I agree that margin trading on Cryptocurrencies is extremely risky and not fully understood by the majority of people doing it. I am very anxious to see what will happen in the long term since so many people hopped on the bandwagon in the past 2 months and I believe a quite large portion of them went into credit card debt to do it. I have been telling people I know personally that I thought Coinbase allowing the use of credit cards to purchase was asinine, and I am curious to see what will happen.

Capitol One is now blocking all coinbase transactions, and Chase is now running them as cash advances, so the credit card companies are aware. I think there may be a large amount of CC defaults due to cryptocurrency "investors" realizing they are in over their heads in the coming months.
