Have you used Coinbase’s Bitcoin-backed lending product? What’re your thoughts.

I have used it, my main criticism is that I wish the loan was not over-collateralized.

These loans are given with the hope to steal your BTC.

You think they’ll rug pull customers? While I think there are better Bitcoin platforms, I’d still trust Coinbase more than a traditional lender.

How much would you trust a traditional lender? 🧐

That’s kind of my approach, I’d rather borrow through Coinbase than a bank. Very interested to see what some of these Bitcoin-backed loans look like on other Bitcoin platforms like Strike.

I wouldn't trust any of them unless they offer doggie coin and Monero at competitive interest rates

I still wouldn't trust them then either though

😂😂😂 I don’t think doggie coin is going to be widely accepted collateral

Give it time

Then you need to consider a bitcoin denominated life insurance policy where you can take bitcoin loans collateralized 1:1 with the bitcoin cash value. Much lower interest rate as well. Only downside is that you are paying for the insurance as well.

Much lower than 5%?, seems like the variable interest rate stays around that level with the Coinbase lending product.
