The Free Money Trick Banks Don’t Want You Using

Leverage Like the Rich

Today I want to share a trick to make free money, okay? Sounds crazy, but hear me out.

If you understand what you’re doing and move with purpose, this can become a perpetual cashflow machine. It’s not magic. It’s intelligent leverage. It’s strategic collateralization. It’s a well-built liquidity loop. And yes, it comes with risks. But it also makes sense.

Most investors live with the idea that money is made by selling. They buy an asset, wait for it to go up, and then liquidate. Long-term death. Because selling a core asset means paying taxes, losing future appreciation, and worst of all, getting kicked out of the system. I play a different game. I never sell my Bitcoin. I never sell my gold. I never sell my core assets. I put them to work.

The trick is understanding the cycle:

You have 1 BTC. You deposit it as collateral on a platform that lets you borrow against it. You borrow 100,000 USDT. You take that 100,000 to another platform that lets you re-pledge it and receive the same amount back as credit. With those new 100,000, you repay the original loan.

Result: your BTC remains as collateral, you didn’t sell it. You’ve paid back the original debt. And now you have 100,000 re-pledged, generating yield or ready to spin the wheel again. When that new collateral appreciates, you can borrow against it again. Reinvest. Pull cashflow. Buy another flowing asset. Repeat.

You can do this on centralized platforms like Binance, or on decentralized protocols like Aave or Spark. The label doesn’t matter. What matters is understanding the system. Having control. If you’re using it just to learn how margin and collateral mechanics work, that’s fine. But the next level is knowing what to do with that money.

This is where the strategy becomes powerful: what if you move that money into uncorrelated assets? Not just reinvesting in crypto. But into dividend-paying stocks. Into gold. Into private companies. Into instruments that don’t move in sync with your original collateral. Now your portfolio becomes stronger. More flexible. More antifragile.
