I've heard of people not borrowing but selling their assets in an apparent illogical way to invest in Bitcoin. The head of a family sold his house and went to live in a bus instead, investing the money into Bitcoin. Happy to say this was more then a few years back and surely BTC has risen enough they have been ok from this decision but its hardly safe to do so. Its all highly speculative and a house is one of the few things it very often makes sense to borrow for due to high utility.
Buying BTC but not using it is like commodity speculation, you could buy a barrel of oil but its really not advisable compared to just using the end product for its utility in cars. Most people should stay balanced, dont get into a spot where you might be forced to sell as you may then receive the worst price. Theres a herd effect in markets where all 'weak hands' are forced to drop out, it happens so often we should expect it regularly now and in future once again, avoid borrowing.
Topic: Can I take a loan to invest in bitcoin? - page 26. (Read 4169 times)
If you must take out a loan, please take out a long term loan. The payback period should be longer than three years. Logically, we cannot have a full-blown bear market that will be sustained for this long. Also, if you take out a loan, you do not need to invest all of it at once in bitcoin. You could try the DCA method. Aside from this, I strongly discourage anyone from taking out a loan for this purpose.
Reflecting on my experience, it's not a problem borrowing money to invest in bitcoin, it's just important to have a mature plan because failure to pay installments can make you as a borrower trying to get money to pay arrears, and usually, you will sell the assets you have.
But it's not recommended because investing in bitcoin is long-term even yearly while paying regular installments every month so it's impossible to produce faster than bitcoin to pay installments with interest this will be a little more difficult and even pressure for them.~~~
- try to borrow from the closest person who doesn't insist on paying on time
- avoid banks or loan sharks
if indeed she is not up to this plan then don't ever suggest she borrow money in order to be able to buy bitcoin because the risk is very big.
From this point it is difficult for them to do because not all friends can lend their money at a very high risk while making loans to banks or moneylenders it is clear they want collateral so the borrower must be prepared with the consequences, especially in timely repayments because loans are like that's the risk.- try to borrow from the closest person who doesn't insist on paying on time
- avoid banks or loan sharks
if indeed she is not up to this plan then don't ever suggest she borrow money in order to be able to buy bitcoin because the risk is very big.
While you can avoid borrowing, there are still many ways to be better able to even learn from previous experiences.

Due to the fact that Bitcoin is unstable and constantly in a state of fluctuation, its price is subject to fluctuations based on the state of the market and is not advised to be purchased with borrow or loan funds. Therefore, the best way to invest in Bitcoin is with your own money that you feel comfortable losing due to the risk involved,such as scammers in crypto industry, lost of private key, seed phrase with human careless all this can make you lose all your funds.That is why those who have dealt with similar situations constantly telling us not to invest all of our money in bitcoin.
It is usually advisable to conduct extra study before investing in bitcoin by becoming knowledgeable about it. not only because investors are doing so. Many newbies only consider the positive aspects of bitcoin, particularly when its price is rising, believing they should take advantage of the opportunity while ignoring the risk. As a result, the majority of them believe they can invest any amount of money, including borrowing or carry loan to do so.

Questions like this are very much asked by beginners who want to try investing in bitcoin and crypto, I also have cousins who ask me for advice on whether it is good to invest in bitcoin with borrowed money!
My reply to her is this:
It is generally not advisable to take out a loan to purchase Bitcoin or any other cryptocurrency. Cryptocurrency markets are highly volatile and the value of a particular coin can fluctuate greatly in a short period of time. This means that the value of the coin you purchase with a loan could drop, making it difficult to repay the loan. It is important to do your own research and make sure you understand the risks before investing in any financial product, including Bitcoin.

you can explain to your friend,
- plan her monthly expenses
- set a target price (at what price she wants to sell the bitcoins she bought with the borrowed money)
- try to borrow from the closest person who doesn't insist on paying on time
- avoid banks or loan sharks
if indeed she is not up to this plan then don't ever suggest she borrow money in order to be able to buy bitcoin because the risk is very big.
We have a couple of older topics concerning loans and bitcoin. Majority of people's opinions in the replies still stand.
Don't remember the last time I replied in one of those threads, but my feelings are certainly still the same--you would be nuts to borrow money in order to buy bitcoin, especially if it's a high interest loan. It seems like some people get very interested in doing this when there's a sharp break to the upside in bitcoin's price, and that's classic FOMO thinking.The fact is that while you might just get lucky and make enough of a profit to make the loan a smart idea (in retrospect, of course), bitcoin has been known to break people in half with its glorious and notorious volatility, and its tendency to not do what you want it to do. I'm sure all of you have heard that advice "don't invest more than you can comfortably lose". Well if you're borrowing money to gamble in the crypto market, you're obviously not heeding that wise mantra.
Some people have to learn the hard way, though.
It's not advisable, but if you are going to take a loan to invest, it's better to borrow money from a family member or another trustful person who isn't going to charge massive interest fees, like banks or loan sharks do. Anyway, you should be prepared to not be able to repay the loan with profit from the investment during some years, since that is the period of time bitcoin may take until improving its performance.
Make sure to have a regular job and side incomes in order to repay your debt, if the investment doesn't go as firstly expected.

