Loans can be a risky if you ask me but if you know that you are able to pay it back then it should be no problem at all.
Take only a loan when you need something that is important and if you can pay it back.
Topic: Loans too risky? - page 64. (Read 67086 times)
in my opinion loans are too risky especially if you dont have any idea on how to lend someone. If i were you, ill just hold those bitcoin for more years and it will surely give you a good profit since you bougth it for $56 only. If you wanted to invest 1/4 of it ill suggest trading rather than lending.
yeah, i was thinking about making money out of giving my money to other people and getting the interest though it required a lot of work, i dont think it is risky to loan money
Lending also involves risk. Much better if theres an escrow and collateral. Even theres collateral sometimes you end up buying the their account collateral.If your unlucky that account has negative trust.Lending is another way to earn but be cautious whom to lend your bitcoin. Just research before you transact. 
It's not so risky if you are giving your money to trusted people without huge money problems, but i don't like to loan money to other people cause i'm scared about scams.

well though it is kinda risky all the time mainly because you will not make a lot of money out of it and there is always a chance that you will be scammed by the people

There are several people lending bitcoins here and for sure most of them are being scammed, meaning someone build an account, and then request a loan with it, soo they dump the account to you and you must try to sell the account to recover the money invested, its a huge risk if you like to keep your bitcoins and like they growing in number .
I like to find the reason those people are providing loan, are they highly benevolent people? They do a high risk low income job.

Loans maybe too risky it depends upon where are you going to use or spend them. This maybe difficult for me to pay if I will use this by bitcoin unless for buy and sell but it will be a win win process. Loans in real life out of bitcoin is very useful but it depends on being smart and how you will used them. I have to make sure that if ever I file for loans and it has returns so that you will be able to pay at the right time. It is not good to have charges its another part of wasting your money better make it on time.
But it is risky and it is not always a win win process since if you lose your coins you become under risk of losing them. 
If you can get collateral, then it will protect you some. The problem with collateral is that now you have something (like an account) that you don't really want and have to sell to get your money back.
I think accounts should not be a collateral since that kind of collateral can be an advantage if you are giving a loan. Like for example when someone wants to sell his account but no one wants to buy then they will just go to you to take a loan and give their account as collateral, it means they can easily get rid of their account.If you find a much trusted user, you can consider account as an collateral. Because even with account, once after getting loan users just change the password if the lender is not serious about it.
Some individuals turn to the Internet to get loans because they don't have the intention to repay it back or don't have the courage to visit a bank and ask for a loan there maybe because they are unemployed or have a bad credit history. I have seen Hero members on this forum scam for a couple hundred bucks like out of the blue.

Giving out loans is a risky investment for minimal interest.What if the borrower default?That means you simply loose your bitcoins.Instead it would be wise to sell and invest a portion in a worthwhile business or investment that will consistently earn you decent returns till retirement.Hold the remaining for long period let it appreciate even more!
always loans are risky and with bitcoin it is more because you don't know who you are giving that amount and you have no garantis in that
I think if you were holding collateral worth more than the amount of money you lend it will be safer. make sure you're holding the collateral for each loan I also would never give out big loans, because the risk of defaulting is just too high to cope with. Bitcoin tends to appreciate in value compared to fiat, yet most people earn their income in fiat money. Paying back a big loan can quickly become impossible if Bitcoin rises in valuation.
The bitcoin is delationary. When people borrow the bitcoin, and they earn in fiat, they will end up paying more.
Don't give out loans it is very risky they may run with your bitcoins and never return. And you cannot find them anymore since they may give false identification, false IP address etc. If you wanted to give out loans then join btc jam, its better to have a third party when giving out loans just to add security. But if I were you just keep your bitcoins to yourself. Sell some when you needed a hard cash.
Frankly, I don't think that a third party like BTC jam offers any plus in security. The only thing that improves security when giving out loans is to ensure the debtor provides valid, easy to liquidate and sufficient collateral (at least valued at 120-130% of the loan amount). Without collateral, I would not give out any loan - no matter how convincing the story of the debtor may be.
I also would never give out big loans, because the risk of defaulting is just too high to cope with. Bitcoin tends to appreciate in value compared to fiat, yet most people earn their income in fiat money. Paying back a big loan can quickly become impossible if Bitcoin rises in valuation.
Overall I also think that giving out loans in Bitcoin has very high risks attached to it. So my general recommendation is stay away from lending, if you don't want to risk loosing your coins.
ya.ya.yo!
I know that people give out loans but what's up with people no returning what they borrowed?? I want to know this because I might give out loans myself and I want to know what to watch out for... I have ~800 BTC at the moment and would it be a bad idea to start loaning? I bought my BTC back in 2010 mid August January(when it was about $0.07 per BTC) and I noticed the price went up a ton! Also what would be some other way to grow my BTC? Any ideas on what I should do?
Something I should have added my friend was doing something you guys call "mining" I am very knew to the bitcoin world even though I have had them for a long time. I bought these bitcoin from him because he needed to sell them, my financial advisor has told me that the longer I wait the more return I would get so I told him hold the account for 5 years and ill see where I am... So last July I had gotten my account back, did a bunch of research then found you guys. So I came here to post a few posts and for everyone skeptical this is the proof https://gyazo.com/ee99cef712e9b72f03a3e8e870c33624

Loans are always risky.
You never know if you get your money back, especially with bitcoins where you do not know the other party.
Chances that you are getting scamed are just too high, even with escrow.

I agree that loans are always risky and it is both risky for lender and the borrower. The risk for the lender is that there are chances that the borrower is not going to pay the amount he paid. And for the borrower is that you might not able to pay for the loan you have paid and you aren't going to get your collateral at all.
