- CamperBob2 13y agoYou can't loan someone bitcoins Someone should probably start working on that.
- simlevesque 13y agoYou can do it using Ripple with trust lines.
- VLM 13y ago"You can't loan someone bitcoins and if you could, how would you get them back?" Why do you say that? MPEx has been doing that for 3 years. As for how you get "them" back that is pretty obvious. How long would a margin call take with a digital currency, like 2 ms or something?
- tlrobinson 13y agoOf course you can loan Bitcoin, why wouldn't you be able to?
- fragmede 13y agoIf I loan you US dollars, how do I get them back?
- JanezStupar 13y agoThat is why I am asking about a potential hedge trade. A long bet on an asset that is inversely correlated to the Bitcoin.
