Borrowing against crypto can provide cash without selling the underlying asset, but it replaces a potential capital gains event with interest, liquidation risk and counterparty exposure. Using Elon Musk's Tesla-backed borrowing as a starting point, Peter explains why the ultra-wealthy tend to borrow conservatively against large asset pools rather than treating debt as free money.

The episode compares the US ‘buy, borro...

CIP-113 has been merged into the Cardano CIPs repository, moving Cardano closer to a standard for programmable token-like assets.

In this video I break down what programmable tokens are, why they matter for real-world assets, stablecoins and tokenized securities, and how projects could use transfer rules, KYC allowlists, freeze/seize actions and issuer controls without turning every implementation into a custom one-off.
