💡 Why Long Liquidations Don’t “Pump” the Price

A long isn’t actual ownership of a coin — it’s a contract with the exchange betting on the price.

When a long gets liquidated:

No real coins change hands

No new value enters the market

The “loss” just goes to the exchange’s pockets

In other words, liquidations don’t increase the total value of the coin — they just redistribute contracts and fees.

The price move you see? Often just forced selling and volatility, not real market strength.

Long story short: Your HODL isn’t magically worth more because someone else’s leveraged bet blew up — the exchange is the one collecting.
