Taking loan to invest in cryptocurrency, it's a No for me especially when the person taking the loan sees cryptocurrency as the same means of repaying back the loan he/she took. Cryptocurrency investment, as we've all said is very risky, because there are times when a particular coin experiences a long term dip, that can reduce the value of any investor's portfolio. So, by taking a loan for such investment purposes, knowing fully well that you don't have other options for payment than the supposed crypto profits, then it means someone just want to take a risk.
But it does not mean that you should not borrow for an investment, if we already have confidence that what we are doing is going well and just need to expand with a new capital loan. But indeed, for crypto investment you must really analyze it well and accurately before making an investment, if you want to be safe. Of course bitcoin is the best investment and has a small risk.
That confidence can shatter in the blink of an eye when things turn out to go the opposite way. This is crypto, and we all understand how swift the price can move (both upward and downward). I agree with you that Bitcoin is less volatile, because of how quick it is in making recovery, which still put its investors on a safer side. But at the end of the day, the person borrowing funds for crypto investment will definitely be given a period to repay the loan. And when the expected profits hasn't been realized within that deadline, then there will be some issues.
