My trading thesis differs here. While you're shorting $BTC directly, I'm focused on the relative weakness—playing the bleed in altcoins as BTC dominance strengthens. Same bearish conviction on alts, but the execution isn't comparable. The directional risk profiles are fundamentally different when you factor in correlation breakdowns during volatility spikes.

Alright, I get this idea... But to be honest, holding altcoins is just betting that BTC won't crash. If liquidity tightens, can they really escape?

Yeah, I get this idea, but to be honest, it's still less stable than directly shorting BTC... Those small coins are too volatile.

I'm too familiar with this trick, low-risk arbitrage, right... but are you sure the correlation will really break down during volatility spikes?

Directly short BTC with my strategy is completely different; when the crypto market volatility hits and the correlation collapses, everyone will have to kneel.
