I stress-tested a Babylon TBV position at a thin Health Factor of 1.0400, exploring the best use of a $1,500 rescue budget — repay debt or add collateral
Starting point: 0.3500 BTC collateral ($23,184 @ $66,240 BTC), risk-adjusted value $18,083.52 under 78% collateral factor, against $17,388 debt.
Option A — $1,500 to debt repayment: liabilities drop to $15,888, HF rises to 1.1382.
Option B — $1,500 to collateral (+0.0226 BTC, total 0.3726 BTC): +$1,170 risk-adjusted value, HF rises to only 1.1073.
Debt repayment gives near 1:1 risk reduction per dollar. Collateral only gives ~$0.78 per dollar due to LTV haircuts. Reaching HF 1.24: repayment needs ~$2,804.52, collateral needs ~$4,458.46.
Repayment = faster HF recovery. Collateral = preserved liquidity. Depends on your priority.
Public Testnet could use an automated Rescue Calculator to simulate both paths instantly and show capital needed for HF milestones.
With $1,500 to defend a risky position — repay debt or stack collateral?
