My friend made over $1 million shorting the last bear market. He bought a house for his girlfriend. Then she left him for another man and sold the house. But that’s not even the biggest lesson I learned from his story. It changed how I look at bear markets, and it’s one reason I still believe BTC could fall to $30K. A few years ago, I had a friend named Zee from Indonesia. During the bear market, he kept telling me something: “Stop longing everything. Start looking for opportunities to short.” But I refused. I was holding plenty of spot bags, and the last thing I wanted was to short a market I was praying would pump. I thought the market would recover. Zee saw things differently. While I kept losing money, he kept making money by shorting. He eventually made over $1 million during that bear market. He became rich, bought a house for his girlfriend, and seemed to have everything going for him. Then life dealt him a terrible hand. His girlfriend left him for another man and sold the house he had bought for her. Imagine making over $1 million, buying a house for someone you love, only for her to leave you for another man and sell the house. The whole experience affected him badly. He fell into depression. I still remember his story. But there was another lesson I learned from him. While he was making money from the bear market, I was busy protecting my spot bags and refusing to accept what the market was showing me. I was trading my hopes, not the chart. That’s a mistake I don’t want to repeat. So when I say BTC could reach $30K, I’m not saying it is guaranteed. I’m saying you should prepare for possibilities, even when they are uncomfortable. You don’t have to agree with my prediction. But let me ask you something: If BTC drops another 50%, will you be ready to make money from the move, or will you still be praying for your bags to recover?
