Borrowing money to invest in Bitcoin is not a wise move at all, in fact it is one of the fastest ways to put yourself in a trap…. Bitcoin is already volatile on its own, it does not need the added pressure of a loan with interest eating into your back.. When you borrow to buy Bitcoin, you’re not only risking your Bitcoin stack, you are also risking your ability to hold through the dips.. Instead of stacking and building calmly, you will always be under pressure to pay back, and that pressure can force you to sell your coins at the worst possible time..
I think that you are not getting the point here, it's not a wrong decision entirely to invest in Bitcoin with a borrowed money, and you first of all needs to kill that notion that you will be paying back from your Bitcoin investment, no. The terms and conditions of the loan is what's going to determine if it's suited to take an invest  or not.
If you have the opportunity to take a loan of $20k  that can be paid installmentally across three years with a loan interest of 0.5% or 0.6% why not? Because to the best of my knowledge, you can easily repay back that loan from your paycheck once it comes, bit by bit for three years, and you can be rest assured that Bitcoin will always outperform any interest rate attached to the loan, so what are you saying?
So as long as you are paying it back installmentally across three years or more, and you are paying it back from another source, it's an opportunity not to miss especially if you took it and buy during the dip.
There is no doubt that we are all entitled to our own opinion. However I believe it is wrong to borrow money to invest in bitcoin when you are expecting any money to sort out the loan. Investing in bitcoin for a short or a long term is not a guarantee that our investment is going to be successful at the end so it will be wise if we invest from our discretionary income to avoid the stress and pressure that will come when we are unable to pay back the borrowed money. Borrowing money to invest in bitcoin is not a bad idea but thinking of paying installmentaly is something I don't really support , if you are expecting money from where and decide to borrow to invest in bitcoin and then pay back the borrowed when the expected income arrived then it isn't a bad idea.

I am one among those who dislike being indebted and I value my peace of mind so much, personally I will not borrow money to invest in Bitcoin with the expectation of paying back no matter how sure the plan of paying back can be I will not do such thing, I will always prefer doing things to ease my temperament at every given time, now the question is what is reason for the borrowing money to invest in Bitcoin when you have a long term plans ahead of you?  If I am expecting money trust I will wait for as long as I can to get this money before investing in Bitcoin perhaps it wasn't a matter of life and death so i will never try borrowing to invest in Bitcoin for any reason.

A lot of people don't like borrowing but then again there situation one would find himself or herself, borrowing will be a very nice and good option. Just imagine a scenario where you have several sources of income and you are expecting something very huge from there and you saw the price of Bitcoin down, as an investor with a vision to accumulate and grow your portfolio you wouldn't want to wait till what you are expecting  to arrive rather you would look for a way to get money and take advantage of the opportunity because it maybe long you will see such opportunity again and in this situation I don't see borrowing as wrong unless you don't have any source of income and you are not expecting something anytime soon.
