Im never gonna bother with that bullshit again, says Bitcoin OG Michael Tozoni about getting a crypto home loan to invest in property.

After becoming wealthy-ish with Bitcoin investments, Tozoni sensibly decided to diversify. Not wanting to sell off his crypto, he had grand plans to borrow to buy investment properties and use the rental income to pay off the loan.

The only trouble was that banks arent the slightest bit interested in wealthy Bitcoiners, preferring poor wage slaves instead.
