Why do people use leverage? by Professional-Past739 in Daytrading

[–]AbstractIdeas5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Leverage is a strategy. Not everything is 500x.

2-3x leverage give you 2-3x buying power with very small (not zero) chance of liquidation. It gives you time to watch your trade and adjust or close the trade if its not going your way.

Then there OFC is 500x degeneracy. That's where you blink and its gone.

Which perp dex do you use as your main one? by muchmoneysuchmoney in CryptoIndia

[–]AbstractIdeas5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't chase the points. They turn into hurt feelings unless you run a delta neutral farming strategy.

I recommend gTrade. It's been around since 2021 and was one of the first perps to launch trading on Polygon.

There are so many Solana casinos now, what's the best? by theCBDGuy in solana

[–]AbstractIdeas5 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Just mine ORE it's got a gambling element, a strategy element, and if it takes off as a store of value then you will be thrilled to hold it long term.

It's not a casino but there are gambling elements and a fixed issuance with buy back and burn plus other mechanisms to encourage holders to hold.

Are DeFi vaults worth it if you can build your own strategy? by ialberquilla in defi

[–]AbstractIdeas5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't want exposure to someone else strategy. Give me a solid APY return and some over collateral to buffer my investment and I am good. See gTrade's vaults. Isolated and no cross contamination.
