The core of cryptocurrency is liquidating your funds. We're facing whale manipulators and exchanges with massive capital. So you should be afraid and respectful. Every choice you make is betting that you're lucky enough to be on the same side as the whales. Timely stop-losses, decisive position cutting, small position trial-and-error, reading liquidation maps, monitoring institutions, and taking the opposite side of whale orders—these are all the weapons in my arsenal. Throughout 2026, I've been constantly reminding myself to trial-and-error with small positions and not get caught up in the frenzy. I hope we can all learn from this together.
