Does Higher Leverage Really Mean More Profit? Understand Leverage Risks and Avoid Liquidation!

In BTC futures trading, many people think the higher the leverage, the faster they can make money. If 10x isn't enough, they use 20x; if 20x isn't enough, they use 50x. But many overlook one fact: leverage amplifies not only potential gains but also losses, making the account more likely to approach its liquidation price.

So, what does high leverage actually mean?

First, leverage changes capital efficiency, not market direction. Whether you use 5x or 20x leverage, it won't change whether BTC rises

🔍 How Can You Verify a Web3 Project’s Key Permissions? Don’t Just Take the Project Team’s Word for It

In the previous article, we discussed an important distinction:

Private keys determine who can authorize transactions, while smart contract rules affect the conditions those transactions must meet.

But understanding this distinction is only the first step.

The next, more practical question is:

If a project tells you its assets are secure, its contracts are transparent, and its permissions are controllable, where should you go to verify these claims? And what should you check?

Three locations, a killing spree, and 8 lives gone just like that—what kind of lunatic is this!
In Afyonkarahisar Province, Turkey, an armed attack spanned three locations, leaving 8 dead and 1 seriously injured; the governor’s office statement laid out the figures clearly
The suspect was arrested by police in neighboring Eskişehir Province, meaning the person fled after the killings and was only caught after a cross-province manhunt
What’s infuriating is that the motive still hasn’t been disclosed. Eight people are dead, and not a word about why. Hearing “a judicial investigation is underway”

I never expected to lose this much. I’m gradually making my money back, and I hope I can recover all my losses by New Year’s Day. If I do, I’ll post a 100u red envelope in the Plaza to give back to everyone. I hope you’ll all wish me luck. Thank you all

Damn, trading really is brutal.
Even with a win rate above 80%, after dozens or hundreds of consecutive wins and all the profits you've built up, one moment of getting carried away, one decision to hold a losing position, one emotional trade can wipe it all out.
I just saw the data for this strategy: over 7 days, the blogger's own account appeared profitable, while copy traders collectively lost 270k U.
Behind the illusion of a high win rate are lopsided risk-reward ratios, holding losing positions, and oversized bets—one big loss wipes out countless small wins. How many people have endured co

What Is Statistical Arbitrage? How Can Historical Relationships Between Assets Reveal Trading Opportunities, and Why Might Historical Correlations Suddenly Break Down?

In cryptocurrency markets, some assets have long shown similar price movements. When their historical relationship temporarily diverges, traders may try to exploit the deviation. This is the basic idea behind statistical arbitrage, but historical patterns are no guarantee of future repetition.

First, what is statistical arbitrage?

The Fear and Greed Index is only 28. Can KORUB be bought on the dip amid this broad market decline? Yes, a small long position can be tried, but only as a rebound play—not as a reversal to hold.
Market sentiment is in the “fear” zone. BTC weakness has driven a broad selloff in altcoins, with $KORUB plunging 25.42% in 24 hours, significantly more than SOL’s 6.05% and HUMA’s 15.71%, making it a typical high-beta catch-up decliner. Technically, the price at 7.16 has fallen below MA20=7.709, leaving the medium-term structure bearish; however, MA5=6.82 is starting to turn up, the MACD histogram ha

What Is Triangular Arbitrage? How Can You Find Opportunities Using Price Relationships Among Three Trading Pairs, and Why Can Trading Fees Turn Theoretical Profits Into Losses?

In the cryptocurrency market, price relationships between different trading pairs on the same exchange can sometimes briefly become misaligned. Triangular arbitrage takes advantage of this discrepancy by completing three consecutive trades to exchange assets, with the aim of ending up with more of the starting asset. But spotting a price gap does not necessarily mean you can make a profit.

🧭 Day Two Summary: Building Your Own Web3 Risk Assessment Framework—from Understanding Mechanisms to Taking Action

Over the past six articles, we started with a specific question: Why might digital assets be restricted?

We then discussed step by step how to verify information using a blockchain explorer, understand blacklist and whitelist mechanisms in contracts, determine why a transaction failed, analyze administrator privileges and upgradeable contracts, and identify what ordinary users should check before taking on-chain actions.

Today, we bring these insights together.
