How can Bitcoin holders earn yield without putting their stack at risk? Richard Byworth built a career structuring for hedge funds, and he argues that Bitcoin is the hurdle rate for everyone. He also explains why covered-call overwriting can eat away a major part of your Bitcoin in a rally, and he walks through basis trades collateralized by Bitcoin that offer low-volatility, market-neutral returns.
