CRYPTO EXCHANGES MAKE MORE MONEY WHEN YOU LOSE. HERE IS HOW THE SYSTEM IS BUILT AGAINST YOU ☠️

Funding Rates
When you open a leveraged position, you pay a funding rate every eight hours. Long positions pay short positions when the market is bullish. Short positions pay longs when bearish.
The exchange takes a cut of every single payment. Every eight hours. On every open position. Across millions of traders simultaneously.
They do not care if you win or lose. They are collecting fees either way.
Liquidation Engine
When your leveraged position gets liquidated, the exchange does not just close your trade. They take your remaining margin as a liquidation fee before returning anything.
The more volatile the market, the more liquidations happen. The more liquidations happen, the more the exchange collects. Volatility is not their enemy. It is their product.
Spread and Slippage
Every trade you place has a spread between the buy and sell price. On high volume pairs it is small. On lower volume pairs it is significant. That difference goes directly to the exchange on every single trade you make, win or lose.
The Uncomfortable Truth
Exchanges are not rooting for you. They are not neutral platforms. They are businesses built on transaction volume, liquidations, and fees. Your activity generates their revenue regardless of your outcome.
The house does not need you to lose. It just needs you to keep trading.
What You Can Do
Trade less. Every unnecessary trade is a fee. Use spot over leverage when possible. Understand that the platform you trust with your money has financial incentives completely separate from your success.
Knowledge does not guarantee profit. But ignorance guarantees you will keep funding someone else’s.
Not financial advice. Do your own research before making any investment decisions.
