This market move is really unbelievable—screens full of green profit screenshots just don't feel real. To be honest, I've always thought I was only good at shorting. Going long? Isn't that just giving money away? But this time, I actually made money on longs too. Maybe when the market is good, you can win even with your eyes closed.



This month alone, I've made an eightfold return, which even I find hard to believe. It was basically all thanks to shorting—when you get the direction right, it feels amazing. But I've also fallen into some traps—don't short ACE right now, I'm serious; and then there's PIPPIN, that crazy coin. I shorted it twice, had $1,500 in unrealized profit on paper, and still ended up getting stopped out at breakeven.

This coin doesn't follow any patterns at all—it's a completely different beast from other altcoins. When it comes to coins like this, my advice is: take your profit and run, don't get greedy. Sometimes, contrarian thinking works better than technical analysis. Seriously.
ACE-3.94%
PIPPIN-31.18%

You can make money with your eyes closed? The market is just that crazy when it's good, but I still can't trust those screenshots—they're just too outrageous. 8x returns? I just want to know if this is yet another night before my account gets wiped out at the end of the month. I fell for the ACE trap too. Seriously, stay away. I've heard too many horror stories about it. PIPPIN is definitely wild. I shorted it twice and still got liquidated—this coin is a master at moving in the opposite direction. It's right to take profits and run. That's exactly what I'm doing now. Don't try to squeeze out the last penny.

Eightfold gains? Why do I feel like I'm just losing money on fees this time, haha. Shitcoins are shitcoins. With stuff like PIPPIN, you really have to take profits when you can, or you'll lose everything. People who make money both shorting and longing are truly chosen ones. I'm just losing across the board. This market is so red it's scary, feels like we're just blowing bubbles. That reverse thinking comment really hit me, but unfortunately I reversed myself into bankruptcy. Seriously, stay away from ACE. After hearing what you said, I'm even more scared to touch it. $1,500 gone just like that? That's just how crypto messes with people. Blindfolded and still winning? Maybe I have to be asleep to make money. Amid all the profit screenshots, my loss screenshot is the clearest one on the screen, haha.

Hey bro, I can really relate to your experience with PIPPIN. That feeling of getting stopped out and taking a loss is just brutal. An 8x flip is seriously savage, but even though this market looks fake, the money spent is definitely real. I’ll remember the ACE short, and I’ll steer clear of PIPPIN, that shitcoin, from now on. Thanks, man. Honestly, the era of easy money is over. We need to be sharp, don’t get greedy, gotta keep that in mind. Contrarian thinking really works better than any technical analysis sometimes. Human nature can be more important than the charts.

8x gains? This market is honestly ridiculous. I’m also one of those people making money with my eyes closed, haha. Shorts are really on point, but that PIPPIN shitcoin totally screwed me over. Lost $1,500 just like that. Take profits and leave—greed is the biggest enemy. I’ve fallen for that ACE trap too, now I don’t even look at it. Contrarian thinking can really save you, way more effective than any technical analysis. Surprised that this long actually made money, usually I lose on those. I don’t believe any of those screenshots filling the feed, most are probably fake. Shorting is my thing, longs are just giving money away.

Turning 8x profit is really insane—has the era of easy money truly arrived? Shorting this wave was indeed satisfying, but I’ve also been through the PIPPIN incident; those meme coins are always a trap. When the market is good, don’t overthink—taking profits when you can is the real way to go. ACE shorts are indeed toxic, thanks for the heads-up. That reverse thinking comment was spot on; sometimes intuition beats technical analysis. An 8x comeback—bro, are you cheating or what? If you can profit from longs too, that shows real confidence; this wave is seriously wild. I’ve also encountered that PIPPIN meme coin—a bloody lesson. The phrase “take profits and run” is worth a thousand bucks; not being greedy is the ultimate truth.
