Could you please clarify for me, if the value of my cryptocurrency holdings goes negative, am I obligated to pay back any amount that falls below zero? I'm curious about the potential financial implications and responsibilities that come with investing in this volatile market. Additionally, are there any safeguards or protections in place to prevent investors from facing unexpected financial burdens in such scenarios? Do you owe money if your crypto goes negative?
