A Lesson Every New Trader Needs 📊
Two people can correctly predict Bitcoin's direction and still have completely different outcomes.
One buys $BTC on the spot market.
Another opens a highly leveraged futures position.
Bitcoin initially moves against both before recovering.
The spot buyer may still hold the asset.
The leveraged trader might already have been liquidated.
Same market. Similar prediction. Very different risk.
That's why understanding leverage, liquidation prices and position sizing is just as important as understanding charts.
Being right about the eventual direction doesn't mean your position will survive the journey.
Sometimes protecting your capital matters more than chasing a larger return.
