I've seen so many posts about bitmex and margin trading so I dived in and learned all about it. I figured I could double my btc in minutes rather than waiting weeks for an altcoin to pump! I promised myself I would be extremely careful with it and not make stupid greed trades.

After 2 days, I lost 0.3btc. I had 0.7Btc left. Not the end.

I deposit 0.3 more btc. After 1 day, I lose half of it. Then, i manage to go from about 0.15 to 0.6 btc in like 2 days. I got super excited and confident. I could beat the market!

The same day, I go all in with one trade. I wait for a small pump to confirm that a pump will happen indeed. The small pump happens, I go all in. The next second, a crazy flash dump happens.

0.1 left. I transfer my last 0.4 from binance to Bitmex. This was 2 days ago

Guess what happened next?

In 2017, I had 150k in crypto. After the market crash, I was left with 1 bitcoin. 1 bitcoin that i held for 2 years. 2 years gone in about 2 weeks.

I cannot imagine how many people will lose their savings when binance opens up margin trading. So many people already do in Bitmex alone.

What hurts is not losing my portfolio. What hurts is knowing I will probably miss the crypto bull market while I work in a shitty job and try to make it all back.

I lost everything margin trading on Poloniex right before everything pumped before. Had I just held onto what I had I would have been a millionaire but I lost it all in one margin trade.
I was depressed for about a year and just did nothing but smoke weed heavily all day but eventually my motivation came back back and I have recovered and learned from my mistakes.

Now I'm back heavy on the adderall working from home making around 10-15k per month and putting it all into crypto like before.

I'm sure they dump the price of BTC just to hunt one of their many thousands of customers who's gambling with the massive amount of 0.3 BTC, just to liquidate him solely.... This shit is worse than flat earthers, my god.

>>	Anonymous Thu Jun 13 20:53:16 2019 No.14135685 >>14135667 Are you retarded? Look at the btc chart. It's just massive green/red candles surrounded by tiny sideways movement. They examine long/shorts and then liquidate in the direction that will make them the most money

>>	Anonymous Thu Jun 13 20:55:16 2019 No.14135713 made this mistake on primexbt. Luckily $600 was all i had but i learned my fucking lesson. i gotta work a shitty job too because im too afraid to sell my tangible investments. So youre not alone.
