Don't remind me again today

December 1, 2025, Short Position day 57, account funds 2294379u.



I usually don't like to give specific advice. After all, it's someone else's money; if I'm right, everyone is happy, but if I'm wrong, they might lose money and blame me—who can be 100% sure in trading? But as a long-time follower, you often come to comment, so I can't help but say a few more words: Did you get out during that wave at 9.3? The opportunity was only given once, and I've been thinking about you these past couple of days. How have you been? Even if you didn't get out, you shouldn't have lost much on the spot bought at the bottom, right?

And those brothers and sisters who are trapped in contracts. Sometimes I want to give some advice, but it's really hard to speak up. You've already lost, and you want to earn it back? There are no foolproof strategies in this game, just sometimes the odds are a bit better. At this point, suggesting that you hedge to break free or increase your position for a gamble, I really can't bring myself to say it—what if I'm wrong and it goes to zero? But letting you cut losses and stop out so much, it's also painful to cut, who wants to do that?

So don't ask me what to do now, I don't know what to do either.

My strategy is very simple: I only enter when there is a particularly good and safe opportunity. I have already thought through my entry and exit in advance, so I never encounter the kind of dilemma you all face.

I hope everyone gets better.

Sigh, just continue to enjoy the platform's subsidies, there's not much else to say.

Don't ask me if I will enter or when I will enter—it's been made clear in previous posts, if I can flip, I will. I am just waiting for the bear bottom. There are only one or two very certain and safe opportunities in a year, and it is only in such situations that I might take a bite. My basic goal: I would be very satisfied with a 20% return in a year. I will wait for good opportunities to enter at the bear bottom and aim for larger gains; if there are no opportunities, I will see if I can make 20% through short-term trades in a year.

Here's my thinking on fund management: Normally, the money earned in the crypto space should stay in the crypto space, and living expenses should rely on the interest. Keep expenses within the interest, except for special circumstances. What do you all think? I think it's quite sufficient.

Making money is hard, but keeping it is even harder. Slow down, take it even slower.

Certainty and safety first, profit second. Learn from old Ba, think in years, and never take risks. If you can't help it, just go to zero.

Steady as an old dog.

Waiting for the short position for 57 days, how much patience does this require? I can't do it. 226 words say "I don't know what to do", this operation is a bit extreme. Is a 20% annualized return enough? How stable must this target be? I guess I'm overthinking. For those who didn’t exit during the 9.3 wave, looking at the numbers now must be quite painful, right? Opportunities with such certainty are indeed hard to come by, but when they arrive, you can really make big money. Earning money in the crypto world and putting it back into the crypto world for interest, this mindset is indeed clearer than most people's. Steady as an old dog, it's easy to say, but it's important to keep your mindset from exploding when putting it into practice. Deducting living expenses from interest, this system is really well constructed. When the bear market bottom arrives, don't hesitate again. After waiting so long, you must be decisive. This gentleman probably sees through things more clearly than most.

Holding a Short Position for 57 days and still getting subsidies, this mindset is really steady. Looking at your "entering at the bear bottom and being satisfied with 20%" logic, it's indeed not something most people can hold on to. But speaking of which, doesn't it feel uncomfortable to have 2.24 million sitting idle, haha? In this day and age, wanting to be as steady as an old dog has become a minority; most are still in contracts going through cycles of life and death. It fits your persona.

Still waiting after 57 days of being in a Short Position? I believe it, this is the silence before rebirth. --- 225w lying still, this mindset is really incredible... those waiting for the bottom have all become the ones who buy the dip. --- "Safety first, profit second", easy to say, but are you really waiting for the opportunity, brother? --- Are you satisfied with 20% in a year? This perspective is quite limiting... but it is indeed more reliable than most people's greedy way of living. --- The problem is, where is the bottom in a bear market? Who knows, while you're waiting, others have already gotten out of positions. --- How many trapped people can this article heal... at least it can stabilize the mindset. --- Living off Interest, not touching the principal, that's the correct posture, I envy it. --- Is being in a Short Position torturous? I can't help it, I always want to buy the dip. --- Waiting for one or two certain opportunities... easy to say, but when the time comes, will you dare to go all in? --- It feels a bit like old Baba's style, but the cycles in the crypto world are so fast, a year doesn't yield much. --- The term "steady as an old dog" is perfectly used, it’s just that the profits come slowly.
