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.
