What if he doesn't pay back because ₿TC went down instead of up and he doesn't have it anymore? Ofc he needs the next $10 because now it will go up for sure and he'll make the other $10 back as well... :)

The loans are backed by assets. They will be seized if the loans were not paid back.

Who pays if those assets are fraudulently overvalued rubbish?

They aren’t, they’re US Treasuries and US Agency Debt. There are no toxic assets used for collateral in the repo market.

Looking at yesterday, there were mortgages used as collateral.

That’s Agency Debt, which I specifically stated can be used as collateral for a repo loan.

And if that mortgage debt is overvalued rubbish who pays?

I'm trying to avoid pedantic arguments and focus our discussion on the safeties and how effective they can be when the unthinkable happens.
