A blog needs a timestamp for the articles.

E.g. "The Weekly Financial News Digest"
https://www.bitbond.com/resources/the-weekly-financial-news-digest/

- which week is it?


Thank you! We are adding the date on the weekly digest and fix the language selector.

What happens if I borrow ten bitcoins, and then the price shoots up to $1,000 per coin?  Am I sunk?

If you've denominated it in BTC, then I would assume, yes, you are pretty screwed. But as far as I'm aware there's also an option on Bitbond to denominate it in USD so you pay back the USD value. Obviously that also means you lose out if the price of Bitcoin drops and you have the loan denominated in USD, but if you're really susceptible to changes in Bitcoin price that might be worth it.

What the hell , so people borrow Bitcoins but basically the USD value ? if I borrow 1 BTC and the price is not 220$ and tomorow I should give refund and the price is 110$ per BTC , I should give back 2 BTC instead of 1 BTC ? isn't that kind ascrewed up ?
Also what's the difference between this website and BTCjam they look the same (Iguess the rates changes only and also the borrowing method in BTCjam you can choose USD or BTC )

Like I said, there's two denomination values. I don't use Bitbond myself, I just had a quick look and it seems people can choose what "Base Currency" for their loan to be denominated in. Someone who doesn't mind risk probably won't care about denominating their loan in Bitcoin. Someone who knows they have a fair salary and wants to avoid risk can equally opt to have the loan be denominated in USD.
Well said, thank you. You can also find our more here http://blog.bitbond.com/exchange-rate-pegged-loans/

I just signed up and tested it and ... just stuck, probably not a lot of people will be able to borrow because there is that proove of income how someone is supposed to proove his income if he make it online , He screen his Paypal or his Bitcoin wallet or how this works exactly ?
or Online income aren't taken seriously ?
We definitely take online income seriously but it's important to provide a proper documentation of it.

How often does the price get "refreshed" when a loan has the USD as its base currency?

Every 6 hours. We pull it from BitcoinAverage and always take the average of the last 24 hours.

My wife and I own a business in Bangkok and we have applied for a loan but didn't hear anything back other than an auto-reply.  Is there someone processing applications right now?
