I made a lot of money in the last few months by shorting crypto. If I tell it to anyone they act like I did something wrong or harmful. Of course they can't provide any valid criticism or they don't even know what shorting is.
I am just a wagie and I trading with my salary and it works really well. I bought a flat in january. Without trading it would take 30 years for me to hoard that amount of money to be able to buy a flat. Now I could buy another flat just from the profit of my last short. Is it a bad thing? Big bankers and wall street doing the same thing and they don't even have a real job.
