Taking a loan is one thing. Taking a loan to invest in bitcoin is another.
Personally, I dislike taking out loans. I had been a bit wild when I was younger and did a lot of crazy shit. Took out loans to do things I see now were not really worth it. I realized how foolish I had been when I started paying them off.

OP I wouldn’t advise your friend to take out a loan to invest in bitcoin. Trying to invest in bitcoin should not make you to take out a loan. Investments generally are risky and volatile. It is not wise to go into all that with money that is borrowed. You may likely not like the outcome.

For some, taking out loans is real easy. Paying back is what’s difficult. Just like a tube of toothpaste. Easy to come out and difficult to go back in.

"Can I take a loan to invest in bitcoin" this question was asked by a friend

What is your advice?
I don't like to do anything on loan. So far I have never done anything with a loan in my life and never advised anyone to do anything with a loan. The Bitcoin market is an unregulated system. Here the market is always up and down. If you buy Bitcoin with a loan and the market goes down, you won't be able to repay the loan later. Later you will be in more danger and have to sell your home assets to repay the loan. So one should not and should not be advised to do anything about the loan. Invest if you have your own money otherwise there is no need to borrow. Loans drive people to ruin.

My advice is the same with your advice. I don't like loans. I don't like borrowing money. I'm not comfortable knowing that I owe somebody a certain amount. But, who knows, if ever a time comes that I will have to borrow money, I might. However, it will never be for the sake of investment. It might be due to emergencies.  

But if somebody is to borrow money for the sake of investment, Bitcoin is a better choice especially in the middle of a bear season and if it is for long-term hodling.
If you say so. I'm also very scared of loan.

It is not advisable to take loan to invest in bitcoin, bitcoin volatile nature makes this not a good idea because you can't predict how long it will take for you to get profit from your investment. Remember it is better to invest in long term than short term, what if the time of the loan expire and bitcoin is in a bear market, what will you do ? How will you pay back your loan when you are not gaining profit but maybe losing due to the dump in price after investing.

Sometimes if the loan is a long term one,remember it will accumulate so much interest. Bitcoin is not a get rich quick business, so it is better that you use only your savings to invest in bitcoin to avoid embarrassment from the loan,which can be so devastating. Though, some persons have loan from and invested which worked for them but it's not the best way to invest in bitcoin.

Investments in Bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies can never guarantee you a profit.  Yes it is true that it is possible to make huge profit from here but there is no guarantee that how long after investing you will get good profit.  When you take out a loan to invest in Bitcoin, you must repaid the loan with interest.  So if the price of Bitcoin takes longer to rise, you will have to pay more interest.  So you must stay away from loans when it comes to investing in crypto. Because the price of Bitcoin may decrease after investment. so be careful from thinking about loan when you will invest in crypto

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.
