The siren song of leverage on $BTC

My biggest screw-up with $BTC was in late 2021, chasing those parabolic moves with excessive leverage. Every dip felt like an opportunity to add, and I kept moving my stop further down, convinced it was just a shakeout. Ended up blowing a significant chunk of capital when the real correction hit. Lesson: leverage amplifies both gains and idiocy; sticking to predefined risk is paramount, not an option.
