โฌ๏ธ Up 43% in 7 months ($364 billion increase)

Itโs when investors borrow money from brokers to buy stocks โ basically trading with leverage ๐
More debt = more buying powerโฆ but also MORE RISK โ ๏ธ
โ Extreme leverage in traditional markets often signals FOMO & overheating
โ When stocks correct, liquidation cascades can spill into crypto
โ Crypto often leads in risk-on/risk-off shifts
๐ Bitcoin as a Hedge?
Many are turning to BTC & crypto as non-traditional, high-conviction assets outside the leveraged stock system ๐ก๏ธ
No margin calls. No broker loans. True ownership.
High margin debt = volatility ahead. Smart money is diversifying into store-of-value assets like Bitcoin & Gold.
Leverage works both ways โ it fuels rallies but amplifies crashes. In crypto, we know this well ๐
Stay safe. Manage risk. Think long-term.
