🇦🇺 Filo from Australia needed cash twice in 30 days. He didn't approach a bank. He didn't sell his Bitcoin. He opted for a 3rd way.
He borrowed against his Bitcoin.
Here's what happened: he submitted a loan request with his own terms on Firefish, including the interest rate, matched with a lender, and cash landed in his account within 24 hours. His Bitcoin stays in a non-custodial escrow the entire time. He still owns every satoshi.
Then he did it again.
No bureaucracy of banks. No selling. No credit checks. Just P2P lending backed by Bitcoin as collateral.
The takeaway?
You don't have to choose between conviction and liquidity anymore. Filo needed cash twice, got it twice, and his stack stayed intact. That's Bitcoin working as productive capital, not just sitting idle.
