Here the author of the topic has some confusion in terms. 1x leverage is margin trading, that is, trading using borrowed funds from the trading platform. And you can be liquidated both long and short if you don't use a stop loss. If you use a stop loss, there will be no liquidation.

Future and perpetual future trading re not the same as margin trading. The leverage in margin trading is derived from borrow funds, but that is not how margin trading works.

If we mean buying perpetual Bitcoin futures without leverage, then there is no liquidation, but in the long term such assets gradually degrade in price, no matter in which direction they open due to constant rebalancing.

There is no such thing. If you are trading perpetual future, you have to use leverage.

Thank you all for responding, from what I understand with no leverage I could be liquidated if I short the market but not if I long

Yes you are correct. But you are not getting it correctly. If you use 1x, you still use leverage. Even some exchanges can let you go 0.5x which is still leverage. Example is if you have $100 to trade and go short with 0.5x, that means the position will be opened with $50.
