Watching this guy keep adding to his position up to 300 million, I was just thinking—how tight is the liquidation price set? A slight rebound and you're eating a mouthful of shit. If only I had known earlier, I was just as confident back then.

statistically speaking, we've seen this exact pattern before... 2017, 2021, now. the moment someone's position gets THIS large, history starts rhyming real hard. $304M shorts waiting to get squeezed is basically textbook capitulation setup.

This guy is really a high roller, 6x in 6 days? Why don't I have this luck? --- A short position of 300 million... I'm really not afraid of a big bullish candle blowing it up. --- The way he takes profits in batches is truly professional, way above my all-in approach. --- Looking at this position and the BTC rally, how strong must this big investor's mental resilience be? --- Daring to short the current market with 300 million, you're either a warrior or a lunatic, no middle ground. --- From 3 million to 18.5 million, that's the gap between me and the big players haha. --- Waiting to see how he closes his position at 83k, it seems it still has to go up. --- If I had this courage, I would be financially free long ago, but unfortunately I only dare to trade a few thousand dollars. --- This take profit setup... so meticulous, it shows they really understand the market.
