You don’t wait for things to happen—you make them happen. Where others fear the dip at worst, and muscle through it at best, you profit from them. You thrive in chaos and embrace the volatility. You don’t Hold On to anything bad. Life is meant to be **lived fast**—and so is your portfolio. You aren’t here to watch the grass grow. You’re here for the **next moonshot**. They who only go long miss out on the true opportunities in the market. The Diamond Hands might never lose, but in the end, **you know who’s exiting with the bigger stack.** On DegenPrime, you borrow from the Diamond Hands—the very ones who think they’re playing it smart—and put that money to real use. You’ll leverage, trade, LP, and play the market like it's supposed to be played: At high stakes. Sure, at times you might lose or get liquidated, but when you win, you win big. ## What's a DegenAccount on DegenPrime? Degening on DegenPrime means borrowing other people's assets for your own gain. As a borrower you manage a full cross-margin portfolio of borrowed assets (and your collateral), to interact with the Base ecosystem. You pay a variable interest rate to lenders (the Diamond Hands), but that's all you're paying. Any profit made from their assets is yours to keep. You can go leveraged long on your favorite memecoins, or go short on those destined for failure. The borrowing power varies per asset, and your account health shows how close you are to liquidation (more about [liquidations ](/degenprime/security/liquidations.md)here). Those assets that you keep in your account, whether memecoins / AI tokens or stables, can be used to LP to Aerodrome and Virtuals. Any interest you make on that? All yours.

Here, we go big or we go home. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://degenprime.gitbook.io/degenprime/protocol/double-ds/degenerates.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
