The 1000PEPE short positions in the square are still quite sufficient. Some people are fantasizing about a market crash, unaware that there are over 20 million in the air force waiting to be liquidated in the opposite direction. The market maker doesn't need to invest much capital; it's enough to force all these short sellers out. Even more aggressive is making profits directly from paying funding rates. Instead of pondering the price predictions of altcoins, it's better to understand these hidden costs. With so many shorts being eaten up, why be greedy and bet on a decline? When you carefully calculate this, it's really not worth it.

There are so many shorts being wiped out, I really can't understand why people still insist on shorting. Shorting PEPE is like gambling against the house with your funds, it's just asking for death. The funding rate slowly erodes the money, and when a reverse liquidation happens in an instant, who dares to take that risk? Those around me who have bet their entire wealth on bearish positions are now being played for fools, it's not worth it. Instead of guessing the market, it's better to calculate how much you can lose; that's the real thing to focus on.

Relying on fee rate tricks, I've seen it all before. Short sellers really dare to bet. --- 20 million short positions waiting for liquidation? The market maker's tactics are truly brilliant. --- Instead of predicting the price, it's better to calculate how much you could lose. --- That's why I don't touch contracts — too many hidden bloodsucking tricks. --- Fee rates are the real harvesters, more ruthless than price fluctuations. --- People betting on a decline, all their energy is spent watching the K-line, not seeing the hunters behind. --- Laughable, thinking you can beat the market maker in a gamble? Overthinking it. --- Having more shorts is actually an opportunity; I really respect this logic. --- It's better to keep an eye on these hidden costs; otherwise, you're just giving away money for nothing. --- Contracts are truly the market maker's ATM, with fee rates and liquidations happening together.

Ah, here comes the story of cutting leeks again, with the 20 million short-sellers waiting for liquidation? Why does it feel like this rhetoric changes its tune every day? No matter what, it's still the market makers creating a narrative of "the trend is over," causing retail investors to give up shorting... Truly ruthless. Funding rates are indeed a hidden bleeding wound, but why does this article sound like it's advising people not to oppose the market makers? It's quite absurd.

Oh no, this is the trick. The more short positions there are, the more the market makers get excited. --- 20 million short positions are waiting to be liquidated. I laughed. --- Funding rates are the real vampires. --- It reminds me of the brothers who got liquidated last time due to reverse trading. --- That's right, many people gamble on falling prices until they go bankrupt. --- Seeing so many shorts, I actually want to buy the dip. --- Market makers don't need to do anything; they just sit back and collect fees. --- This analysis is thorough, but the key is that most people can't understand it. --- No matter how many shorts there are, they can't escape the fate of being eaten.
