Leverage is a financial instrument that allows traders to amplify their trading position size using borrowed funds, controlling assets of greater value with a smaller initial capital. In cryptocurrency trading, leverage is typically expressed as a multiplier (ranging from 2x to as high as 125x), representing how much larger a position a trader can control beyond their actual funds, simultaneously magnifying both potential profits and risks.
Degen
A Degen (short for Degenerate) refers to a market participant in the cryptocurrency space who engages in high-risk speculative behaviors, typically seeking short-term massive profits by allocating substantial capital to unproven projects, leveraged trading, or emerging tokens while often disregarding fundamental analysis and risk management principles. This group is characterized by chasing market trends, participating in early-stage projects, and accepting extreme volatility.
