Have you ever heard of a PayDay Loan? It's a kind of a legal loan shark mechanism where people who can least afford it get a quick loan - but often pay higher fees with a really strict payback structure. And why is that? Well, because most of the time the underserved bank clients are high risk and more often than not, desperate people turn to these kinds of loans to get out of a financial jam. LendUp takes a different approach by offering responsible loans with the ability to increase your credit with good behavior – and it's initiatives like these that will completely disrupt the loan shark lending market!

DrawBridge Lending offers fiat based loans using your Bitcoin as collateral and they give you a pretty strict payback schedule. And here's something that may surprise you. DrawBridge Lending operates in the United States complying with several states' regulations. Your crypto is secured in cold storage so that's safe - but enter first with word of caution - their Bitcoin prices are usually way below market value and their interest is markedly higher. But like any lender, be sure to read the fine print. To find out more about them, visit the link in our show notes.

And finally, on The Daily Five, we are projecting that 50% of the world's population will be using Bitcoin or some other cryptocurrency by the year 2020. Mainstream adoption is here and Pandora's box is open. So good, bad, or ugly, cryptocurrency is helping people survive in economically volatile countries with corrupt governments right now! People are using Bitcoin as a digital form of exchange to buy real world items like food, utilities and medicine.
