Don't remind me again today

People always ask me: why not short? ETH has fallen so much from its high, isn't shorting just making money while lying down?



To be honest, I have thought about it too. Opening a short order of 100 million dollars at the 12600 position and then lying flat waiting to collect the money—sounds so great.

But I have a flaw: once I set my mind on something, I will stick to it no matter what.
I really like this circle, I super love that kind. Cryptocurrency has changed my life, so I am fundamentally bullish. Maybe in the next cycle, I can learn to juggle both, but right now? I haven't figured it out yet.

I just want to make some living expenses in the field I am good at, and I don't want to step into unfamiliar pits.

Recently, I have been reviewing the market and also getting to know myself again.
Hope everyone doesn't get influenced by those trolls - do what you're good at, we have plenty of time. Wait until the right moment to act according to your own judgment, no need to explain to anyone, and no need to prove anything.

During this period, I reopened my positions, mainly because I noticed that Grayscale and BlackRock have started to take action, plus I'm waiting for some policy-level benefits to kick in. That's why I started working again.

My main account was banned before, so I plan to go all in when it really hits the bottom for the long cycle. Right now, this small account is purely to feel the market rhythm and play around.
I know in my heart: even with just $10,000 in principal, as long as there is enough patience and not getting too emotional, you can still earn a decent return in this market.

In simple terms, trading cryptocurrencies boils down to three things: time, space, and events.
First, set the general direction for this stage, then assess the range of fluctuations for each cryptocurrency, and adjust the position allocation flexibly based on sudden events.
The reasoning is simple, but it is really hard to do.

I lost badly in the last wave, and my body is still hanging on the liquidation leaderboard of a certain exchange, hahaha it's a bit funny but also a painful lesson.

And there's a fatal point: definitely don't get carried away!
The liquidation big shots I've seen all meet the same fate - getting high. Maybe that feeling is just too exhilarating? Looking back to last August, I once gambled seven or eight million dollars worth of ETH, and now that I think about it, if I don't die, who will?

If I judged wrong, then there's nothing more to say, I deserve it!
The market is never wrong; the only thing that is wrong is ourselves.

Haha, being banned with the main account and still playing with the small account, I just want to know if this time it’s going to be another All in. Wait, can we really trust Grayscale and BlackRock moving together? I’ve heard this set of rhetoric so many times before. Not getting carried away? Bro, your All in of seventy or eighty million dollars shows that you really can’t restrain yourself. No matter how beautifully you put it, it’s still a gambler’s mentality; it just depends on whether luck will favor you. I’m rooting for you, praying that you don’t make the list again this time. Rather than waiting to hit the bottom, it’s better to reflect on how you lost like that last year. Time, space, events? Sounds simple, but in practice, it’s life-threatening. If this wave crashes again, don’t blame the market; it just means the pros who shorted made the right call.

This guy is not wrong, if you're bullish, then be bullish, don't swing around aimlessly. --- The big account being banned is unbelievable, the all-in life is really tough. --- To put it simply, it's still about mindset. I often get carried away and lose a lot. --- Grayscale and BlackRock dancing together is indeed worth following for a while. --- Stick to what you believe in, I agree with this, it's better than those who sit on the fence. --- I believe you can make ten thousand dollars, but the prerequisite is really having patience. --- Short orders are so comfortable, but those who are bullish probably have their own joys too. --- Still dare to laugh on the liquidation leaderboard, this mindset is unparalleled. --- Time, space, events, this set of reasoning is indeed logical, the difficult part is execution. --- Don't explain to others how you operate, this statement is spot on. --- When the real bottom hits and you go all in, the ones who can make money this time are probably few. --- Getting carried away is truly a terminal illness; how many pros have died because of this. --- The market is never wrong; it's our brains that are wrong. I accept this logic.

This guy is really pure, having money but not shorting, just stubbornly bullish. Fortunately, ETH didn't completely crash.

This guy does make some sense, but I don't think shorting is really that big of a deal. Throwing around 70 million dollars' worth of ETH, wow, that's really bold. To be honest, it really depends on the person; some people are just naturally inclined to take long positions, while others make a living off short positions. There's no need to prove anything. The key point is still—don't get carried away, this is truly a bloody lesson. It's definitely worth following what Grayscale and BlackRock are doing, but as for policy dividends... you know what I mean, it's just speculation. But speaking of which, I really admire that kind of dedication to sticking with one direction; it's much better than those who are all over the place.

This guy does have a point, but watching too many PI fight to the death can indeed lead to losses. Hearing about the 70-80 million in one go made my scalp tingle, I'm just lucky to be alive. Waiting for Grayscale and BlackRock this time is indeed a signal. I need to get the phrase 'don't get carried away' tattooed on me; I've seen too many Large Investors perish because of this.

Haha, I like this logic, just stubbornly sticking to it. --- In the end, making money is all about mindset, not about fancy tricks. --- What's wrong with shorting? It's not something to be ashamed of, it's just that I'm not good at it. --- I feel the same, those who have been Get Liquidated know that kind of despair. --- I'm also watching Grayscale and BlackRock, just waiting for the right moment. --- To put it bluntly, it's still necessary to wait for the right timing when your judgment is clear; blindly going All in can really lead to disaster. --- This mindset is correct, no need to prove anything to anyone, just focus on your own trading. --- That period of going All in and getting Get Liquidated was really inexplicable yet awakening. --- Sticking to familiar things is crucial; this is where Newbies are most likely to crash. --- The idea of Full Position All in to catch a big cycle, you must have a huge heart.
