The danger of "High Leverage" for beginners
Ever felt the thrill of imagining huge crypto gains with just a small investment? Most people see "high leverage" as the fast track to riches, but it's actually one of the quickest ways to wipe out your entire portfolio. 😱
Imagine borrowing money to buy 10 pizzas when you only have enough for 1. If pizza prices go up, huge profit!
That’s like leverage: it lets you trade with more capital than you actually own, magnifying potential profits.
So, 10x leverage means a 1% price move feels like 10% on your money.
The conflict? Beginners often jump straight to really high leverage like 50x or 100x, thinking they've found a shortcut to massive wealth. ✨
But here’s the painful truth: that amazing profit multiplication works both ways.
A tiny dip means a huge loss. With super high leverage, even a small market wiggle can instantly "liquidate" you, losing all your invested money.
It’s like losing all your pizza money if prices just shift a little! We chase big numbers, but the lesson is that safeguarding capital is key.
Start small, understand risk, and always use stop-loss orders to protect your crypto. 🍕
