Whether it be buying btc or buying equipment to mine btc. Did you ever borrow fiat to make your purchase? I have not. Just curious if anyone ever has.

I actually borrowed $50 from my mom to buy bitcoins. I paid her back and when I made around $200 worth. Lucky for me, when I bought the bitcoins, it spiked so much that I even got to buy my parents things like new clothes and we ate out. Best $150 spent last 2017.

Yes, I borrowed money to buy crypto currency. I'm very sorry that I did not do it before. I could have already repaid the loan for a long time.

Never tried it mate, but it looks like its favorable on your part and its seems its a good strategy. But I don't know, I'm a little skeptics so I'm not sure if I have the nerves to go that route as well. Maybe if I would just think of it like buying things with my credit card and pay the debt later, I might deal with it.

No, why would anyone do that?
Buying bitcoins is some sort of investment and everyone should follow rule "invest only what you can afford to lose". Borrowing money is not good option, if you don't have money to buy it find other way(earn crypto). Borrowing money can be option only if you can return that money but that would mean that you can invest little every month.

This is my thoughts as well, If I'm going to invest, not just in bitcoin, its better if the money came from your own wallet and not from banks for something. Again, I'm a risk taker as well, but if I can saved enough and later put it in bitcoin as investment that would be a perfect definition of investments. But I can't blame everyone who is borrowing its the risk that they are willing to take.

I also plan too. How many times, i was tempted to do that. And if I do follow my instinct, I could be enjoying my life travelling anywhere I wanted.

As I recall, my first attempt to buy Bitcoin, when the value was not even reach a dollar. Way back 2009.

Of course, others have done this because they really want to earn big time most especially around December 2017. But as for me, I didn't. I just use my personal fiat and invested it in bitcoin. I just use small money though and I don't need to borrow anymore for it.

Nope. I think that's not a good practice. You can earn bitcoin without even without money capital, just your pure effort and diligence. It's too risky if you invest money in bitcoin coming from borrowings, but well it depends if the luck is on your side. Maybe you just have to study and learn as much as you can so that the money you borrowed won't go for nothing. Invest wisely!

Yes I did borrowed 10000 usd to buy bitcoins last year and it is yielding much results than expected. I have already paid half of the loan with the profit generated. Hope I might end up paying by the first quarter of this year.

Nope. Have not borrowed any money from anyone to buy any cryptocurrency. I don't want to owe anyone specially money because it will drive me mad. I'll end up thinking about it all nighy because I owe someone money to which I can pay immediately. It's really hard to function when I don't use my own money for investments.

Well I am one of those who borrow fiat just to buy bitcoin I was so excited because I read and known some people who made a fortune making a  lot of money from buying bitcoin when they first stumble it, I did not regret it, it was a good decision on my part.

I have not borrowed fiat to get btc, and I never will. The market is just too volatile to be doing such a thing. One moment you may be profiting and an hour later your entire portfolio may be in red, and then it may take awhile before it recovers. Then, you will not be able to pay back your debt and the interest will just keep increasing.

I didn't do borrow to invest into crypto. I just did some work or task to have some crypto and bitcoins.

My office mate did this 3 months ago and he was just lucky. He bought bitcoins for $7000 and then he sold out all at $9500. He made great profit at the end, yet this was extremely risky. I never do this.

I never borrowed fiat to get btc since I am working to earn my own money. I also did not spend too much on buying btc because I know that it was risky for a newbie like me so I was just searching for free opportunity online. Although I am earning in slow pace, I think it is good for part-time .

Not yet but I think I would never do since it would defeat the purpose of saving money and making it profit for me since most of the borrowed fiat have interest and usually they have very high.

my friend just did it, he borrow some amount of money to buy alt coin. and now his nett profit is kinda legit too. i think it is based on your luck in borrow and buy coin. kinda risky, but it will help you gain some more money that starting with small amount of money.

Yeah I have and that is the current situation I am in. Also I am borrowing funds to cover my life expenses so I can keep all my crypto. Needless to say don't do it like me I owe a bunch of people now Tongue.

Good suggestion, dont do like you. By borrowing money our mindset will be different rather than if we use free afford money. In crypto, nothing we can make sure that we will end in profit. So borrowing money is dangerous.
