RE: BitShares Tutorial Part 2: How To Borrow BitUSD & Buy BTS On The Rise (Short Sell)
Tutorial is very good!
I would just suggest potential users, to start with moving BTS to USD and back, when expecting BTS to fall, like you wrote in your first tutorial. It is so much safer.
Leveraged trading is very hard and it only takes one bad trade, to lose weeks and months of successful ones. To every beginner, stay away from borrowing and leverage as much as possible, or you may be sorry. Especially in crypto world, where moves are crazy without any leveraging involved.
Don't focus on as much as you can win, rather focus on what is the maximum you could lose.
Sound advice. If you do decide to borrow, be sure to back your loan with plenty of collateral as well. You're right that the volatility of crypto can make it drop so fast, you could lose most of your holdings.
Those who worry can also start with a very small amount.
