Pretty close, I'm guessing there are peer to peer lending platforms but typically you do it through a smart contract where assets are pooled together. So when you put your 10 BTC in the lending pool, you can only borrow up to ~80% of that value. If the price of BTC goes down, your BTC gets liquidated if it gets to within 5% of your borrow amount
