Choosing Your Strategy

  • Long term strategy if you:

  • Believe in the long-term value of the asset

  • Have a stable income for regular payments

  • Want to build a significant crypto position over time

  • Short term strategy if you:

  • Are experienced with DeFi and watch the market for regular price movements

  • See a short-term opportunity in the market

  • Are comfortable with higher risk for potential quick gains

Risk Considerations

  • Long Play: Default risk over an extended period, potential opportunity cost

  • Short Play: Market volatility risk, potential to lose deposit if you default on your loan, timing challenges

Both strategies have their place in MortgageFi, offering users the flexibility to approach crypto asset acquisition and trading in ways that best suit their goals and risk tolerance. Users are encouraged to carefully consider their financial situation, market knowledge, and risk appetite when choosing between these strategies.
