Many such stories. Aave provides real use-cases by allowing users to borrow against their Bitcoin and buy houses for their families. This is why DeFi will win.
It was 2020, I needed to buy a house. Most of my liquid assets were in Bitcoin. I showed my mortgage broker my wallet with Bitcoin value, hoping he would include as part of my net worth…. He laughed. So I used DeFi. I deposited Bitcoin into @aave and borrowed USDC, transferred USDC to my @coinbase account, then to my bank. House bought. Bitcoin appreciated. House appreciated. Loan debased. Now, it’s 2025, @FannieMae now recognizes #bitcoin as an asset they will lend against. This means over 300k mortgage brokers and Real Estate Agents in the USA are about to discover Bitcoin.
