 A 401k loan to tackle debt and buy a house makes alot more sense than selling bitcoin doesn't it? 
 Taking loans against your BTC will be a great option 
 Lost 3 btc to celsius doing that  
 In the future folks will lose way more during loan rug pulls…

Doesn’t mean more reputable institutions aren’t coming to do offer this, legitimately 
 True and to be fair i only had that much because I was using the loans to buy more bitcoin to no end 
 I have a friend no longer with us for a much larger rug pull that lead to him exiting this world.. I get it, but staying humble and not getting over leveraged is a vital component of this… because everyone was doing it 
 Ouch expensive life lessons. Losing it all let's you realize money ain't shit

 A few thoughts I’ve developed regarding taking loans out against a bitcoin stack:

(1) only to acquire proven, cash flowing assets / companies

(2) only assets / companies you’ll have complete governance control over - do what you want with them when you want to do it

(3) only acquire near the bottom of the bitcoin bear cycle 
 Buy bitcoin is the ultimate strategy  
 Yes 
 For tax purposes yes it makes sense, if you have big bitcoin gains and IF you are confident in your fiat cash flow to pay back the loan. 
 Word word word.
