Bitcoin is no longer just a savings technology. It's collateral for the real economy. Andrew Hohns, Founder & CEO of Newmarket Capital and Battery Finance, explains how his firm structured one of the first Bitcoin-backed real estate loans, why credit markets desperately need Bitcoin, and how BTC could reshape mortgages, commercial buildings, and even small-business lending. We discuss:
Why Bitcoin is pristine collateral for credit instruments
The first Bitcoin-backed apartment building
Bitcoin mortgages vs traditional financing
Will institutions change or be changed by Bitcoin
