In this round of the market, the short sellers have been heavily liquidated, with 590 million blown up in 24 hours. I personally opened a short position on Christmas Day and have been holding on for nearly 20 days now. My original plan was to abandon short-term thinking and try a mid-term hold for a month. To be honest, I was just hoping to lose less.

I have always had a judgment: the US stock market will eventually adjust, and signals of an economic crisis are also accumulating. But the reality is in front of us—if an economic crisis really comes, will Bitcoin drop in sync with the US stocks? Or will it instead become a safe-haven asset? I find this question hard to understand.

However, from a longer cycle perspective, I am still bullish on Bitcoin. Its value is right there, and no other asset can fully replace it. Honestly, the current market cap of several trillion dollars is not high in the global financial assets pool. I believe in this logic.

20 days underwater on a short? bro that's not conviction, that's just... opportunity cost spiraling lmao. the real question isn't whether btc hedges or correlates—it's why you're still thinking in correlation matrices instead of capital efficiency metrics. protocol dynamics don't care about your macro thesis, ngl

5.9 billion liquidation, according to my analysis, this is the big players testing the depth, see how many retail investors can hold on 20 days of stubbornly holding short positions is indeed uncomfortable, but what's interesting is that your logical chain is actually self-contradictory—if you're optimistic about the long-term prospects of Bitcoin, it's a bit funny to still be stubbornly fighting the shorts When an economic crisis hits, will Bitcoin fall together or serve as a safe haven asset? To put it simply, it depends on the real positions of institutional wallets on the blockchain. Their movements are faster than news updates.

Shorts are being wildly squeezed, serves them right. Those who buy the dip are the smart ones. Holding on stubbornly for 20 days is really tough; it's better to admit defeat and go long. With an economic crisis coming, is Bitcoin a safe haven or just along for the ride? No one can say for sure, but in the long run, it will go up. Tens of trillions in global assets are just a drop in the bucket; this logic makes sense.

20 days and still holding on? Man, you’ve got to get your mindset right. Admit defeat and stop waiting. Or let’s think in reverse—since Bitcoin can withstand risks during the US stock market adjustments, what are you afraid of now? But honestly, the logic of a market cap of hundreds of billions is indeed solid. Long-term optimism is not wrong.

The air force really went all out this time, enduring 20 days of holding without giving up—can't hold on anymore, haha. The most surreal thing in the crypto world is this: when a crisis hits, nobody knows whether BTC will follow the decline or serve as a safe haven. If you bet right, you soar; if you bet wrong, you lose everything. Long-term bullishness is correct, but in the short term, this kind of market condition can really drive people crazy.
