Cryptocurrency loans emerged as an increasingly viable alternative to borrowing loans. What do you think about the cryptocurrency lending business?

Lending, if it is not concessional, is in itself very risky. Cryptocurrency lending is doubly risky, as the risk of high price volatility of cryptocurrency is added to the usual risks. Before taking a loan in a cryptocurrency, you need to carefully calculate everything and, first of all, you need to anticipate subsequent changes in the cryptocurrency market. I would refrain from getting a loan in cryptocurrency. This is a lottery - here you can win and almost equally lose.
If we borrow 0.01BTC with an interest of 0.001BTC I would return 0.011BTC. Don't look at the dollar value, that will only break your heart if the value of Bitcoin goes down. Your goal as a lender is to increase the number of Bitcoins you are holding and as a borrower, you are obliged to return the Bitcoin that you borrowed with interest regardless of the dollar value.
