The market is interesting because of asymmetry. When a low-probability event is combined with leverage, the result can be amplified infinitely. This is exactly why many traders turn their fortunes around or get liquidated during extreme volatility. Many project teams and trading counterparts are well aware of this and deliberately design such asymmetry—small bets for fun, adding leverage to turn it into the ultimate gamble. This dynamic attracts many players to participate, each hoping to be the lucky one who bets correctly.

actually, let me pull up my spreadsheet real quick—the math on this doesn't hold up statistically speaking. tail risk + leverage = evolutionary dead-end, not some glamorous casino moment. data suggests otherwise about that "lucky bastard" narrative they're selling you.

Leverage is really something else—win and brag, lose and become a permanent memory.

Leverage is a double-edged sword; it feels great when you're making money, but when you lose, you're wiped out completely.

Leverage is really a double-edged sword; it allows for quick turnaround but also leads to rapid liquidation. No gambler's mentality can escape it.

Leverage is just meant to make you lose faster, really. I've seen too many people lose everything in a single extreme market move.

Leverage is just a quick way to turn dreams into nightmares
