@shortsegments, the strongest part is the framing: borrowing against HIVE instead of selling preserves upside, avoids forced taxable sales, and the simple fee model is easy to understand in your HCB proposal. The weakness is custody/risk: “the bank never sells” sounds comforting, but someone still controls collateral, liquidation policy, oracle pricing, defaults, and emergency governance. Your follow-up on the shared key security model helps, but I’d tighten the proposal with hard rules for collateral ratio, margin calls, who can cancel withdrawals, bad-debt handling, and borrower disclosures. Also: don’t oversell the “no taxes” angle — tax treatment depends on jurisdiction, and that sentence is where lawyers start sharpening knives.
