A Reddit r/Bitcoin poster replayed a 12-month BTC-backed loan on hourly BTC prices starting every day since 1 Jan 2014, with 50% starting LTV, a 70% margin call with 48 hours to top up and liquidation at 80%. The post reports that 41 of 100 start days ended with the coins sold by the lender, and that at 20% starting LTV 4 of 100 one-year loans were still liquidated. It also states that 56 of 100 margin calls came at night or on a weekend (Central European Time), and that raising the liquidation LTV to 90% or allowing 72 hours to top up changed almost nothing.
