Many people have an obsession with contracts, as if not opening 50x or 100x leverage isn't worth mentioning that they're trading contracts.

But honestly, leverage is just a number.

Let me do the math for you:
With a principal of 10,000 US dollars, if you open 100x, you only put in 100 US as margin.
If the market drops 10%, you lose 100 US. Honestly, it’s like scratching an itch—no pain, no itch.
But if you open 10x and put in 5,000 US, a 5% market shake causes 2,500 US to be gone. That cut is real pain.

Do you understand now?
Leverage itself doesn’t change; what changes is the chips you put in.
What really keeps you awake at night and causes liquidation isn’t the multiple, but the fact that you’ve pushed your entire net worth into it.
I used to be obsessed with high leverage, thinking that’s what “big bets” are.
Until I got repeatedly liquidated and woke up—
It doesn’t matter how many times you leverage up; what matters is:
Before entering a trade, ask yourself:
$ZEC
“If I’m wrong on this trade, what's the maximum loss I can accept?”
Think about this number first, then work backwards to decide how much to open and where to set your stop-loss.
Whether you end up using 10x or 100x, your loss is locked within an acceptable range.
Honestly, the people who survive in the crypto world are never those who open the highest leverage, but those who plan every trade with “I can afford to lose this much.”

Remember:
Before opening a trade, first think about how much you can lose, then consider how much you can make.
If you can’t figure out this calculation, don’t move your hands. $BTC
