Remember that gut punch when your position just... disappeared? That's liquidation, and leverage is the sneaky villain setting the trap. Imagine you're building a tower of blocks. Your $100 is one small block at the bottom. With 10x leverage, the exchange lends you 9 more blocks to make a $1000 tower. Sounds great, right?
But here’s the catch: that 10x leverage means your $100 is now supporting a $1000 structure. If ADA drops just 10% – say, from $0.30 to $0.27 – your *entire* $100 capital is gone. Wiped out. On spot, a 10% drop means you still have $90. With leverage, that same small drop vaporizes everything. Leverage doesn't just magnify gains; it shrinks your safe zone to almost nothing, turning small market moves into total losses.
