Building wealth through spot trading requires patience and discipline—years of consistent holding can lead to substantial gains. But here's the flip side: leverage trading can obliterate those same millions in just 72 hours. The difference between these two paths comes down to one thing: leverage multiplies both your wins and your losses exponentially.
Leverage trading isn't inherently reckless, but it demands something most traders lack—strict risk management protocols. Position sizing, stop-losses, and realistic profit targets aren't optional luxuries; they're survival tools. Without them, you're essentially gambling against the market's volatility.
The takeaway? If you're not a seasoned trader with a battle-tested risk framework, spot trading offers a far more sustainable path to wealth accumulation. Keep leverage for those who truly understand it.

To be honest, leverage is a double-edged sword; beginners who try it often end up losing everything.

In the past 72 hours, there have been countless liquidations. I've seen several people who insisted on using leverage, dreaming of getting rich overnight, only to end up losing everything...

Leverage, huh? It can bankrupt you in just 72 hours. This is no joke.

I've seen too many 72-hour liquidation nightmares. The reality is so cruel.

Leverage is truly a double-edged sword. Don't touch it without a solid risk control framework.
