Shorting $RIVER, ending in a "bismal victory"🔚

That day at the dinner table, I boasted and even placed an order publicly, everyone was watching, and as a result, it shot up that very night. The cost of this show-off was indeed outrageous.

The account shows over 400% profit, sounds impressive, but the actual realized profit is only 100%. What about the other 300%? It was all eaten up by funding fees. The recent market fluctuations, swinging up and down every second, have been testing my mindset. In the end, I had to raise the white flag — $RIVER won, I lost.

Honestly, there haven't been many decent opportunities in the market lately. Mainstream coins might bounce a bit, but it's not easy. As for those small tokens, rather than holding on and waiting for a rebound, it's better to seize the opportunity and run, run as far as possible. Don't treat some fundamentally weak assets as treasures to hold onto.

This period of trading has given me a lot of insights, and I have many new ideas I want to organize. Next time, if there's a chance, let's have a good chat about these market stories.

Funding fee eats up 300%, this is outrageous; the cost of showing off at the dinner table is too high.

Funding fees are truly the hidden killer; it looks great on the books, but makes you cry when it hits your hands.

Bragging at the dinner table is truly a killer, directly crucifying oneself, haha. Funding fees eat up 300% bite by bite, this is the real butcher, more ruthless than the market. Holding onto small coins is really a gambling mentality; catch and run, that's exactly right.

Boasting at the dinner table leads to huge losses; funding fees are really the killer.

Hmm, the funding fee really eats people up without leaving any bones The cost of showing off at the dinner table is pretty harsh, I feel you Can't tell if it's a win or a loss, just damn exhausting Those small coins, really don't touch them, it's the old trick of harvesting leeks one by one Wait until you've sorted out your thoughts and then talk, for now just lie flat and observe

Dining table culture is harmful; if you're too quick to speak, you'll get shot. Funding fees are really ruthless; you can make 400% but end up with only 100%, it's better not to play at all. Small coins are just a trap; their fundamentals are all fake, and they just run away when things go south. This wave has truly educated the market; I need to adjust my mindset. The market swings so much that I have no patience left; it feels like there aren't many opportunities lately. Next time after I organize my experience, we'll open a voice chat to discuss. You also learned a tough lesson from this.
