Crypto bears are going to be making my doordash deliveries in their Mercedes for a while after this week's price action

[u/Simke11 → u/VariatCA]

Fun fact, most of them didn't actually short shit, so they didn't make any money on being bears. They either cried, panic sold, or most likely both.

[u/VariatCA → u/Simke11]

Definitely a lot of investor-roleplaying Buttcoiners out there who love the talk but never take the walk. In that dogpile though, there are a few I could name that have absolutely lost their shirt on the BTC-short side of their portfolios, including one guy who's been shorting it since 18k back in late 2022.

[u/Simke11 → u/VariatCA]

Oh yeah, if they did short most of them would have done it at the bottom
