Convert your cash into a stablecoin, then request a loan on a platform like NEXO or BitBond.

Note that you'll get completely rekt on the interest rate though, you'll probably get better offers from lenders here, many of which can easily be trusted with $150k.

I just checked NEXO, not possible to borrow btc there and bitbond is only for businesses?

to make it clear, i want to borrow 20btc and owe someone 20 btc. if prices change either i will need to put it or get back some usd or btc. i am short on btc, i just am in need of some btc for an investment

what would be the best way to set up a loan with bitcointalk? i am shocked you recommend this, since this is quite a sum of money...
would like to have it rebalanced regularly based on the bitcoin rate. Currently 150k in stocks, but could have it in cash tomorrow but would like to keep it in stocks. i assume i could have someone else doing this investment so my usd arent just becoming worthless* but that makes all of it quite a bit harder
*this loan might be for over 5 years

no options without collateral correct? have a good creditscore, income, can proof identity

now i am thinking of buying some btc and taking a short position to limit my risk, just dont know where

here is an option (against someone else e.g. both me and another person on here thats long on bitcoin send e.g. 25k usd to an escrow, if bitcoin reaches 4000 first i get 50000, if bitcoin reaches 6000 first the other party gets the 50000 usd) and from time to time make more deals like this...

or somewhere else, issue is that i dont want to pay taxes, and these options always seems to bring me to sites like bitfinex etc. i already lost 80k usd there when their coins got stolen and i sold my bfx tokens, dont feel like touching them again

I am not sure if you have heard of google. It is this website that lets you search the internet based on keywords.

I searched "borrow against bitcoin" and the first three non-ad results were:
https://saltlending.com/
https://coinloan.io/
https://lendabit.com/

I have not done any kind of due diligence on any of the above companies. You will need to research any company you decide to use before entrusting them with your money.

I am also still confused why you would not just use USD, or even DAI to purchase your investment.

i googled and cant find anything
i dont want to borrow against bitcoin, i want to borrow bitcoin against usd. which isnt common
