Bitcoin loans are now very affordable and as ETH bubble seems to be bursting there are plenty of bitcoins available now for margin long positions.
If you believe the price will rise faster than you need to pay interest, you might want to take a small long position...?

i have a small leveraged long position but nothing fancy, just for the lulz Wink

trading the swings with leverage can be helpful especially for the smaller traders. why risk 2.5 btc if i can have the same performance for 1 btc ? depending on the individual situation this can really make a lot of sense.


The market risk is the same. If you mean exchange/counterparty risk, then it might make sense (balanced against the interest rate).

Isn't the market risk marginally worse because of the borrowed interest rate ticking away? Plus you give away more information by interacting in the lending markets.
