That feeling of liquidity drying up in the order book again is back these past couple of days—limit orders are so thin they’re basically like paper, and slippage blows up with the slightest touch. To put it plainly: don’t rush to buy the dip in times like this. First, keep your account safe—don’t max out your position, don’t stubbornly hold on to margin, leave some breathing room in your collateral ratio, keep the liquidation line farther away, reduce exposure whenever you can, and don’t wait for the system to cut you for you.
The community is still arguing about whether privacy coins and coin mixing truly count as crossing compliance red lines, and I think it’s pretty split too… On second thought, it’s kind of ridiculous. Everyone talks about freedom—but the moment risk controls tighten, it’s your own funds that get stuck first and foremost.
Anyway, my approach is pretty old-school: prioritize cash flow—once you can sleep at night, then we’ll talk. There’s always a chance to buy the dip; if you blow up a position, there won’t be a next time.
