A trader is really ruthless, holding a Bitcoin short position for a full two months and finally making a furious $12.5 million profit. Even more astonishing, they earned $9.6 million just from funding fees. They also hold a $3.5 million BTCB position—this trading approach is arguably the coldest bandit sniper of the year.

During Christmas days, the market was supposed to heat up, but Bitcoin completely refused to cooperate. BTC was like nailed between $85,000 and $90,000, neither wanting to rise nor fall, grinding investors' expectations to nothing. Everyone was calling for a year-end rebound, but it just refused to move—this stalemate is making everyone's heart feel suffocated.

The truly terrifying part is hidden beneath the surface. The entire market is like a stretched string, ready to snap at any moment. Once Bitcoin surges past $91,584, the short liquidation bomb will instantly explode, causing $1.897 billion in positions to be violently liquidated. Conversely, if it falls below $83,214, the longs won't survive either, with $1.618 billion in longs being wiped out.

The current situation is like walking a tightrope at high altitude, with whales calmly collecting rent and lying back to earn, while traders risking bloodshed on the edge of liquidation. When will this standoff break? No one can say for sure.

This guy has shorted 12.5 million in two months, with interest fees alone reaching 9.6 million, it's incredible... This is why I hate this market. --- Pinning at 85,000-90,000, who the hell calls for a rebound will get hit. --- With such dense liquidation lines, it feels like it could collapse at any moment, and sleep quality is dropping sharply. --- 1.8 billion shorts liquidated vs. over 1.6 billion longs bloodbath, it all depends on who BTC wants to trap today. --- This trader's tactics are indeed cold-blooded, but from another perspective, he's the hungriest shark in the market. --- I can't understand this kind of market, might as well lie down and earn funding fees, really. --- Is 91,584 the dead line? Break it and there will be a wave of liquidations? --- I'm already fed up with walking the high wire in the market.

Damn, 9.6 million funds gained for free? This guy is a true wolf, turning the market into an ATM for two months. BTC's behavior is so stagnant that I want to smash the screen, just waiting for the liquidation line to explode. 18.97 billion in short positions waiting to hit 91584, 16.18 billion in longs waiting to die, honestly, this is gambling. Whales are playing with humans, and us retail investors are just eating some leftovers. Should this guy take on apprentices? Hahaha. Only brave warriors still dare to add leverage now. I'm really scared. Funds can be earned for free, why can't we think of that? Over ten million USD just lying around earning passively, and I'm still watching the charts and candlesticks. Once the liquidation line is triggered, someone will get liquidated again. That's how the crypto world is—some celebrate while others go bankrupt. Betting on the liquidation line is really outrageous, but it does make money.

Damn, relying on funding fees to make 9.6 million for free? This guy is really ruthless, I need to learn from him. Bro, this round of short positions is no joke; two months of patience that most people can't handle. BTC looks like this, trying to push up but just can't break through, so annoying. With liquidation lines so tight, who dares to take over... Whales collecting rent, retail investors getting manipulated, the eternal story. Looking at these numbers gives me a headache, when will the market finally show some signs of improvement? I really envy those traders who can precisely hit their targets; I'm just bad at it. It would be great if this round of operations could be truly replicated, but unfortunately, it's all just luck-based gambling. Funding fees are insanely profitable, no wonder everyone wants to be a market maker. Dancing on the wire, one slip and it's all lost, but people still keep going forward.

This guy has made 12.5 million in two months by shorting, and I just want to know how he's so calm about it. If it were me, I would have closed the position long ago. White gains of 9.6 million? That's real passive income. We're just retail investors still studying candlestick charts. The range between 8.5K and 9K is really nerve-wracking. Bitcoin really seems to be deliberately blocking the air. The 1.897 billion short liquidation bomb hanging overhead feels pretty uncomfortable. The liquidation line is clearly a casino; anyone who dares to stand on the wrong side gets harvested. Whales are all collecting rent, and we're still guessing whether prices will go up or down. This situation is truly absurd. No, how can this guy still hold a 3.5 million BTCB position? Is he planning a reverse move? Walking a tightrope in a high-altitude market is a perfect description. Just waiting for it to snap one day. No one can really predict when the breakout will happen. It feels like entering now is just gambling with luck. This operation is arguably the most outrageous of the year. I've truly opened my eyes.

This guy made 12.5 million in short positions in just two months, with only 9.6 million in funding fees... I need to reflect on what I've been doing these past six months. --- $1.897 billion hanging overhead, one line could cause a liquidation? This market is really a gamble for survival. --- Whales are lying back and collecting rent, while we retail investors are still debating whether to buy the dip. Laughable. --- BTC has been stuck between 85,000 and 90,000 for so long, saying it doesn't want to go up or down... I think it's just precisely harvesting the little guys. --- This guy's mental toughness is incredible. He’s been holding short positions for two months; if it were me, I’d have lost touch with the market already. --- Once 91,584 breaks, $1.897 billion will explode instantly... Honestly, that’s a bit intimidating. --- The funding fee only earned 9.6 million, which is true passive income. We who rely on technical analysis really need to reflect. --- The metaphor of walking a tightrope at high altitude is perfect. Entering the market now is like a casino scene.
