          I guess I meant in the more general case of stock market billionaires never cashing out and using loans based on the value of the stock to do anything, only ever liquidating enough to pay on the loan, if that even becomes necessary.

          But you are pretty correct on that. I wonder how much “rug pull” there will be.
