Back in the day, my small stash of BTC was, to put it nicely, "a long-term hold," and to put it bluntly, just sitting idle in my wallet collecting dust. I didn’t dare sell or move it. Aside from occasionally opening the wallet to check on it, it was practically useless. Then I started using @Lombard_Finance, and my mindset completely shifted. When I wanted to stash my BTC safely, I’d convert part of it into $LBTC, leave it there, and forget about it. It would start earning passive income for me on its own, and my BTC was still there, just no longer lying idle. When I wanted more flexibility—for example, transferring it, cross-chain operations, or exploring other use cases—I’d use BTC.b. I’d move liquidity to wherever it was needed. Over time, I realized that the value of $BARD tokens isn’t determined by who’s hyping it up, but by the number of people like me who genuinely use $LBTC and BTC.b on-chain every day.
