Of coarse you spin it positive since you are the lender.

Any lender that accepts >0% risk is a gambler.

  Seriously .7% a day when you have collateral and paying fees is only a good deal for the lender.    Clearly anyone that has to borrow 1 BTC doesn't have much means and will probably be a repeat borrower.   This is similar to payday loans.  

Collateral and paying fees are not a negotiable issue, they are a requirement before we begin interest rate discussion.

All other loans on the forum are at way higher rates, I just made an offer. Given serious and exhaustive information I am willing to offer lower rates.

That isn't the point.   I understand trading and loans, I day traded options for years, although that was almost 10 years ago.   Typically though you had to have $25k in an account before you could use a margin loan, but margin rates are great for short term loans.   In the altcoin world the borrowing costs are just so high that the only one that will win in the end is the lender.   I simply doesn't make sense.     Besides if you are bullish and you the coin is locked up in an escrow it doesn't do any good as dumping is so common in the altcoin world.  

The lender has to win. His interests take precedence over the trader, as it is only natural. We are talking about loans not partnerships.

Any DECENT lender will let you withdraw some collateral if it exceeds the guaranteed margin otherwise you should choose another escrow/lender.

So if you get BTC giving, for example, 110% LTC and it skyrockets doubling its value any DECENT lender must release half of your collateral immediately.
Of course the opposite applies, if the coins devalue too much.... ouch.

This is what I offer to my customers:)

Anyway I don't wish you any ill.  I just find it shocking that people would accept such terms.

You really aren't making any sense.   There are always trading plays, but if you have to borrow to maintain a position, over time it is a losing game.  

I understand that it is not an easy concept to grasp.

Let's just say that if you are betting against your coin you should not be taking a loan but selling the altcoin and viceversa.

If you trust your coin you can use an extra injection of cash right now, and if things start to go haywire you can always pull out.

Crypto Swap Exchange
Amount: 1 BTC
Period: 2 Weeks
Collateral: Reddcoin
Looking for a reputed lender with previous experience in lending.

If you have that much Reddcoin, just convert it into bitcoin.   
Some people believe that their Alt coin would rise in value in the future. It would be a waste to use their Alt coin to trade for a bit of bitcoin for a short amount of time, when they can easily get it back in the future. The same reason as you don't want to sell an old valuable car just for that amount of money, when it would grow in value.
Just as much risk that the value will go back down too.   Borrowing is a certain cost and isn't worth it for the loan sharking that goes in the BTC world.  (Unless you are the loan shark.)  
That is why 20% extra of the alt coin is needed. And also interest. If the value for the alt coin does go down more than 20%, the lender can still cover a bit of the loan if the brorrower defaults.

For a trader this is a boon, it "freezes" value and keep his/her action going. A lot of risk can be hedged this way.
