Regarding Litecoin, my opinions need to be discussed in categories.

For spot holders, the approach is relatively clear. But friends trading derivatives must be extremely cautious. Truly, the saying "enter one, die one" is still a brutal reality today. Even with only 0.1x leverage, the risk is not as low as you think.

Think back to the oil futures turmoil in 2020—the price directly went negative, and investors not only lost their principal but also had to pay the exchange. If that had happened to you, you would truly understand what "the market is ruthless" means. Derivative leverage is like a double-edged sword; while it amplifies returns, the risks also grow exponentially. A sudden flash crash or liquidity drought could wipe out your account instantly.

Spot trading and derivatives are truly two different games.

Spot trading allows me to sleep well; contracts are really like gambling with the market. --- I have to admit that even 0.1x leverage is unsafe; only through personal experience do you realize it. --- I was involved during the wave of negative crude oil prices; thinking back now still gives me chills. Leverage is really no joke. --- Contracts are a double-edged sword; making money is exhilarating, but losses can wipe out your account instantly. --- For Litecoin spot trading, just relax. Those in contracts really need to stay alert, or they’ll be liquidated in seconds. --- Liquidity exhaustion leading to account zeroing out once—this isn’t just scare tactics; it can really happen. --- The saying "one death, one life" still holds true today. Trading contracts requires full concentration. --- Spot trading and contracts are two different worlds; don’t confuse their risk levels. --- No one can react in time during a flash crash; contract traders all understand that sense of despair.

Even with 0.1x leverage, you can get wiped out. I just want to know how those who went all-in on full positions are still alive now.

Can 0.1x leverage also cause a liquidation? I believe it, anyway I just trade spot and sleep peacefully. Futures contracts are really just a harvesting machine for the little guys, friends, stay away. The oil incident is still vivid in my memory; who tries knows the feeling of losing money and paying extra. Spot trading and futures are two different worlds; I choose to stay alive. Leverage is truly a double-edged sword; losses can come a hundred times faster than gains. One flash crash and your account is gone? Forget it, I think I'll just hold.
