Earning Yield on Bitcoin
11 min readarticle
After the collapse of Celsius, BlockFi, and Voyager — which promised 8-12% yields on Bitcoin deposits — the community learned a painful lesson: if the yield seems too good to be true, it is. Your Bitcoin IS the yield.
Generate passive income from your Bitcoin holdings through various yield strategies.
Yield Opportunities:
Risk vs Reward:
- •Not your keys = counterparty risk
- •Smart contract risk
- •Impermanent loss
- •Regulatory risk
Key Takeaway
The safest yield on Bitcoin is zero — self-custody with no counterparty risk. If you pursue yield, understand exactly where it comes from and what risks you are taking. If you cannot explain the source of the yield, you are the yield.
