Today I had a meeting with a friend of mine who teaches economics at university.
He believes when the inflation rate rises that's profitable to take a loan even with high interest to buy other assets such as gold, bitcoin, and even real estate. On one side of this theory, we usually suggest people never invest money that they can't afford to lose and don't invest the money that does not belong to them for many reasons. These are golden tips and useful in any market.
But the question is what if you do not own enough money for investing? can you take a loan and invest?
Because if you look deeply into charts of inflation rates in most the countries you can easily understand taking loans even with high interests could be useful and profitable.
Personally, I don't suggest doing this because using other people's money will put me under stress and this can have negative effects on my decisions. What do you think?

I think it depends on the character of the person. If a person is willing to take risks, then you can make an attempt to take a loan. Will this risk be justified? Nobody will give guarantees.If the situation in the country soon stabilizes and this interest rate hike is temporary, then it might not be worth the risk. Unfortunately, we cannot build long-term forecasts regarding market stability and make investments at our own discretion. Probably there are people who will pay off such investments.
