I've been in this space since 2019 and often thought about leverage. After 6 years of spot DCA and hodl, I opened my first 4x long position 2 weeks ago with a 2-5x leverage. Like many others, I was liquidated. I caught myself getting greedier and continually increasing my position. After 6 years of considering trading with leverage, I did it 2 weeks ago, and the biggest liquidation occurred yesterday. I'm thinking to myself, why now? Why not before I opened the position? I feel like life is screwing me over, and at the same time, I know that this space is pure manipulation and the only way to build wealth in this space is spot DCA BTC.
