When your trading futures your not trading the underlying asset, your trading against others speculations very different than spot trading or hodling. No ones betting against it your betting against other people. Im only 20 and i know more about markets cycles, trading, mathematics, coding, programming and contracts in general than the average person holding bitcoin. Its sad everyone does the your against it play than reading between the lines. I have like 20 separate wallets all for different purposes and multiple funded exchange accounts for shorting and longing. Jesus christ i swear. A diverse portfolio is always better than sitting on one asset with one game plan.
