You need to borrow bitcoins when the need arises. However, you need to be careful when doing the borrowing since you may end up paying back more than double the amount of bitcoins you borrowed. Of late, bitcoin prices have been fluctuating due to the fact that most people have ventured into this business. With this in mind, there is need to carefully know your limits. Borrow bitcoins when all the possible alternatives have been tried and haven't produced fruits. You know the whole idea of borrowing is not always a good practice and should always be avoided at all cost.

Just borrow money when you really on need. Like to pay some bill or for medical issue.
And before borrowing some money, you need to find a way for pay them back with interest.

If it is not so important, don't take a loan.
That's going to be thousands of dollars. Bitcoin loans are usually tied with yeah Bitcoin. Hence, if you borrowed the coins when it was $200 and you have to return today, you would be paying $180 extra with interest. Most don't do loans tied with USD or fiat. Violatility of Bitcoin makes it unsuitable for lending platforms.

That's true, for some case bitcoin is not suitable for lending platforms. That's why we better not take a loan both in BTC or fiat currencies.
And if someone take a loan from BTC, either the BTC price going up or down, they need to pay the loan money back + interest with BTC again. Never make loan with 'lock rates or price' contract. Believes me, it will make you loss. Beware of loan whale.

I've loan people on this forum before, and there had been people who just ran away. I usually keep their accounts or other accounts they have as collateral. I believe this is the most secure way to borrow and lend btc here.

I don't know how to borrow a bitcoin.

go to lending section on this forum, you should provide a purpose why you want to borrow bitcoin, and the collateral is must be equal as amount you want to borrow.

Go to the lending section and offer collateral.

IMHO, it isn't practical to borrow Bitcoin if you're going to spend it in fiat. It would be affected by the volatility. If you are buying something that is BTC in value and you can't go to exchange for more BTC, it would be more practical I guess.

when you know that there is a sporting event and you can bet on it,, and you are sure you will win

Personally I don't recommend such doings, but you cant really avoid that so before taking a loan and use that for gambling , just make sure you're not going to promise to repay if you'll earn profit with gambling. Repay with your own money from your salary Wink

When is it useful to borrow bitcoin? Considering that it is really hard to get a loan here on this forum even with escrow, and the plentiful amount of scammers floating around here, is there really a great reason to even bother getting a loan here? I mean unless you're flat broke I could understand but even still it's an uphill battle. It's way easier to take out a cash advance in an emergency. I suppose if you're dealing with a trusted borrower and trustworthy escrow you may have a chance in obtaining your funds. Other than that, it can be difficult for a scam-less transaction to take place.

Agreed with your suggestion.
Sometimes some people "really" need a loan for their business idea or for their life.
Here, they need to find trusted escrow, and give their profile or proposal transparent and publicly to all lenders.

With this methods, maybe they can find a nice lenders who want give loan with small interest in months.
Not all lenders nice about interest per month or year, some shark loan even give 15% + for 1 month.

Actually it's not help their problem, instead ut's make new big problem with loan matter.
Careful to choose your lenders.

basically when you're risking money every time, but personally i would take it only if i need money desperately to solve a problem in real life

but if you're talking about trading also, i would go with leverage yes, in that case...

Why didn't you try borrowing in a site, like BTCJam?
Your problem would be solved Cheesy Cheesy
I don't want to involve myself in that scam site.
maybe if you have some friends who use bitcoin you can borrow it. I also borrow to my friends, compared borrow in lending site.

borrowing bitcoin is when you need it for something important

but also you must have backup sources to pay your loan..think before doing something...usually gambler is not recommended to apply loan..

because borrowing bitcoin for gambling sounds not good.

I think borrowing Bitcoin have to be always the last choice, we have to try our best to earn Bitcoin with legal ways like selling goods and services, trading, investing in some trusted programs...
But if the loan is necessary we can borrow from this forum's members, offering valid collateral and using trusted escrow, so it works

It is useful if you can get a low interest rate and have a way to make more money than you are borrowing - obviously.  I don't borrow here but there are lending sites that I like to use for both borrowing and lending.  I meet people there that I trust.  One good one is LoanBase.

when I have a chance like trading, then I will do the borrowing and earn profits from trading

too risky if you still beginner level in trading(but if you an expert in trading, you will not to do a borrowing Roll Eyes), better to use your money, or if you have nothing, go work, earn bitcoin and do a trading.

someone experienced many problems in trading. I chose gambling because there we will get rich quick.
