Leverage is where many crypto accounts are wiped out, and the mechanism is liquidation. Understanding it is essential before going anywhere near margin or futures.
How liquidation happens
When you trade with borrowed funds (leverage), the exchange requires collateral. If the price moves against your position far enough, your collateral can no longer cover the loss, and the position is force-closed — liquidated — often locking in a total loss of the margin.
Why it is so dangerous
High leverage means a small adverse move can liquidate you, and cascading liquidations can accelerate market crashes. Many beginners underestimate how quickly it happens. The safest approach to leverage for most people is to avoid it. This is education, not advice.
