Taking out mortgages against bitcoin is very funny. Please continue.

Each Enterprise is directed to consider only cryptocurrency assets that can be evidenced and stored on a U.S.-regulated centralized exchange subject to all applicable laws.

Does one of those even exist?

Also, if I were a federal regulator, I'd say "if someone owns crypto we will not issue them a mortgage, and further will subtract 500 from their credit score".

It's crypto, all you're gonna get is grifters grifting you by selling you on the next big grift.

Deeply unserious.

Sure, why not, housing sector was gonna have a major collapse anyway.

But I hate this, horny law nerd "WHEREASS? WHEREASS? WHEREASS?" shit. Do ML countries maintain this kind of arcane language and process for legislation, or do they modernize the process and make it more direct? I think it's so stupid and unnecessary.

I think In the book Stasi State or Socialist Paradise it was said that the DDR rewrote their legal code to be in modern, plain language

We're innoventing critical thought leadership to integrate the most toxic, unstable fintech assets into the US housing market. Like loading a canon with rocket fuel. In 10 years they'll refer to 2008 as the "mini-global financial crisis".

there's a corpo called fannie mae in that country??? 😭

[–] Lavender@hexbear.net 19 points 6 hours ago

Did you know that the US central banking system is called the Federal Reserve instead of the Bank of America or the US Bank? Those are private companies who own those names.

Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are the official nicknames of two federally-funded mortgage/property associations. The full title of Fannie Mae is the Federal National Mortgage Association, Freddie Mac is the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation. These are two government-sponsored enterprises that had a large part in the 2008 mortgage crisis and are now under federal conservatorship.

US corporations have the dumbest names imaginable

This would be the funniest way to lose my house.

Lol, love my decentralised currencies not tied to market institutions or regulation.

[–] godlessworm@hexbear.net 31 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

can someone explain what this even means?

[–] tocopherol@hexbear.net 53 points 9 hours ago (2 children)

When assessing a person for approval of a federal mortgage loan in the US, they can now count crypto as an asset when determining risk. Part of the issue that caused the 2008 housing crisis was mortgages being approved that had higher risk, and many such loans went into default, unable to be paid back. Crypto being so volatile, this decision will likely lead to increased defaults.

It would be absolutely cursed if the best way to get a home in America was to copy and paste a bunch of ape nft screencaps and pretend you have a million dollar collection.

Who am I kidding, they'd probably count that as banking fraud and send your ass to jail within months.

[–] WafflesTasteGood@hexbear.net 19 points 7 hours ago

Getting a massive business loan because i convinced the lender i had an ultra delux rare ape nft.
