I Thought Leverage Was Power—Until It Destroyed Everything
They don’t tell you the exchange hands you leverage like it’s a gift—until you realize it’s a tripwire disguised as opportunity.
I remember opening my first 50x position. I felt invincible. One green candle, and I was printing money. But I wasn’t trading. I was walking a tightrope the exchange had soaked in oil. The moment momentum slipped, even slightly, my balance vanished. It wasn’t a mistake. It was the blueprint. The entire system is built so you’re always one blink away from liquidation—no matter how well you chart, plan, or pray.
The exchange doesn’t need to beat you with skill. It only needs you to believe you’re in control. Then it nudges the market half a percent and watches your position implode.
I don’t chase anymore. I build. I protect. I endure.
You think leverage is a shortcut? It’s a trap door—crafted by the exchange, polished with your ambition, and waiting for your next overstep.
Ask yourself—how many liquidations will it take before you stop handing them your future?
