The best possible collateral has always been from the lender’s perspective.
Bitcoin continues to teach broader society that if you can’t afford to do something without leverage, then there is a good chance you simply can’t afford it.

I am comfortable not having an opinion on most things.
I am an expert in less than a handful of topics.
I am very competent in maybe another handful.
The rest… well, listening is better than speaking on those topics for me.
I struggle to understand how so many people seem to have so many opinions.
Whatever the news story of the day is… instant opinion.
Me? Don’t even care what the news story of the day is… and certainly don’t have an opinion on it yet.

My advice is get the biggest one you are comfortable with. You run out of space way quicker than you think you will. Especially if not every bottle is perfectly Bordeaux-sized.
