Bitcoin?

it really depends on what currency you have, what are your options?

I need to loan Bitcoins because I will need them in the future, not now. So since I have some bitcoins right now, I want to change it into the currency that I can use as a collateral.

Altcoins are a common collateral on this forum. Pretty much any altcoins will do. I suppose local currencies would be atequette collateral, but if the person you are lending has fiat they should just purchase the Bitcoins themself.

1. How can I get altcoins and altcoin wallet?
2. What is a fiat?

He said he would like to lend money outside the forum. Since cryptocurrencies are unknown to people outside the forum, I think the only valid collateral would be physical collateral, like electronics, jewelry or artwork, but there is always a risk that the other part call the police and say that you stole the stuff from him, and get back the collateral he gives

altcoins can be laundered out easily, i guess lenders can scam this way.
actual loan doesn't require collateral or 100%(no more, no less) value of collateral.

You'll need to elaborate some more, maybe if you could tell us what currency you are getting and what do you have your self maybe it would help

Thank you everyone for your help. I thought altcoin was a name of a currency, but like its name, it's alt coins, coins used as alts. That cleared things up. Thank you everyone for everything! :D
