THE USUAL WAY

Living off Bitcoin usually means selling it.

Every month you sell a little. When the price drops, the same cash costs you more coins.

HOW IT WORKS

Borrow what you need, when you need it.

Instead of selling each month, you ask the agent to borrow a little more. Your Bitcoin stays put.

Deposit your Bitcoin

Use your Bitcoin (cbBTC on Base) as collateral. You keep owning every coin.

01

Ask for this month's cash

Tell the agent in chat, for example "Borrow another $2,000 for this month." It raises your borrowing limit and sends the USDC.

02

It keeps the loan safe

The agent only borrows while the loan stays safe. It checks every 5 minutes and steps in before liquidation.

03

FROM THE VIDEO

Borrow another $2,000 for this month.

Loan $4,000

Loan-to-value 4.4%

Status Safe

On it. $2,000 is on its way, and your Bitcoin stays put.

Draws happen when you ask. There are no automatic monthly payouts yet.

WHAT IT CAN'T DO

Honest about the limits.

Borrowing to live keeps your coins. It also means carrying a loan that grows every month.

Borrowing was behind for most of the year.

In this example the seller was slightly ahead on most days, while Bitcoin was below where it started. Borrowing only pulled ahead when the price recovered in September.

The debt grows every month.

Each draw adds to the loan, and interest keeps adding up. If Bitcoin falls for longer, the loan takes a bigger share of what you own.

Liquidation risk is real.

The agent steps in before liquidation, which can mean selling some Bitcoin at a low price. A very fast drop can still hurt.

This isn't tax advice.

Whether borrowing is treated differently from selling depends on where you live. Ask a tax adviser.
