Liquidation in simple words

You have 1000 USDТ and at the Bitcoin rate of 100,000 you open a long position with a leverage of x5.

How to calculate the liquidation price?
Very simple - divide the Bitcoin rate at which you opened the position by your leverage, that is x5. It comes out 100,000 divided by 5 and we get 20,000. This is the maximum allowable loss of your position.

And when we subtract the opening position rate from the maximum losses, we get a liquidation price of 80,000.

Where does your deposit money go?
First of all, it goes to pay rewards to those investors who lent you money for leverage. It also goes to pay the commission and cover losses.

I hope I explained it clearly, if you have questions - write in the comments.

Yeah, he’s accumulated so much that it's the number 1 asset in his portfolio.

The Duo Theory: Are Finney and Sassaman Satoshi? 👥

The new documentary "Finding Satoshi" flips the script: the creators claim that behind the Nakamoto pseudonym were two people.

According to their take, Hal Finney was the "brain" of the code, while Len Sassaman was the "voice" of the project, handling ideology and messaging.

The passing of both candidates explains why 1.1 million BTC have been sitting stagnant since 2011.

Missed opportunity of $2.5 billion 📉

FTX liquidators made an epic blunder: they offloaded a stake in Anysphere (the devs behind the AI editor Cursor) for just $200,000.

Back in 2022, the Alameda fund grabbed 5% of the startup, but during the bankruptcy, they dumped the package at entry price.

Today, with Cursor valued at $50 billion, that stake could've netted creditors an insane $2.5 billion.
