Do you actually use leverage, or avoid it completely?

Been curious about this lately because it feels like people either love leverage or completely stay away from it.

Some traders treat it like a normal tool for short term setups, while others see it as the fastest way to blow an account.

Do you know anyone who started using leverage too early and regretted it?

At the same time, I can see why experienced traders use it carefully, especially now that platforms like BTCC and others make leveraged trading much more accessible than before.

Curious where people here stand, do you actively use leverage, keep it low, or avoid it entirely?
