How do you do that? With what do you pay back the loan? With a new one?
counter-party risk + collateralize risk is still risk.
1. You are risking a larger amount of bitcoin with a counter-party so that you have wider margins; flash crashes do exist.
2. If you don't have fiat inflows you cannot settle your debts and you end up paying in bitcoin anyways, potentially at a lower price + interest.
Presenting this as a catch-all solution might be dangerous, different situations call for different solutions.
