They break how Bitcoin-backed loans beat real estate on liquidity, divisibility, and global underwriting. Mauricio confronts the mortgage illusion, it is a loan on your income, quietly subsidized by fiat debasement and taxes. They unpack why banks struggle with always-on risk engines, and why regulation is actually pulling Bitcoin finance into the open. It ends on conviction, sovereignty, and why loving the work is the real edge.RELAI DISCLAIMERRelai sponsors this show/podcast and is authorized to provide crypto-asset services in Switzerland and across the European Union under the MiCA regulatory framework with its license issued by the French regulator, AMF (License No: A2025-006).
