He also breaks down why traditional Bitcoin yield usually comes with trade offs such as custody loss, counterparty risk, leverage, or financial engineering. Now, explained by Pascal, Bitcoin plus Lightning may unlock something radically different, productive BTC yield without giving up custody or taking leverage. This points to a future where Bitcoin is not just digital gold. It may become the best productive base money for a new financial system.
