"Worst case? You lose money. Can't go below zero."
This is cope.
You can absolutely go below zero in crypto:
• Leveraged positions liquidate past your collateral
• Protocol exploits drain your wallet while you sleep
• Tax implications hit harder than your losses
• Opportunity cost of dead capital in a rug
• Mental capital burned chasing losses
The real floor isn't $0. It's the compounding damage to your portfolio, your time, and your conviction.
Risk management isn't optional. It's the only edge that matters long-term.
