 Btw no one has made any gains from Bitcoin. Those who had one 1 BTC years ago still have 1 BTC today.

 If Bitcoin had a circular economy like fiat does you could gain from Bitcoin by lending it. But it doesn't so you don't.

 Unless you lend it to somebody. This is possible on major crypto-platforms/exchanges.

 Oooh. Please provide pointers. I wasn't aware of BTC lending platforms.

 Ooooh interesting. It says something about 0.5% APY on BTC.

Is that an offer from the platform? Who am I lending to? How do I assess the risk.
