I have known long - short since 2018 and have been following the market for a few seasons... one could say I have some experience in the field... as the younger ones often say, I have experience... But based on my personal experience, I haven't profited much from the AI + Meme waves because I don't dare to play them as they are too risky and fast to keep up with. Many people have made big profits from these two trends, mostly newcomers who are quick to react... while the experienced ones have failed... As for going long > short, based on my own assessment, I believe it's a definite loss... I don't see any growth potential in 2025... that's why I've been shorting since the beginning of the year... as you know, in April I made a bit, but in May shorting led to losses... The market now is different from 4-5 years ago... it can't be predicted anymore because BTC can be manipulated... so I think it's time to discard old experiences and find a new direction to survive... By the way, I've managed to avoid losses quite a bit since the beginning of the month by not shorting... today I'm trying to short again based on my 10 years of experience to see if the market really has changed... My capital is 1000$ .
