The downside? If you are on the wrong side of the bet you will lose money 100x faster. So if you spent $429,000 at 100x leverage, you are essenstially buying $42M worth of Bitcoin. At a purchase price of $31,000/bitcoin, a drop in price of $310/bitcoin would completely wipe you out and your position would be liquidated. In short, at 100x leverage, a price drop of 1% would wipe out your money.
