On my way back from Vegas. Maybe we can work out something when I get back.
Its a confusing story

Patrick, he owes me $100 already so maybe we can work a deal - PM/IM me.
Considering.
Let's assume an interest rate of 0%. If the market rate of a bitcoin doubles between now and the date of repayment, you will only have to return half of what you originally borrowed.
As such, taking this on only makes sense for someone who expects the price to go down, unless I'm missing something.

You're missing the whole point.
If someone is lent BTC, and they sell to USD, yes they're at risk to BTC/USD flux. They can lock this with a future of 3200USD at todays price, or some floating CFD.
It's his choice what he does with BTC. You can apply your derailing-off-topic crap to any loan request on here for hardware; mining equipment or anything bought in USD.
No you are missing the point. He is requesting a loan denominated in USD. If he borrows $3,400 USD he intends to repay $3,400 USD plus interest.
Today $3,400 in USD is 382 BTC but if BTC rises before maturity he will be repaying LESS BTC. mcorlett is exactly right. A USD denominated load (any USD loan) is essentially a short BTC posistion. If you think BTC will be lower at maturity this is a way to gain on that PLUS get interest. On the other hand if you believe BTC will rise by more than the interest rate you would be taking a loss.
Agreed, missed this point. Ooops.
Op does not make this clear in first post imho, but yes cleared up after in his reply. Basically he's after a loan in USD.

I am looking for a large long term loan. I need the money to pay people back that want there money back fast. I do not currently have the money to pay them back. I need a loan worth $3,400 in BTC. I will pay whoever gives me the loan back in 5 months. I need to pay them back do to a paypal problem and I wont be able to take out the fubds for 5 more months but once they let me take the funds out I will pay the loaner back the loan plus any fees you want.

A USD denominated load (any USD loan) is essentially a short BTC posistion. It also could be used by an investor as a hedge if they feel they are long too much BTC but don't want to sell assets (GBLSE stock for example). If you think BTC will be lower at maturity you get the interest plus can convert back to BTC at a better exchange rate. On the other hand if you believe BTC will rise by more than the interest rate you would be taking a loss. Really depends on what the investor is looking to accomplish.

I would owe them the USD amount I was lent. As such, taking this on only makes sense for someone who expects the price to go down, unless I'm missing something.
