This is exactly why I never over-leverage on lending platforms. Seen this movie too many times – one price feed glitch and suddenly you’re liquidated before you can even react. That $27M hit probably hurt some folks pretty bad.
With perps I can at least set stops and manage my position tighter. Yeah, liquidations still happen on perps but you’re not at the mercy of oracle failures killing your collateral value instantly. Just gotta respect the leverage and not get greedy.
