🔥 How to Borrow Against Your Crypto (Without Getting Rekt)

Forget selling — smart traders borrow against their BTC and ETH to unlock liquidity while keeping upside exposure. But is it really that easy?

  • 💸 No selling = no taxes = win-win.

  • 🧱 Most loans are over-collateralized (we’re talking 150–200%).

  • 🚫 No credit checks, instant approvals — DeFi and CeFi alike.

  • ⚠️ But liquidation risk is real, especially in volatile markets.

  • 🧠 Use it right, and it’s alpha. Use it wrong, and it’s rekt city.
