# Borrow

## Borrowing vs. Selling

**Selling** an asset involves closing the position on that particular token to free up liquid capital. If an individual is "long" on a particular asset, selling it would no longer entitle them to any potential upside on that asset's appreciation.  Furthermore, in most countries, selling a position is treated as a taxable event.

**Borrowing** enables one to obtain capital without selling the underlying asset or incurring a capital gains sales tax.
