Since no one can predict the exact timing of its moves, borrowing money to invest is almost like digging a hole for yourself.
How are you digging a hole for yourself when you are not paying back from your bitcoin investment?
Don't you understand that once your ability to pay back have nothing to do with the final outcome of your bitcoin investment, you have nothing to worry about?
Taking a loan to invest in bitcoin is not a problem as long as you have other source of repaying it back.

If so then it means you are actually proving my point without realizing it because the risk is still there. The whole idea of Bitcoin investment is long term, nobody can predict the short term moves. If you borrow money to invest, you have already created pressure on yourself because that loan has a fixed repayment time while Bitcoin does not move according to your timetable. Even if you claim to have another source of repayment, it defeats the purpose of investing because you are exposing yourself to double financial stress, managing debt and waiting for an uncertain return. That is why borrowing for Bitcoin is never ideal, it turns a long term play into a dangerous gamble.
