What I see about bitcoin is its gonna bounce between 100-110k to 80-90k for a long time (at least until Trump takes over). I have an option to take a 2.8k $ loan from a bank and pay 3.4k $ in 8 months. (I'm gonna start paying it after 2 months so you may assume its 6 months). Should I get that loan and make 3x - 5x margin trades on Bitcoin with this strategy? I really appreciate your help. Take Care.
Securing a loan for trading is first of all a very bad investment. From my personal experience, 2020 when I was introduce to trading, after seeing all the opportunity in  trading after 3 months of learning I loaned money from my elder brother and promise to pay back is 3 months time. I loss all the money. And I was not able to pay back. I have to look for another means to pay back the money. Considering the emotional and psychological aspects of trading it is not advisable to take a loan for trading.
I see trading similar to gambling and all the rules that applies to gambling also applies in trading because they are both very risky practice. There is no guarantee that you will make profit when you trade, instead, the chance of losing your capital is high. So, why will you take a loan to trade, it means that you don't understand the emotional trauma that will before you when you lose all the money and don't have a means of paying back. I don't trade at all.
