What happens if after immediately getting his $5k BTC I buy a sweet rig for $15K BTC and the price of bitcoin drops to $4k?

I guess I can’t spend the collateral in the first place?

This can happen on the stock market too. When bitcoin drops to around $5k, you get margin called and bitcoin will get sold on the open market.
