mircea_popescu: KRS1 i can top that : all through the late 2000s, a coupla banks here sold suckers house loans denominated in swiss francs, on the premise they were ~1% cheaper interest. this, after fees and all, amounted to maybe 500 bucks saved.
mircea_popescu: if you're thinking of such deals then you must have the credit and connections already which'd allow you to pick up a mil or two on something under 5% a year on the basis of you putting up a quarter of the cost or less in cash.
mircea_popescu: but the purchase itself can be collateralized.
mircea_popescu: knotwork if you wish to run the dc then you definitely want to bring a real estate/finance type on your team.
mircea_popescu: right in the dough!
mircea_popescu: KRS1 this is the time of day the delivery boys are fucking the pizzaiolo gals.
mircea_popescu: knotwork then perhaps the right move is to partner with a bank, take a loan at a decent rate if possible, pad your costs and buy extra miners.
mircea_popescu: but it didn't overall end wel lfor them.
mircea_popescu: i mean all through late 2000s average folk figured they're in real estate, "honey the house made more than i did this week",

mircea_popescu: maybe one of the miners/pools/asic producers is looking for space.

mircea_popescu: ie, you can never get rich under a fiat system, all you can do is become poor. it's at least the consensus of pre-fiat economists everywhere.
