Bitcoin verstehenEpisode 263 - Wie du deine Kosten deckst - ohne Bitcoin zu verkaufen! Mit Sygnum & FirefishIn dieser Folge vergleichen wir zwei Anbieter von bitcoingedeckten Krediten: Firefish und die Sygnum Bank. Wir sprechen über Gemeinsamkeiten und Unterschiede beim KYC-Prozess, Einkommensnachweis, Laufzeiten, Rückzahlungskonditionen und Auszahlungsdauer. Außerdem klären wir, was bei Kursschwankungen geschieht, wie der Loan-to-Value (LTV) festgelegt wird, ob es Mindestbeträge gibt und wie hoch die zu zahlenden Zinsen sind.
Zusätzlich werfen wir einen Blick auf die Verwahrung der hinterlegten Bitcoin und gehen der Frage nach, ob mit diesen gearbeitet wird.

KryptoplebsDobré aktiva se neprodávají. Z bitcoinu můžete díky Firefish čerpat neustále - Igor NeumannBitcoin se stal mainstreamem a ve světě financí proniká do oblasti půjček a kolateralizace. Díky tomu můžete využít jeho likviditu, aniž byste ho museli prodat.

Reči o živote, vesmíre a vôbecMartin Matejka – Firefish, Bitcoin ako zábezpeka, energetika, trading
S Martinom som sa rozprával o energetických trhoch, bitcoine a bitcoinových pôžičkách.
