Shorting strong-controlled coins is no different than running naked in front of a project holding money.

The bigger the waves, the more expensive the fish, provided you can withstand the storm.

But once you chase the rise, it drops.
Many times, you think it's just bad luck, but in fact, it's the dog whales watching you cut.
