Mark Moss explores what triggers a margin call on Bitcoin trades, how lenders set loan-to-value thresholds around 80-90%, and whether they give you days or months to fix it before liquidating your position.
The third thing is margin calls. So everyone's afraid of margin calls. What happens if Bitcoin is volatile, it goes down and I owe this much money and then they're going to have a margin call. So I want to understand what happens in the event of a margin call. I want to understand at what levels do we hit the margin call? Some of them might let you go as high as 90%, 80 to 90% LTV before you get a margin call. Do they give me a curing period? Do they give me days or weeks or months to cure that or do they instantly liquidate me?
