It’s definitely risky b/c you’re basically loaning out your bitcoin and trusting that the parties won’t default - blockfi hasn’t had issues to date but cannot guarantee you’ll get your bitcoin back incase of any problems. I thought about it too because of the high interest rates but just not as risk tolerant to make the action
