Seeing this wave of decline, it's truly incredible. The technical analysis is as standard as it gets. But the problem is, why do I always encounter such perfect coins when shorting? Instead, when going long, I just happen to buy at the high point. No wonder experienced traders say that sometimes shorting altcoins can be profitable; I’ve gained a deep understanding of this now.



My second pancake hurt me, and even the altcoins bullied me, so I might as well stop playing. With the New Year approaching, rather than continuing to lose in the crypto world, it’s better to go eat, drink, and have fun—those expenses are really nothing in comparison. If I keep trading, I’ll only lose more and more.

Honestly, after experiencing more, these fluctuations have become minor. But last night, I suddenly realized that if you can't hold on, you won't get rich—this phrase sounds especially harsh now. The biggest regret is not shorting back— that move could have turned the situation around directly, but I missed it. Sometimes, the opportunity is right in front of you; what’s missing is just a decision and execution.

Haha, I really missed out this time. I could see clearly but just couldn't execute. Missed that counter move, I have to admit, I'm impressed with myself.

Haha, this is the curse of the crypto world—when you go long, you step on the knife's edge, and when you try to go short, you get cold feet.

From the perspective of Token economics, this is a typical case of information asymmetry leading to game failure—according to relevant sections of the white paper, there is an inherent structural mismatch in the incentive mechanisms of both the short and long sides. It is worth noting that the "buying at the high point" phenomenon you encounter can actually be explained using the MEV theory discussed by Vitalik—the opportunity is indeed right in front of you, but the vulnerability of the execution layer determines who ultimately makes the profit. What should be reflected upon in this operation is not regret over not reversing the position, but the issue of the time cost of governance decisions.

Haha, this is the crypto world. Going long at the high points, and when going short, the perfect trend doesn't appear—it's ridiculous. I'm the same way. Even when I clearly see the technicals, my hands just can't react in time, and I get so frustrated I want to smash the keyboard. The New Year is definitely a good time to rest. Don't get cut again—go eat and drink to restore your mindset. Wait, you said you regret not shorting at the end? Bro, sometimes that thought is even more painful than the money lost.

Really, I knew it was over the moment I hit the high point; the technicals looked perfect but I was looking in the wrong direction... But on the other hand, sometimes the opportunity is right in front of you, it's just a matter of being too nervous.
