There have been many people with much sharper rising EC curves who didn't end up in complete collapse
Losing beyond these 2 points marked out is not "greed" or "balls."
It is a deep misunderstanding of the game, pure retardation & cope.
Greedy people keep the money they make.
I constantly have to explain to people from abroad why British politics is the way it is.
So here’s a TL;DR summary.
> The UK is highly conservative, especially England
> The political class was completely captured by left liberal ideology
> So the mainstream “right wing” party kept promising conservative policies.. but then gave us unprecedented waves of immigration, asylum and woke institutional takeover
> They blamed the high immigration on our membership of the EU, so pressure built and they gave us a rigged referendum in which the government literally posted every household a flyer saying “don’t do it, it will be terrible”
> we voted Brexit anyway - because we wanted lower immigration, desperately
> They ramped non-EU, 3rd world immigration up by orders of magnitude to the highest levels in history to punish us and to squash Covid inflation by lowering wages while pumping their own property portfolios
> Eventually, we’d had enough.. but there was no other serious movement on the right yet.. so we punished them with a historically low vote, removing them from power
> This meant the mainstream left wing party won by default. But quickly realised all their ideas had been implemented..
> So now all they do is tinker at the edges and brutally crack down on anyone deemed to be problematic to the race communism revolution / replacement program
So here we are.. patiently waiting for 2029 for our next vote.. as if in an orderly queue.. with a party in power that is the antithesis of what the majority of British people actually want.
Meanwhile the right is so unbelievably frustrated that it has fractured into 3 parties
1) the original conservatives “we’re sorry we will definitely lower immigration this time”
2) Reform : “anyone can be British as long as it’s legal - we just want to grow the economy and stop the illegals”
3) Restore : “millions must go”
I hope you’ve enjoyed my intro to British politics.
@atarashi similar attack used to happen a year into pump's launch. likely some of the sniper bots / trading apps leaked trade intents and one specific sniper was able to snipe coins that were highly likely to have strong volume in the first few seconds
It really helps to treat trading as a business, because the reason businesses earn money is often close to the reason you earn money in trading. In both cases you get paid for 1) being able to do things others can't do or 2) taking on risk others don't want to take on. That's essentially the whole thing.
I had asbestos removed this year, which was my first real contact with that industry. Great example, same two things blocking everyone else from doing the job: you need the infrastructure (certification, skills, expensive equipment, etc.) and even if you had all of that, you still wouldn't *want* to do it, because the work is unpleasant, hard, and the risk of getting it wrong is severe. That gap is the entire business model. The market pays a premium for absorbing a problem the rest want nothing to do with.
Trading pays for exactly that. You get paid for doing the shitty thing, for sitting in positions others won't sit in. So you want to move toward ideas and strategies that have some shittiness to them: uncomfortable, with a clear downside and a specific risk attached.
