Hey SN Community,

Yes, always. Every transaction in history has two sides: a buyer and a seller. If there was noone on the other side, there would be no transaction, whether it's literal bushels of corn, Bitcoin or derivative contracts.

Now, who the other side is varies. If you're trading on an exchange directly, it's other traders like you. If you're trading via a broker, it's your broker (who then relays the order to the exchange).

Now, what price you can get is a different story. Even in extreme markets there are contrarians who have a different view. When LUNA was crashing down last year, guess what, it rebounded 10x within a couple months so whoever was buing at the bottom made a profit off an otherwise dead shitcoin.

Or it could be any number of reasons why someone needs an opposite position to yours right this moment.

The market is comprised of people with widly differing needs, views and time horizons, which is why there's always activity.

All good!

If your channel gets force closed, you should be able to find your sats in your on-chain wallet after a day or two..

Actually yes, when you use leverage, you are using fake Bitcoin and it does not exist.

Just catching up

Bitcoin volatility can be frightening to some users that already have to escape hyperinflation with their own currency.

USDP allow them to dodge volatility for their daily expenses and that's just one of the arguments.

Futures trading using DLC allow users to have lore control on their funds while getting rid of the counterparty risk and the need to trust someone with your funds..

If this is shitcoining to some, fair enough, keep stacking sats in self-custody and leave the rest of the world do what they want with their bitcoins, as long as they own their keys

Man, you really are Darthcoin Jr. But you're actually a little more classy in a way. Nonetheless, why do you have to be so mean to people all the time? Have you even actually ever researched what futures/derivatives are? Do you know how it works? Because it seems like you never have and you just see it as something that goes against the narrative you believe in so you just insult and shun. Maybe you should at least educate yourself and learn and eventually, if necessary, adapt to become a smarter and better individual. You're literally coming off like a toddler who doesn't want to hear what the other person is saying because you're convinced they're wrong and you're right. Maybe you'll finally get it that Bitcoin isn't king when it crashes and becomes virtually worthless. I wonder if all you bitcoin maxi's will still be screaming "1 sat = 1 sat" when 1000000 sats = $0 USD

Just want to clarify one thing. When i correct you (like i did) it is not to educate you personally. I mean it would be great but it is more about other readers. So, nothing personal. Stay dumb, whenever you decide to get out of your shithole we are here to help ❤️
