I believe it's a wrong move allocating once Bitcoin as collateral for some loan amount, I consider it a weak thinking and should be avoided. This forum is one platform that is able by some members to give out loans, yet we've never or I personally haven't witnessed a situation where Bitcoin not just any asset is being given as per collateral even the person issuing the loaned amount never asks for Bitcoin as collateral. Now let's imagine given Bitcoin as a collateral which the sent amount will be equivalent to dollar value of the Bitcoin, that means If by any circumstances unable to meet up the loan return then the lender is left by no option than to take the collateral (Bitcoin), if the lender understands the value of Bitcoin and decides to hold, in few or more period he might be getting X2 of what was sent as collateral.
First let’s start with the question how can someone be in debt and still has bitcoin in his wallet, the possible answers to this is the fact the person actually invested into bitcoin without fulfilling some basic requirements which I personally think is a very wrong idea. My first cateria is the funds set aside to invest into bitcoin must be an amount the investors can make do away with for a very long term this clearly shows that borrowed funds isn’t even acceptable as an investor. Secondly the investors most also have extra funds set aside for emergency.
All this isn’t a requirement but I personally viewed it the with this one Can easily be patient in holding. Imagine having lots of bitcoin and then still be in a heavy debt which is due. If I ever find investors like this my advice is for them to taken a hit and then liquidate some of their holdings to pay off the debt. The choice of even using it as collateral is not welcome with me because holding to it means you’re still at the verge of losing it all why not just pay off the debt and then hold the rest or start accumulating gradually again. Bitcoin is here to actually better the financial system of the world through decentralization and many more features lacking in fiat but many people treat it as though it shouldn’t be spent even when it is for a very important purpose which is a bad habit to me. Long term holding is what we all advice but when it is only bitcoin that can save you out from some difficulties then it is best you make use of it
