Does using bitcoin as collateral actually take it out of circulation long enough to matter?

Using bitcoin as collateral still makes me nervous. One bad market move and the lender owns your coins.
Real utility demand like that tends to act as a floor, watch how BTC holds support on any pullback if this trend keeps scaling.
Weekly buys don't need a floor to stand on.
Sounds like something i'd tweet and then delete after a 20% dip lol
The fact that people are borrowing against it for real-world needs rather than just levering up on price suggests the asset is maturing, and that kind of structural demand doesn't care about your next 20% dip.
