Wrapped Bitcoin / United States dollar

Here's the setup.
Using JLP as collateral, borrow SOL. Keep the LTV at the exact ratio of SOL within JLP (47%). This makes it delta neutral on SOL.
Example:
$100k investment -> buy $100k of JLP.
Borrow $88k SOL -> buy $88k of JLP.
So now you're essentially long $25k WBTC, $15k ETH, $60k USDC. You're also long $88k SOL and short $88k SOL, which is a wash.
JLP is yield's 19.8% and the SOL costs 4.5%. Effective yield on your $100k investment is ~33%.
LTV is only 47%.
What do you think? Main risk seems to be sudden changes in JLP's asset allocations.

Ethereum used to be PoW, and many FUD it for being PoS. But every single halvening cycle the conviction that mining an ever diminishing supply is an awful idea becomes more and more obvious.
Apparently Bitcoin miners have taken 17 minutes to mine a block for the first time since... 2010?
Investments in improving infrastructure are definitely halted temporarily (are AI data centers and silicon needs eating up the supply of mining hardware?) and with cost to mine a block sufficiently exceeding income it's clear the next round of squeezing minor miners out has started.
Some smart mining companies have successfully migrated their business away and into ETH just in time (i.e. BMNR).
Transaction fees still haven't made an appearance. This is what 3-4 weeks of bear look like. Every downturn hits the underlying ecosystem harder in each halvening.
People better wrap their BTC into WBTC in Mainnet? :)

Most people don’t realize this, but **some blockchains can freeze your crypto exactly like a bank freezes your account.**
Bybit’s latest security research confirms it: **16+ chains** have hidden freeze/blacklist switches built into the protocol or validator settings.
Here’s the short list nobody talks about:
**Hard-coded freeze:** BNB Chain, VeChain, HECO, KardiaChain, WAX, Tron
**Config-based freeze:** Sui, Aptos, MultiversX, Oasis, Moonbeam, Near, Harmony, Cronos, OKX Chain, Kava
**Smart-contract freeze:** Any token with admin keys on Ethereum, Polygon, Avalanche, Fantom, Arbitrum, Optimism (USDT, USDC, WBTC, etc.)
If they can pause your funds, blacklist your wallet, or “review” your transaction…
then you’re not holding crypto — you’re holding a permissioned asset they can seize at any time.
That’s why I’m personally **dropping Sui** and reallocating into **Zcash** and **Monero** — chains with **no admin keys, no freeze button, no foundation override.**
And please: **use crypto daily.** Travala, restaurants, hotels, freelancers — every crypto payment weakens the banks’ control over this space.
Now the real question:
# 👉 If your blockchain can freeze your money… is it even crypto anymore?
