Usually, when you borrow for a mortgage, you don’t do it against an existing collateral but against a robust income (whether a job or your company). And I do have a robust income in cryptocurrency which is why borrowing Bitcoin or Ethereum makes sense.
But more than a decade after the creation Bitcoin and Mt.Gox, it seems no company is providing that traditional mortgage in cryptocurrency leaving fiat as a necessary step for borrowing (no end to end cryptocurrency payment and borrowing without converting to fiat).
Without this, cryptocurrency definitely won’t replace fiat.
if I read your sizable crypto income, 0.5 eth, the equivalent of $390 for today on Etherscan, maybe you can convert your earnings to Fiat when the prices are good and save it, or invest it into real business. so you don't need to borrow from the bank.
And if it fall back to less than $190 next month for 6 years, then it’s no pay, and things risk to turn violent (I’d be somewhat done but it’s a personal issue more complex that you think not directly related to me). That’s important to note that I do need the money soon. It can’t be delayed. I can’t wait to save enough. I will need to pay down before being able to save enough.
Though, I could have that expected Master degree years ago. But I didn’t take college enough seriously. This is also partly a consequence along covid19 of why the state is proposing me a place in Africa now that I got my bachelor degree.
However borrowing 950Ether with $380 per ETh for selling everything immediately is a good strategy (cryptocurrency price won’t matter and there are many hodler who want to take the risk to hold cryptocurrency on the long term).
I have smaller third party resources for covering my daily living (including grants from Google vrp), but not for those additional expenses.
