Episode Synopsis

Today we're talking Cryptocurrency, Blockchain, Bitcoin, and BlockFI

BlockFI is a platform that allows you to earn up to 8.6% APY on crypto assets, including USD stable coins. They are able to accomplish this by providing lending solutions to individuals and institutions who want to either borrow crypto or get access to cash without having to sell their crypto assets. An example: An individual bought Bitcoin when it was $4,000 and now it is $20,000. They initially purchased 5 shares which are now worth $100K and would like to use that asset to upgrade their kitchen but don't want to sell their bitcoin to do so because it would be a taxable event and take a large bite out of their asset. Instead, they take a loan from BlockFI for up to $50,000 at a 9.75% interest rate and 2% origination fee. Because banks aren't yet comfortable with accepting bitcoin as collateral to lend against, BlockFI can charge moderately high rates and afford to pay its' investors a high rate of return on their investment. We are currently moving forward with an investment in BlockFI and think you should look into them too.
