for me, this is not a lot of money, as you put it, I usually deposit 1 BTC for testing the platform. It's not the first year I've been making money on trading.
Test deposit means you're perfectly fine losing the said amount in case things goes south. I understand that "small" and "huge" can be subjective in some cases but 1
BTC is still not an amount that ppl can throw away like candies especially if they worked hard for it and were presented with valid red flags.
