Can I take a loan to invest in bitcoin?

[Ayers]

Wnfortunately we don't know if the current price is a bottom or there is still a chance to go up, we can say this because it has happened, but I think borrowing fiat is a good thing because the potential for bitcoin in the future is getting better, so what I want to say is borrowing money but with a long term payback period, for example 5 years or more.

Usually when you take a loan you have to start your payment nearly immediately and do so until a debt is fully repaid. So most of us would  hardly find a way of borrowing something what can be returned in five years. If there was such an option it would be very attractive for lots of things and crypto was not even in the top of them. But I don't know any place where to get such a loan. Any hints?

I don't understand what he means either, but if you take out a loan with collateral, as far as I know, the loan term can be extended up to 3 years. This means we can pay the principal one time, but in those 3 years, we have to pay interest monthly or quarterly, interest must be paid during the term of the loan and principal can be paid on the last day of the loan term. The long-term loan package has a higher interest rate than the short-term loan package. If we do not have a job or a stable source of income, borrowing is extremely risky. In general, you should not borrow money to invest, just use idle money.

Making loans to invest in crypto is not the right choice, it is highly not recommended to trade using borrowed money. You also know that crypto prices are very volatile and sometimes it goes up and down unreasonably. If you see a bullish market, and there is no cold money capital, you better let it go, don't force it. because if you are reckless it will harm yourself.

Because if you make a loan it will have a very negative psychological effect, and your financial management in the future if you experience a loss from the loan. Investing with cold money is very different from borrowed money, using cold money makes you mentally calmer than borrowed money.

In my country for taking loans at banks registered by the country being exposed to monthly interest around 2 to 6 percent per month, usually debt for vehicle loans is the highest interest, if we want to borrow money at the bank then in my opinion this is a very good thing because the potential for crypto is growing rapidly, I also plan to borrow money in the bank and I use it to renovate the house and the rest is about 25% I use for investment cryptocurrencies.

To be sincere I can't use or advice someone to use borrowed money to invest on Bitcoin. I know Bitcoin price is grow rapidly but it's not always growing sometime the price of Bitcoin reduceses. Imagine using $25k you borrow from a Fiat bank to invest on Bitcoin and the price of Bitcoin falls from $23k to $19k and the time to pay back the loan is almost near, what will you do? If you want to invest on Bitcoin you have to use your hard aimed money to invest so you won't get into Dept.

Me too, perhaps borrowing money to invest is considered one of the taboo rules I set for myself. I am willing to save, work more to save a little to have money to invest, and not impatiently borrow to invest, not only with bitcoin but with any form of venture capital. As an investment, besides the return, we should think about the risks we face, especially bitcoin, which is the most volatile and risky investment.
Honestly, I hope and believe that the future of bitcoin is very bright, but I have never been 100% sure that it will be and no one can say for sure.

But there are people who are willing to risk this and do this move so that they can earn profit, which I'm not going to say is the wrong move, but they have the will to do this and take the risk even though they know the consequences. But for myself, I would rather save or work overtime just to earn more money to save and invest in bitcoin than take a loan that, for sure, I will have a hard time paying off. Though investment always has a risk, if we don't take it, the possibilities of earning profit are zero, but the possibilities of losing your investment are also high.

Everyone has a different mindset, as long as they take the risk and have a job with a stable income, they can pay those loans even if their bitcoin investment fails, they can borrow money to invest. But I would call it stupid when they don't have a steady job and rely solely on that investment to pay off their debt or give them a rich life. It is true that if you want to succeed, you have to take risks, that's not wrong, but invest strategically, have a plan, don't gamble.

"Can I take a loan to invest in bitcoin" this question was asked by a friend

My reply to her is this:
It is generally not advisable to take out a loan to purchase Bitcoin or any other cryptocurrency. Cryptocurrency markets are highly volatile and the value of a particular coin can fluctuate greatly in a short period of time. This means that the value of the coin you purchase with a loan could drop, making it difficult to repay the loan. It is important to do your own research and make sure you understand the risks before investing in any financial product, including Bitcoin.

What is your advice?

even though your friend is a woman, I salute her intention to borrow money through a bank and invest all that money in bitcoin because not everyone wants to do something that is very risky like this. My advice is if he really wants to try investing in bitcoin, he should not use borrowed money, it's better to just sell unused items or collect money slowly, don't be greedy.

[jokers10]

Again: you should ask people who take loans, not me.

If someone is 99,99% sure, he should not take a loan.

Don't ask me how is 100% possible, ask people who take loans, because I don't!

Sorry, it was your idea. We can read some stories in the topic about what reasons were used by those who took a loan for investing in crypto, no one said they were 100% sure. And you didn't say not to take a loan unless you 100% sure, you said to take it when you are. But anyway I see that you didn't really mean what you said, so okay, we can consider this discourse over.

I don't understand what he means either, but if you take out a loan with collateral, as far as I know, the loan term can be extended up to 3 years. This means we can pay the principal one time, but in those 3 years, we have to pay interest monthly or quarterly, interest must be paid during the term of the loan and principal can be paid on the last day of the loan term. The long-term loan package has a higher interest rate than the short-term loan package. If we do not have a job or a stable source of income, borrowing is extremely risky. In general, you should not borrow money to invest, just use idle money.

Seems that not everyone in the topic realizes what a loan could mean.

