Borrowing against the assets you've put in. Hoping the value of your collateral doesn't dip below liquidation levels. I know snippets about it just by reading trading stories. I dig your basic principles on going long vs short. Thank you.

Humm. I'm so torn. On one hand, I'm not much of a gambler, I've read lots of articles that say "just buy and HODL, don't be stupid" and I have a pretty good understanding when I don't understand something. All that combined leads me to not venture into those waters.

But then I read this article by kevinnag58 and I recognize that might be an act of risk aversion.

Not recommended for the faint of heart

That very well could be me. That said, knowledge is always useful. Thank you.
