WRONG -- OKex formerly OKCoin International had a massive market from 2014 through early 2017 even. Just because you weren't there doesn't mean "NOBODY was using leverage" -- also BFX was around since early 2013 WITH LEVERAGE. Narrative REKT

In 2017, almost NOBODY was using leverage to trade. Bitmex was a new idea. The equivalent of 100x leverage was flipping altcoins. It was a lot more fun, honestly. Leverage trading destroyed this market, because it made retail traders lose their money faster.
