The average leverage used on Bitmex is 8.6x. In sideways chop price action, people are still constantly getting liquidated on tiny moves. Might be a good time, especially in this market environment, for a thread about leverage and how to *properly* use it.

I feel like most people are underestimating how bullish $BTC is right now, they keep trying to short it. This may be the last opportunity in 2018 for longing cheap. Why short this chance? It's a gift. Many are going to feel pretty stupid soon.

At this point: relatively convinced that even if $BTC is moving up, alt/btc pairs will do poorly. Even if they do well, leverage longing BTC with a larger position size than usual ends up having similar returns as playing alts, with lower risk.

Parabolic uptrends are not the same as parabolic downtrends. Uptrend are built on an overflow of demand - eventually supply will overflow. Downtrends are built on utter lack of demand & there is no reason that demand must form. Looking at inverse charts of alts isn't valid.

0/ It kills me to tweet about SEC rulemaking procedures, but given the confusion on #crypto twitter today, it feels necessary. TL;DR -- the SEC can, and probably will, delay its decision on the VanEck/SolidX commodity-backed #bitcoin ETF until ~February 21, 2019. Thread.

People are over exaggerating the ETF news now since it's potentially bullish.. The SEC said they will give a decision within 45 days (August 10th), but that they can extend that period up to 90 days. This doesn't mean it'll be decided on August 10th like everyone is publishing.

During these choppy $BTC ranges, people begin to overtrade. There's no need to stress over $100-200 moves. Take setups that fit your trading style. If you're a scalper, this is great - but if you're a swing or trend trader, then why would you panic over tiny price changes?

The most important thing to consider when trading shitcoins is the correlation between them. Your risk per position can't be managed on an individual basis - since most altcoins move together, view your altcoin positions as a group, and model portfolio risk on that.
