Don't idolize those big players; they are no different from us in essence. The only advantage? Just having more money.

Look at the whales in the insider news—opening such heavy positions, setting the liquidation price at 2000, with such considerable unrealized profits but not closing the position, stubbornly holding into floating losses. We open contracts with 10x or 20x leverage, a slight fluctuation can cause a quick explosion. How about that?

Maybe they’ve already opened short positions elsewhere to hedge, playing with their left and right hands smoothly. The data that makes the market visible is all what they want to showcase. Honestly, they are just providing liquidity.

Instead of blindly guessing others’ positions, it’s better to focus on improving your own chart-reading skills. Learning to analyze independently is the right path.

That's correct, the amount of funds is fundamental, and the strategies are entirely different systems. However, I think we should flip the perspective—it's precisely because they have a lot of money that they can hedge and diversify risks. Isn't that the essential difference? Instead of studying how whales move, it's better to think about how to survive first.

You're right, but I still think I underestimated the power of information asymmetry. Big players can hedge, have insider information, and ample funds, while we're just at the mercy of being exploited.

Ha, that's right. We can't learn to throw money at things that can be bought, but the mindset is way off. Left hand right hand? This guy understands it too well; hedging strategies are not the same as placing orders for us. Having real chart analysis skills is what truly matters. Don't just keep an eye on whale movements; that's just self-hypnosis. Instead of guessing what they're doing, it's better to figure out why you keep losing money. Honestly, most people chasing big accounts are just seeking psychological comfort, and as a result, they end up spiraling down.

That's right. Instead of constantly digging into others' holdings every day, it's better to spend more time analyzing the market itself.

Isn't this just liquidity crushing everything? Don't talk about some fundamental difference. I also want to open short positions on other exchanges to hedge, who doesn't want to... The problem is I don't have that capacity. Having strong analysis skills doesn't mean much; I'm still hammered down to doubting life. Just kidding, you really have to learn to read the charts, or all the money in the world is useless. Honestly, even big traders can get liquidated; their accounts are just more resilient.

That's correct, but I think the key isn't about having more or less money, but about whether people are willing to bear and wait. Our mentality has all collapsed.

That's right, but to be fair, we don't have that much money to back us up, and our risk tolerance is on a completely different level. If someone gets liquidated, they might lose a few hundred million, but if we get liquidated, we'd be back to square one—now that's the real difference. Rely on analysis? Ha, I've been analyzing charts for half a year, but it's not as effective as a single Telegram message from someone else.
