That's cool, I always wonder how as an individual I can benefit from such products. Any easy calculator to understand? o far I mainly lend to get the APY from Morpho

There’s a loan calculator on our site lava.xyz 

We don’t currently allow users to lend dollars (just borrow), but we will be adding that functionality soon!

Lots of reasons! In most jurisdictions, borrowing against BTC is not a taxable event. So a lot of people prefer that to selling. 

Also a good way to fund major purchases if you believe BTC will go up over time and don’t want to give up on your upside.

Ah great! Thanks for sharing. As a consumer, do you know the reason why people would borrow against btc? Is it mainly a cheaper way to acquire more btc?
