Could you elaborate on the concept of cryptocurrency values going negative? Is it theoretically possible for a digital asset's price to dip below zero? Wouldn't this violate the fundamental principles of market economics, where a good or service is always assigned a positive value? How would this scenario even arise, considering that the lowest a cryptocurrency could go is zero, representing a complete loss of investment? Are there any precedents or scenarios where this has occurred or been speculated to occur? What implications would a negative cryptocurrency value have on the market and investors?

Futures contracts, on the other hand, lock in a price for a future transaction, exposing traders to market fluctuations and potential losses if the market does not move as expected.

To mitigate these risks, wise investors often employ strategies such as stop losses. Stop losses are predetermined limits that automatically close a trade if the market moves against the trader's position by a specified amount.
