Like today, the high leverage trader James Wynn just got liquidated for around $100 million. See him? This guy's gone viral because massive positions on Bitcoin like this—a 40x leverage Bitcoin. Look at his mark entry and then liquidation price at 106. Last few days, he's been arguing about how corrupt the markets are. Well, yeah, no duh. This is what hedge funds do. They look at someone else's position and they say, "How can we liquidate that guy?" And they start putting pressure, pressure, pressure. Look at this! Bang! Liquidated and back up above his liquidation spot. It's usually better to be an investor, not a trader.
