Does anyone have experience taking loan against their bitcoin?
I found Unchained provides this, as well as SALT Lending, Sovryn Zero, Figure, and probably others.
I know it’s not Bitcoin standard but seems like a good way for people who need to buy things in fiat, better than selling (and paying taxes).
Has anyone used any of these services?
If you need cash the cheapest place to ask for a loan is your everyday bank. I've a friend who got a loan a couple of weeks ago, 5,58% for 72 months. No collateral needed.
If you can't get a loan and need to use your BTC as collateral, there are some options:
My piece of advice, have at least 4 times the collateral needed.

Fiat crap
I'm not very well informed on the subject, but I think "Lend of Hodl-hodl" is the most appropriate option to do some of this, taking into account that you never lose custody of your BTC.
And on the other hand, taking into account that you must over-collateralize your loan, I think it's simply better to use your BTC to buy, or you make an exchange and that's it, in the end bitcoin is our "savings" and our "money" should be used both to save and to spend.
Those are total horse shit.
You are goinv back to fiat not forward.
Remember why we are here:
By taking a fiat loan you are not a bitcoiner anymore.
Agree. I haven’t said I was gonna take a loan, just curious of what the options are and what actual experience of people who did it were (rather than what I can read on their marketing websites)
These guys seems to have a pretty low APR (never used though): https://nexo.com/borrow
Use it as collateral to buy more Bitcoin (not financial advice)
To save @DarthCoin time, I'll add his comment here:
"Do not touch fiat otherwise you are tainted forever"
LOL nexo is a fucking SCAM!
YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!
use bitcoin & live on bitcoin, or take loans & pay taxes (fiat slavery).
