We have people who borrowed in order to place pre-orders whose loans are now falling due.

Well that was dumb.

We probably also have people who were counting on income from their ASICs...

And that's just plain stupid.

Unless you know what you're getting into, borrowing money to fund a highly risky endeavor is foolhardy.

It ought to be obvious, but I'll go go ahead and restate the first rule of investing anyway for everyone here:

"Never risk what you cannot afford to lose."
