Can someone explain me what leverage means? If I understand correctly it means the following
>you have 1000$, the stock is 100$ and the leverage is 1:10
>for 1000$ you can buy 100 stocks (1000$ x 100$ * 1/10 )
If a stock goes up by 1$ you will get 10$ becouse you "own" 100 stocks and it works the other way around.
Amirite biz?

Except you'll never get 1:10 leverage with stocks.
SEC won't allow that shit.
Futures and Forex, yes.

Is literally borrowing money. The broker lends you some money, 1:9, would be 9 times the amount you have. You could open a position with 10, (9 + 1), times your initial capital.
You can only lose as much as you initially had. If the price drops 10 % you lose everything.

It's actually more than that, though. Technically it's only leverage if you're getting more in returns than what you pay in interest.

>getting more in returns
Having a dividend payer can help, as it will cover a percentage of the margin interest.

How does this work for bitcoin?
Who lends you the money/coin? The exchange?

Depends on the exchange. Usually the from other users through the exchange. User have an option to give their money for borrowing and make interest.

dont play with leverage unless you have a large inventory of cash.. you need to have a safe liquidation price, so you dont get REK'd
