At this stage, if people do not understand that leverage trading is certainly not the way to go, and it is more susceptible to manipulations, then I do not know when they will actually get it. This is a decentralised space with little or no regulation at all and for leverage trading, that makes it easy for manipulations.

I see no reason why bitmex should be banned or why any leverage platform should be banned, it is a choice and there other better ways to trade than leveraging. People always want big money, but like they always say, bigger profits leads to bigger risks.
