NDP Leadership Convention, Juno Awards, Canadian Citizenship Test (lol) | CBP 258 Pt 2

Bitcoin-backed mortgages are now officially here — Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac have greenlit the first US government-backed product that lets you use Bitcoin or USDC as collateral to buy a home, and most people are completely misreading what this actually means.The structure is more nuanced than the headlines suggest: you pledge Bitcoin into a Coinbase Prime account, take out a second loan backed by that collateral to fund your down payment, and crucially — the collateral is never mark-to-market. No margin calls if Bitcoin dumps 40% overnight. That's the biggest part of this story nobody's talking about.The US Treasury's own 2025 financial report: $6 trillion in assets, $48 trillion in liabilities — a net position of negative $41.7 trillion, up $2 trillion in one year. Jerome Powell publicly acknowledged the structural deficit problem. Meanwhile Canada moves to ban Bitcoin political donations under Bill C-25, Wealthsimple launches prediction market gambling, and 150 million Binance credentials just leaked. All of that plus Bitcoin mortgages, Australian pension Bitcoin allocation, Strait of Hormuz oil crunch, and quantum computing risk — all this episode.Sponsors:easyDNShttps://easydns.comAnycast DNS, domain registration, web & email services — fast, reliable, privacy-focused.Pay with Bitcoin.Use coupon code CBPMEDIA for 50% off your first purchase.Bull Bitcoinhttps://mission.bullbitcoin.com/cbpThe CBP recommends Bull Bitcoin for buying Bitcoin simply and securely.Use the link above for 25% off fees for life.256Heathttps://256heat.com/Heat your home, garage, or office while earning more Bitcoin than it costs to run.Book a call with a hashrate heating consultant today.Bitcoin Mentorhttps://btcmentor.io/aff/90/Get hands on, white glove support with your Bitcoin storage and planning.
