Just so you are aware, the downsides of borrowing fiat against Bitcoin are:

a) It’s back to KYC fiat banking, and NOT a circular economy

b) Bitcoin becomes more volatile, as everyone is long on leverage

c) The volatility makes it harder to price goods/services in sats. And forces pricing in USD

What about borrowing Fiat to buy Bitcoin?

As long as you self-custody, smart.

that's what this is. using the bitcoin as collateral, to borrow fiat. it's a synthetic buy.

you're saying like buy bitcoin on margin with an equity type broker / futures?

or literally bank borrow and go buy it?

I understood it as: "Get a loan from your bank and buy BTC."

Literally borrow from bank and buy

That's your decision, more related to price and investing. It's certainly better than the alternatives like strike which are BTC->fiat spend

I'm trying to encourage people to not use fiat for everyday purchases, which is what these types of things become

He's turned into a right banker

He always was has been.

You had me at KYC

Debt is servitude. Anyone encouraging you to take on debt is encouraging your slavery.

Smells like blockfi and Celsius again

d) You lose your Bitcoin

Just sell it P2P and keep your freedom.
