Shorted btc x3 for $1800 at $9800.
Will I make it?

yep

In general, what's to stop a pod of 10 or so whales from opening a 100x leverage long position on something and then pumping it themselves? To make it raise less flags they could even just have one of them open then long position and then splitting the profit afterwards.

No because shorteners always make gains at first but then get a massive loss when they guess wrong.

In the end normies who don't do shit all day and just HODL always get bigger gains in the long run

>shorting on a market that is easy to manipulate

Depends. If whales are shorting too with millions then no, you wont make it. Tether pumps will liquidate you and the whales

I don't understand. He bought bitcoin for 9800 and will sell when it hits 9800+1800?

>> No.4677561

>>4677489
fucking retards, go google it you shit.

And to educate you, shorting is selling before you actually buy:
>sell at 9800
>you now have 9800 in limbo
>buy when its lower, for example at 9000
>you now have 9800-9000=800

if you short at 9800 but the price keeps going up you will buy at a higher price than what you sold for and will end up in the negative.
