Some even go as far as getting loans , borrowing from friends so they could trade, or invest in some altcoins..
I do condemn the act of borrowing funds to trade, because trading is all about risk and you need to take adequate measures when you're trading knowing that risk of trading is not measurable, you can lost out what you borrowed within short time you trade, for me it's better you used your earned money to trade so that when you lose it will not have much effect on you
The same apply to other things like sports betting, gambling and all of them.
gambling is totally different from trading, because the chances of you loss very well in gambling is 100% available, because its not a skill, why in trading you can recover it, and you can equally amend the you lose in trading, but what I can't encourage you to do when you're not active trader is not to lend, because trading or gambling, the risks involved in them is too expensive, ensure that in trading whatever you are using to trade you can afford lose it.
