Crypto vs Share Traders: The Percentage Olympics
Crypto Trader: Bitcoin is up 5% today!
Share Trader: Nice. My stock is up 2%.
Crypto Trader: Only 2%? That’s not a move. That’s a notification.
Share Trader: At least I’m not checking my phone every 30 seconds.
Crypto Trader: I’m not checking it. I’m monitoring the market.
Share Trader: You’ve checked it 47 times.
Crypto Trader: That’s called risk management.
Share Trader: What leverage are you using?
Crypto Trader: Just 20x.
Share Trader: “Just”?
Crypto Trader: I wanted to be responsible, so I didn’t use 50x.
Share Trader: My broker gives me a 2% dividend.
Crypto Trader: My futures position gives me a 2% funding fee.
Share Trader: That sounds terrible.
Crypto Trader: It’s not terrible. It’s a subscription to stress.
Share Trader: What happens if Bitcoin drops 5%?
Crypto Trader: I become a long-term investor.
Share Trader: And if it drops 10%?
Crypto Trader: I become a motivational speaker.
Share Trader: And if it drops 20%?
Crypto Trader: I start trading shares.
Share Trader: Finally, some financial education.
Crypto Trader: Don’t get comfortable. I’m already looking at 100x.
Share Trader: Please put the phone down.
Crypto Trader: I can’t. The market is moving.
Share Trader: It’s 3 a.m.
Crypto Trader: Exactly. Prime trading hours.
