At Camp Nakamoto, I sat down with John and Nadja of Born to Be Free, an all-natural, tallow-based skincare brand built from scratch on a Bitcoin standard. They shared how traditional banks turned them down for a loan despite an 800 credit score and a profitable business, and how Ledn’s Bitcoin-backed loans help them fund their business without selling a single sat. It’s a real-world look at how Bitcoiners are using tools like Ledn to access liquidity, grow their businesses, and stay true to their low-time-preference mindset, without giving up their stack.
