Uprise lost 99% of client funds while shorting LUNA

  1. Interesting. Even though these geniuses got everything right, going short when it was time to short, etc. They even STILL managed to fuck that one right up by being too-greedy and over-leveraged themselves into margin calls.

    No one believes in even the smallest dead-kitty bounce anymore?

    To get liquidated, while shorting a company that is on an obvious downward implosion to 0, really takes a SPECIAL type of trading skill.

    Risk management is not just for small guys. Timing is everything whether long or short.

    It takes greedy amateur position sizing skills.

    That has to be the only reason why they position sized so large. They bet the whole farm and lost.

    They probably blew up on that spike that went from <1$ to >7$ I think, only to get sold off and drop even more soon after.

    No it's dumb money chasing after dumb non-existent money. If tomorrow, All the computer in the world get wiped out or the backbone internet structure buried deep down on the ocean floor malfunction or worse explodes, there would be no more crypto's, no more bitcoins or Ethereum or whatever. None of that would ever exist!!

    Well, that would also apply to stocks, bonds and futures as well.
     
  10. Lots of dumb things are done with US dollars too. Crypto isn't special in this way.
