People who short always like to guess the top, constantly poking upwards, trying to catch that highest point. But guess what? They can never reach it.

Even if they somehow manage to guess the top correctly, the result is often like that PIP token next door—not a sharp crash, but a slow, grinding decline. This kind of price action is the most torturous, slowly eroding the short sellers’ funding rates, while giving the longs plenty of time to escape.

There’s a delusional idea circulating in the market right now: the endgame for altcoins is zero, so just blindly short and it’s a done deal. This mindset has become a kind of collective illusion. Do you think the whales don’t know this? Their scythes have long been aimed at the juicy profits of the shorts.

Why are shorts the easiest to squeeze? Because they never set stop losses. They’re convinced that the price will drop to zero, so they keep adding to their positions, pushing their average entry price higher and higher. Longs, on the other hand, take profits bit by bit, always thinking about when to cash out. When the price dips, they take partial profits, almost like picking up free money.

For coins like LUNC, the deeper the obsession of the shorts, the more comfortable life gets for the longs. That’s just how the market works—simple and brutal.
