It is always much risky when you choose to invest a money that comes from a loan, especially that crypto market is volatile.
You should invest your own money even if you said that the market is bullish. At least the profit is only for you and you have no other expenses or debt from other things.
It is much worth it if you make profit with your own money, as it will not make you worry paying your loaned money.

I don't know how you got to the idea of taking out a loan and investing, but I think it's a pretty wrong idea. You will be more comfortable if you invest money that you do not need, that you will not be afraid of losing, you will not be sad even if you lose. Trying to earn money with the bank's money makes you panic and make wrong decisions. because you have to increase that money. because it's money you borrowed money. I do not recommend investing by borrowing money.

Consider these things first;1. Can you repay the loan?
2. Dont depend on crypto earnings on repaying a loan
3. Can you accept the interest and pay it on time?
4. Dont anticipate that you would be gaining money with the market or some sort of assurance.
Regarding about the question if its worth then it does depend on circumstances.
All of the things you have mentioned? I guess he can.
Here's why:
Hi Rengga Jati i am selling an acis miner that i have and some expensive hearing aids that i also have, Plus my job offers extra income as well. i feel covered.
I think taking a loan to invest in a highly volatile asset won't be that bad as long as you guarantee a profit by not selling when the whole crypto market bleeds red.
Some people are taking up loans to accumulate more coins while It's still in the correction or consolidation period.
As long they're able to cover the loan in their own pocket not relying the repayment from the investment's ROI.

I am absolutely against this idea. Investing with a loan is very risky and not something I can do at all. You should not take a loan and take this risk. likewise, I oppose those who sell their houses and cars and make investments. After the house / car is sold, no investment is made. A car or house is purchased with the money earned after the investment is made. If you are going to take out a loan and invest, this means you do not have enough capital. So don't risk yourself with money that isn't yours.

Personally, I will never take loans or even suggest others to take loans for crypto or buying Bitcoin at this stage. This is so risky. We can consider the risks carefully, the worst risk that we may get is about losing all our money and also should pay for the loans and its interests. Hopefully you are not in FOMO that makes you want to take loans for buying some BTC. If you are really ready for the loans, it means that you really ready with the risk and also you must also have your own backup plans if you are losing, what you will do to pay the loans

So i decided to take a 5000 dollar loan out at celsius wallet instead of 15000, it just works better for me 15000 was being a little too ambitious i think now in hindsight i am comfortable with 5000 instead. Yes its for 1 year at 1 percent so the interest will be very mininmal at 50 dollars for the entire year which works out to about 4, 70 a month and thats fine by me. Celsius has a clause were you dont have to wait until your contract is up to pay the principal back you can pay it earlier if you want to. Should things go south drastically i do have emergency back up funds to bail me out so thats pretty good too. All in all i feel pretty good about this transaction but now what left for me to decide is where to invest this 5000. i have a few coins i am thinking about and i decided against going all in on bitcoin. the coins iam looking at are ethereum, ada, and chainlink. i thought about going all in on ethereum to regain the full ethereum coin i had but sold earlier this year or spliting it up amongst the three, what do you guys think i should do thanks

I am looking to increase my bitcoin holdings and i am looking at taking a crypto backed loan with one of the leading platforms? i would be fine to take this loan out a few months ago but at this stage of the bull run how risky would it be ,i know a loan can be risky to begin with, but am i just playing with fire or is there a good chance it will pay off? it would be a 15000 dollar loan a 50% ltv for more information, thanks
Yes, that would be really foolish. Don't take loans to make risky investment. Remember the golden rule? Invest only what you can afford to lose. Can you afford to lose the loans you have taken? How will you be able to repay it? And the price has already gone up. It's currently stable between $54,000 to $58,000. Even if it goes higher, I doubt its going to jump much. So, the risk is not worth taking. But if you really want to risk it, then go ahead. But make sure you have a backup plan.

for now I don't know about crypto-supported loans and how the agreement and payment process procedures are, I don't understand about loans supported by crypto. At this point, what I have in mind is that the payment process will be more expensive if the bitcoin price goes up and the installments will go down if bitcoin also decreases, sorry if my opinion is wrong.
I suggest borrowing is better at a government bank because government banks have licenses and we are safer from fraud.

