The screen glowed at 3 AM, my heart thumping against my ribs. ADA was pumping, everyone on Twitter was making a fortune. I had $600, a pittance, but enough to try 30x leverage. My finger hovered, then slammed "BUY." Green. So much green. My PnL ticked up $5, $10, $20. I actually pictured quitting my job. Then it paused. A tiny dip. "Just a retest," I convinced myself. The dip became a slide. My PnL bled red. Margin call flashed. My mind raced, but my fingers froze. Liquidation. $600. Gone. In minutes. The silence after was deafening, the pit in my stomach immense. That was my violent introduction to futures.

What was your first unforgettable leverage experience?
