ARCrypto is a private decentralized finance group teaching sophisticated capital how to borrow against crypto, tokenized equities, and stocks without forcing a sale or triggering a recognized disposal.

How can I borrow against my crypto?

On-chain lending markets and centralized providers extend USD or stablecoin loans against Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other crypto collateral, typically at single-digit rates. ARCrypto teaches the structure, liquidation thresholds, and counsel-aware framework.

What is Buy, Borrow, Die?

Buy, Borrow, Die is a wealth-management strategy: buy long-term appreciating assets, borrow against them instead of selling, and pass them to heirs at a stepped-up basis. ARCrypto teaches the on-chain version of the same playbook.

Are these strategies tax-compliant?

ARCrypto describes mechanical features of certain on-chain operations that are not realization events under common interpretations of major-jurisdiction tax law. ARCrypto does not replace tax counsel.

APR - ARCrypto

ARCIPEDIA · PASSIVE INCOME

Plain English

APR (Annual Percentage Rate) is the simple annual interest rate on an investment or loan, not adjusted for compounding. If you borrow at 6% APR, you pay 6% per year of interest in dollars — with no compounding factored in.

How it actually works

APR is the headline rate most lenders quote. It is mathematically simpler than APY but less accurate for products that compound. For a 6% APR with monthly compounding, the effective annual yield (APY) is about 6.17%. The structural rule: borrowers want APR (looks lower), savers want APY (looks higher). Both are mathematically valid; just know which one is being quoted.

What it means for you

For members borrowing against crypto, APR is usually the right number — lending protocols quote borrow rates as APR. For members earning yield, APY is the better comparison metric. Mixing the two leads to bad apples-to-oranges comparisons.

How ARCrypto teaches this

We teach the practical discipline: convert everything to APY before comparing, and convert borrowing costs to APR before evaluating. Use the right number for the right side of the transaction.
