a currency like the dollar and should be exempt from CGT…<br/><br/>Of course this is not applicable yet, and the ATO will fight it all the way tooth and nail I’m sure.<br/><br/>I swear, if Australia was able to pull its thumb out and take bitcoin friendly stance, the amount of capital that would flow here from all over the world would be mind boggling! 2025-07-20T08:36:43Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqsdtn9a80pcfzlndx43czxylqwmqf8vk0e8a54jh3w8v20ptcsmn4czyrc0pcxdmtqtm2ryknesqpc9cx0vtmamkd2e8vw2p9wnv8rg5vr4cpuuew4 In reply to <a href='/naddr1qqvxyethv9ex2tt5dpjj6cm8wskkcmmpdckhgunpwqpzpxcjs3ln629l3pgwhspl34y45xhglx3vsmda522ujp2kvxdra6p3qvzqqqr4gu7e9k32'>naddr1qq…9k32</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Firstly, thanks so much for this thoughtful post, and to <span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a itemprop="url" href="/nprofile1qqs043gn588da502h36q0sffjay9m69mk28dmm805qtgzl7g6n6q0fgpz3mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduq3wamnwvaz7tmjv4kxz7fwvd6hyun9de6zuenedyvpjzk3" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1"><span>jakewoodhouse</span> (<span class="italic">nprofile…jzk3</span>)</a></span> for bringing it to my attention on his podcast recently.<br/><br/>Secondly, in 2024 I took out some loans with Ledn.

I feel like a major jackass now. I wonder if Ledn’s “custodied loans” (now their only option, they do not re-lend to generate interest anymore) also have the same structure??
