Unpopular opinion: leverage isn’t the problem. Ego is.


People don’t blow up accounts because of 10x — they blow up because they refuse to cut losses.

Indeed, I've seen too many people get the 10x full position right, but they don't exit when unrealized profit turns into unrealized loss, and eventually it goes to zero.

Ego makes you average down until there's nothing left to average 💀

Leverage is a magnifying glass, it reflects who you are.