"Can I take a loan to invest in bitcoin"
You can invest on bitcoin but not a good idea to take loan in doing so, it is expected that you invest from the savings you have left from your earnings over time, it's not what should be rushed for or lend money to do, because it's volatioe and in making an investment it is always good to start with your capital and not from lending, you wouldn't want to risk the tendencies of loosing the whole asset out of your negligence to fraud while you might have borrowed the money for it.
The reason it is not recommended to use borrowed money to buy Bitcoin is because the risk is very high due to fluctuations, the price can change significantly in a matter of minutes.
Please use extra consideration in making a decision to buy Bitcoins using borrowed money. If you see the market is showing signs of rising and there is no cold money to buy Bitcoin, let the bulls pass by. It is better to be patient until you hold cold funds than to act using reckless methods that can disturb your Psychology.

What is your advice?
It doesn't really matter where you want to invest the money, I would always advice against taking out loans to buy risky assets. You might have a good feeling about bitcoins and think there is going to be a bull market around the corner which you don't want to miss out on. But even with the best research and predictions there is no guarantee to make our desired returns. When it comes to investing borrowed money we face the risk to lose the money. In case our investments fails we will be still forced to repay the loan, which could ruin us financially for a long period of time. The best advice is to only invest the money we can afford to lose.

What is your advice?
There's nothing wrong in loaning money to invest in Bitcoin if you do it in a bull run. What is your advice?
In the bull run you know that prices are rising and so you would be able to recover the loan in a short period of time. I'm a bear market, loaning money to invest in Bitcoin is a terrible idea unless you are a trust fund baby. Take note that despite what you are seeing in the market, it is we are not in a bull market. Do not be deceived.
Another case if you borrow money to invest in gold maybe it's still acceptable,
but for clear crypto investment it will be very risky and not recommended,
Obviously I completely agree with what you said.
but for clear crypto investment it will be very risky and not recommended,
Obviously I completely agree with what you said.
Gold can go down as any other asset, investing in any asset with borrowed money is a bad idea. The only not so bad idea to take a loan is if you are investing in your own business or yourself and have a good business plan. It is also risky, but you keep some kind of control over the situation: if your plan was not so bad and you work hard you can probably achieve your success. In the case of crypto or gold or any other asset of that kind you have no real impact on the situation, it can go any way.
If you really believe and think about it and know how to pay for it I think it's ok if you do it at the right time and know the next bitcoin movement that your analysis says will increase in the near future or in a few months.
but borrowing to invest in crypto or bitcoin is not the right choice because it has a high risk, it's better to think carefully, and my advice is that you better sell something expensive for you to sacrifice and buy bitcoin. Because if the result doesn't meet your expectations, you don't think about returning it. And just losing your valuables although I think it's less likely if you go bitcoin and for the long term it will definitely work as long as you are patient.

What is your advice?
I can tell you no, don't borrow to invest in bitcoin. Bitcoin is an extremely volatile asset and we are all uncertain about its future going up or never. Invest when you have money, if you don't have money, work harder, don't borrow to invest. The market is still there, bitcoin is still there, don't worry about running out of investment opportunities.
There are a lot of threads here in the forum regarding this kind of question. Try to search it, but I would say the majority of people here will say no, but if you can pay it even if you lose it (not relying on getting profit on bitcoin as it is still not sure that you will gain profit), then take a loan. Just remember, are you willing to pay those loans or money even though you haven't held it or even used it? Then, if your feelings aren't hurt, take out a loan. But again, this is a bad move, and we have already warned you. Just save money instead of taking a loan.
don't push yourself too hard when we don't have enough capital to buy bitcoin, so like you said I also said no to not doing this. It's better to use as much money as we can if you want to invest in bitcoin, it will be even better. Even though the amount is small, we don't need to bear the burden of debt that we have to pay.Don't get used to doing this, even though the goal is very good to invest in bitcoin, it's better to have a little bit of bitcoin but we don't have debt, it will make life more comfortable.

I am not against using loan to invest in Bitcoin only if you have a good duration to pay back and it depends where you are getting the loan from. If you are getting the loan from an institution that will seize your collateral. Please avoid getting the loan but if you can get from your parents and maybe your partner who would allow you to be with the money for the next three to four years, it is a very good move to take the Money and get into bitcoin now because you are surely going to have your reward in few years time.

As I know there are many other topics regarding talking loan for investing and in all these topics most of people said it's not good at all to invest with the money you don't actually own into the matter on which market you invest because in the end if you invest with the money that is not comply for you, you will be under pressure and due to this metal pressure you can make good decisions about your investments which can harm your and your money. Specially about bitcoin and cryptocurrencies because these markets are riskier compared to other markets you should be always ready to even lose all the money you are invested there.
If you are sure that you are able to pay it in time and by all means, you have a loan and invest it in Bitcoin or any other profitable venture. But if you are unable to pay your loan then don't even think about it.
I always think that having a loan to invest in a possible profitable venture is worthy of paying for interest. As long as we are sure that we can pay them I do not see any problem on taking loans, besides if it is a loan that can possibly change our life then why not.

Borrowing money to invest in bitcoin shouldn't be advisable, if we can ensure timely payment of those loans then borrowing money to invest will not be a problem. Borrowing money for investment is like doing business, it may or may not be profitable. So we should ensure we have another steady source of income, and if our investment fails, we can still pay those loans with our other income. But if we don't have a stable job, then don't think that borrowing money to invest in bitcoin and will use that profit to pay the loan is a mistake that should be avoided in the first place.

Yeah, the same, I think it's not really advisable to take a loan and invest on crypto because you really don't know when the price will go up and there is the chance that it can still go down hard.
If your friend wants to invest then start on a baby step, maybe just $100 in the beginning and then see if he can invest if he has extra money in his pocket and continue to buy bitcoin whichever he can. It's the grind that counts here, not the easy step of just buying in bulk when you can't.