I am no expert in this thing but I have take loan once and invested it and I repent for what I did.
I think there is no point in doing so - one loose twice - one is loan and the then the debt you keep paying for no reason.
so I would not take loan since I am not good in finances.

You're correct.

Loan interest is fixed, while Bitcoin price is not. So it is really not advisable to take a loan for your friend to invest in Bitcoin since the price is very unpredictable. Even if he's going to use it for trading, I don't see it a very good idea unless he has enough experience that can back up his decision which makes him confident that he can make a lot of profits out of it so that he won't have sny problem paying up his loan.

Interest rate is at the peak these days. And after the high inflation one should not take loan
Because you loose the loan amount and you pay high interest rates and cherry on the top - you loose peace of mind.

It's never advisable to invest on bitcoin with loan money, investing on bitcoin is like taking a journey that you have no idea of where it's leading to but you just take it anyway and that's the more reasons it doesn't have to be a loan money. Even if it's your own personal money it should be what you're okay to go with if it didn't go as planned .

loan is curse - stay away from it as much as you want.
If you take loan then you are under the burden of interest and it is hardest to pay off - I took loan once and decided not to do it ever in my.

Exactly.
You have no idea where it's going to take us and the same goes with the activity that you have bought it with the use loaned money. Do not take loans when you're investing in bitcoin.
Please, people that have been putting it on their minds, that's not a great idea to begin with your journeys into bitcoin investing because that's not going to work.

Simply there's no assurance because there's no such thing about sure profit or making income with crypto investment and even on Bitcoin.It wont really be giving out guarantees even if its the top coin in the market.

If you did make out some consideration on taking a loan just for you to invest with Bitcoin then its your choice but make yourself that fully aware thats not how thing goes or works.If you do have other sources on which you can rely on and you could pay the loan without needing those bitcoin profits then go ahead because if you've been depending on it then it would really be just putting you into that bad position.
Never ever consider on taking a loan for you to invest with crypto in overall, it doesnt really give out any assurances.

While us who have been long here, don't advise it. Even if we know that the future of bitcoin is great still, we don't have the future on it in our hands.
It's still a volatile market we don't know what may happen by tomorrow. And as for the people borrowing money to the banks, the interest will start ticking and you don't know if you're already in profit by the next day and much worse that you have to deal with losses.
Save money and use that for investing when you're already ready. That's a more desirable position and makes you even more prepared for any situation that you may deal with.

Absolutely should not borrow money to invest in bitcoin, it is true that bitcoin can bring good profits in the future, but no one can say for sure, the possibility that bitcoin will never recover is still possible despite that probability is very low. If you want to invest and have no capital, work hard instead of thinking about loans. It will kill you before you make a profit.

It's not just about if it will recover or not. Imagine we all believe it will: we don't know the other part of a puzzle, when will it be. It can be this year or in ten years. If someone will be so unlucky to take a loan, to repay it and then in 5 years see their assets still cost less they payed for it and then sell to cover part of the losses and then in 5 more years it will grow up fast... It will be even more painful to see that.

Multiple topics have been made with this thought in mind. The answer of the people in this forum remains the same: Whatever floats your boat. There's a good idea behind using debts to power your investments but personally, ss a small-scale investor that knows jack about how the stock market works, or crypto infustry for that matter, I wouldn't be so confident as to head in face-first into investing, let alone something that I have to repay along with the interest. I would highly suggest you adequately inform yourself first and foremost about the ins and outs of the industry before investing money, and if you reslly are decided about taking a loan and using it to invest then go for it, but make no mistake, cryptocurrencies are highly volatile and your 100 today could easily turn to 70, 60, 50, or even 40 tomorrow.

I'd ask yourself if you are considering taking a loan out because you are infatuated by the prospects of bitcoin rising in value over some short period of time that outpaces the interest accruing on your loan, or if you are taking a loan out because it is an essential component to whatever endeavor you're working on, or if this is for an immediate need.

[jokers10]

...
or if this is for an immediate need.

What immediate need can make you to take a loan for investing in bitcoin like said in the subject of a topic we discuss? So this topic is not about taking a loan for urgent purpose like for health, it is right about investing. And that's why there is a known answer: it is a bad idea by default. Even if some can get profit with such behavior model this model is not suitable for majority asking this question anyway. If you came to this topic to learn what people say about if it is good to take a loan, I'd say you shouldn't do so because you don't understand all risks and are not ready to all losses.

Any loan and for any matter always has rules that must be understood from the start or before taking a loan by everyone, and the only thing that has the most logical reason for making that loan is when someone starts to feel an urgent need for their business capital. Because apart from that, it will be very difficult for someone who takes out a loan to pay it off at a later date because a loan that is not used for capital or put back into business will not be profitable at all.

So it's not wrong if the loan is made wisely for urgent needs in an ongoing business because the business owner will not find it difficult to pay it every month because he has the benefits of a business that has been well known from the start. Because if the loan is only used to change your lifestyle by enjoying it to the end without any leftovers and without generating other, better income, it will obviously end in trouble.

Of course I suggest re-thinking the impact or losses that we will experience if the market drops, sometimes the market drops significantly and as is currently happening that the price has dropped by more than 60% compared to ATH in 2021, if we want to take a loan to invest in bitcoin then i suggest to pay in long term eg 5 years. so that we don't panic when prices drop on a daily basis as is happening now.
