Would you like to use Bitcoin (BTCTo buy a property, finance a child’s education, or invest in new businesses, all without selling your investment?
The CEO of Lever Jullian Duran makes a case in the Clear Crypto Podcast for using Bitcoin to not cash out but unlock opportunities.
Bitcoins: the power to transform your life
Duran’s mission, which he based on his own experience, is to help Bitcoin users realize their full potential, as they are rich in assets but have little liquidity.
“The whole idea with Lever is, how can you use your Bitcoin to have a footprint in something that’s unrelated to crypto, not to undermine crypto, but simply to earn dollars from another source.”
Duran believes that Lever’s idea is to convert Bitcoin into “pristine collateral” It opens the door to real opportunities, especially for industries and communities who have historically been under-invested.
“That way you’re building equity, you’re earning cash flow, you’re not selling your Bitcoin, and you’re doing all of these things through different parts of the broader financial ecosystem.”

“The idea is to have your foot in a lot of different places at once,” Duran said. “There’s a run on Bitcoin? You’re protected. There’s a run on real-world industries? You’re protected.”
Case studies in real-world applications
Lever generates returns by leveraging what Duran describes as “what Duran calls Duran tokens”. “boring industries,” Also known as industries like housing, utilities and infrastructure. He argues that these sectors offer yields in dollars uncorrelated to crypto markets.
Bitcoin OGs appreciate the flexibility of Bitcoin beyond its financial value. It’s personal.
“I was at a Bitcoin billionaires party in Puerto Rico… an OG looked at this mansion and said, ‘I could afford this, but I’d have to sell Bitcoin,'” Duran recalled. “That scene replays in my head. You have here somebody who is a multi-millionaire, but who really can’t use that to just live life ambitiously.”
Duran says that is what he wants to achieve. “Firepower, it’s an exercise of freedom,” “He said”
“To the extent that you can use your Bitcoin to acquire fiat without selling it, it allows you to buy better houses, send your kids to better schools, travel… be free, in the way that the currency was intended to enable freedom.”