It is better not to rush to take loans when the market is bullish because there will be a high risk of loans to be paid, it is highly recommended to take loans in stable coins because they are not tied to market conditions.

When you take a loan with cryptocurrency, not stable coin, you have double risk of liquidation
- Risk of the cryptocurrency you use to make your loan (as a collateral). Its value can be decreased that cause your margin trade will be more easily to be liquidated
- Risk of the cryptocurrency you are in trades will decrease.
- In worst case, you will have double decreases from your collateral and the coin in opened positions
- Make sure you don't use more than 10% of your capital for loan, and margin trades
- Read Differences Between the New Isolated Margin Mode and Cross Margin Mode, then choose one type that fits your need and your risk management
This is on point and also I don't know how these loans work, are they fixed terms or can you return the loan earlier? Otherwise there is also liquidity risk if you are sitting on the loan that you would like to return earlier because you can afford it but you can't because of agreed upon fixed return terms. Flexibility in returning the loan is one condition I would want to have included in the loan contract.

If you buy bitcoin this will be fulish other coins give much better roi for this bull market
May 12, 2021, 01:33:22 PM
Will the loan have interest or will it increase when you payed it past due? If yes to the both then I would suggest that you shouldn't be taking out loans because the prices are really on a limbo right now to consider doing a loan to get more bitcoin, maybe if it is your money there will be no problem and always remember that loans aren't your friend, they were loaned to you for a reason.
I want to know what do you borrow Bitcoin for while the crypto market is bullish? If you want to make more money, there are many ways. When borrowing you must clearly understand:_ You have to pay interest regularly every month.
_ When the Bitcoin market drops you still have to pay the exact amount you borrowed initially.
_ You will have trouble paying the loan overdue.

the question is where do you what to take a loan here in forum? For sure no one will accept your application unless if you show some poof how you can pay it. If it's not here then as is its very risky to do because bitcoin right now is so unpredictable and not really safe to enter especially if you don't know how to handle the situation.. If i were you educate your self first and don't be greedy because of the results nowadays.. Wherein always be smart and make sure once you enter again in it you can avoid the common issue why mostly newbie always give up especially because of being lacks of knowledge .remember that mate.

In my opinion, you should not borrow cryptocurrency while the price increases like this. First you need to identify a few problems:1. If you borrow at this time, interest rates will be high. So when do you pay off your debt? When you take a risk, you still accept it without regrets.
2. More importantly if you borrow Bitcoin in the meantime. If the benefits outweigh the possible risks, it's up to you to decide.

I don’t think getting loans to cryptocurrency is the best option right now. I would say, it is not an option and I hope that you find alternatives.I have sets of friends that have been suffering from their existing loans because of the poor decisions they had before. Imagine loaning Bitcoin amounting to around $500 during the bear market? Now look at them, they find it really hard to bring back what they borrowed as the Bitcoin went up crazily.
Bitcoin today is expected to rise up until the fourth quarter of the year. So taking loans on this period of time is not a very good idea.

Depends on how much you can risk on or on how you would able to handle it out.If you do able to repay those interest without relying into those bitcoin earnings then i think it should be finebut if you are relying into those profits for you to repay then i would say that its already a bad idea which you shouldnt consider to proceed on but actually this is your choice
because you are the ones will really be paying off those loan but if you do look that you are in doubts then better not to take a loan but rather save up instead before making investment.

In my humble opinion, loans in general are not a very good thing, and if we talk about such a highly risky market as the cryptocurrency market, even more so! It's one thing when you risk your own "free" money, that's okay, but when you borrow money at interest (these are already risks), then you take on two risks at once. I think this is a dangerous tactic and more often than not, this does not end well. Therefore, I would not recommend doing this.
May 12, 2021, 11:42:20 AM
Personally, I wouldn't go the distance to take out a loan in cryptocurrency, especially in crypto's current state wherein it is experiencing unprecedented gains for a year now. There has to be an end to this current term, and no one knows if it occurs tomorrow, the next day, or even next decade. If you really are interested in loans to increase your crypto portfolio, perhaps taking out fiat to buy crypto is the way to go. No additional mix-ups, just flat out borrowing fiat without any complicated computations along the way. Then again, loans of this type is too risky to even consider, so think a lot of times before pursuing this plan.
