In this episode of Milk Road Macro, we sit down with Benn Eifert, fund manager and derivatives expert, to uncover the truth behind retail trading, leverage blowups, perpetual futures, and the myth of “democratized finance.” From meme-stock mania to zero-day options and 100x leverage, this is a deep dive into how modern markets really work and who’s profiting when you get liquidated.
