The website is garbage though, it does not work without scripts and archive.org can't make a working archive of it, which is so rare that I suspect it's intentional. archive.today was able to make one though

Re-hypothecation ... leading to a situation where multiple claims exist on the same Bitcoin holdings.

effectivily dilluting the as-if supply with derivatives: leveraged gains for banks.

They are selling non-existant stuff (like with the big XMR price manipulation) -- we'd need a mechanism of price discovery which distinguishes between real and paper. Monero on exchanges has the same problem. Weren't we supposed to be delisted from this scam?
