Short excerpt from a YouTube video by Kosta Ouzas about trading crypto using USDT or Bitcoin as collateral. The speaker explains you can hold either USDT or Bitcoin as collateral to buy futures, recommends very small leverage to minimize liquidation risk, and describes a momentum-style trade example: buying long after close and selling when the price rises to capture gains.
You can use both USDT or Bitcoin. So if you like to keep everything in Bitcoin, you hold Bitcoin as a collateral. It buys futures based on this collateral. And then it has a very, very small leverage because we don't want to do anything be gen. It's actually all set up where it's not impossible, because nothing is impossible or very unlikely that you get liquidated with this approach and is waiting for opportunity like this. And he can make money when it goes up. Because you see, for example, just after we close, we bought long, right? If we went up, we will have sold that long at a certain point and made money. So that is a momentum type of trade.
