💭 Recently, while chatting with a few old friends, I realized that our understanding of BTC varies quite a bit.

They still hold onto the traditional "wait for the price to rise" mentality, while I have come to see BTC as a passport to participate in global markets. It’s not about trading in short bursts, but rather allowing it to participate in investments and generate returns on its own.

🗺 My BTC roadmap

The first step I took was to place BTC into a chain-based format that can prove reserves, pegged 1:1, without flashy leverage or engaging in high-risk speculation. This has qualified me to enter more scenarios.

Next, I discovered that I could use it to participate in some interesting asset combinations:

• Stable USD yield-generating assets, such as the commonly mentioned U.S. Treasury bonds and fund notes, which are accessible on-chain.

• Staking rewards from certain networks, although the returns aren’t that dramatic, they are settled daily, making them tangible and visible.

🧠 Why I chose this method

• No need to monitor the market daily; the source of income is stable and largely unaffected by price fluctuations.

• Funds can be withdrawn at any time and aren't locked up for long periods.

• Complete transparency with third-party verification, so there’s no need to rely entirely on platform reputation.

📅 Actual experience

During these months of the bear market, my BTC has been productive. Daily returns come in, not too much, not too little, but far more reassuring than simply waiting for a price increase. When the bull market arrives, it will add another layer of price appreciation on top of the returns.

💬 I feel that this approach is more like upgrading BTC to a "key for participating in the global market." There’s no rush to make quick money, nor the worry of being stuck; it’s quietly creating value all the time. @Solv Protocol #btcunbound $SOLV
