For all of the "why is dash @ 100 $" questions:
https://www.reddit.com/r/ethtrader/comments/606fz4/my_final_margin_call/Thats one of the dash shorters who lost 150 btc and bring us to higher prices, and im quite sure there are many more of these kind .
"All because of one position, I lost it all. Yes, I know it was stupid. Yes, I know you shouldn't short, especially in a bull market. Yes, I know that I should have cut my losses fast. From the first worrying -2 BTC to the slightly terrifying -20 BTC, watching my losses grow and grow. Everyone told me to close the position: but I told them, are you retarded? Do you want me to close out with a $2,000 loss when it's so clear DASH is going to crash? Do you want me to close with a $10,000 loss when this is clearly a bubble? Do you want me to close with a $50,000 loss when I can easily make $20,000 if I just wait this out?"
^^ Thats what i mean if i say this bull run is driven by shorters (ofc thats not the only cause, but its a big multiplier), who can't believe dash has potential, because there is so much hate against dash and so much fud, they can't believe it went to 20 $ to 30 $ ... to 100 $ ... these are the ones who are squeezed hard on that run and did a good job in making dash price x10 !
I'm realy sorry for them, and i blame iceshitter and his troll crew for destroying thousands of lifes with theire fud against dash !!!
I would feel sorry for this guy--I really would--except that he posted on /r/BitcoinMarkets that he was "shorting a shitcoin." In other words, he lost $150,000 shorting something he knew nothing about and was already emotionally predisposed to dislike. Traders are supposed to make decisions based on what the market says, not based on their belief that Bitcoin is God and all others are "shitcoins."
P.S. In this time of craziness--Dash's hockey stick rise which should eventually correct, continually improving fundamentals/announcements from Core Team/upcoming Evo which should cause price to rise, continual uncertainty in Bitcoin which should cause BTC price to fall (or rise, if/when controversy is ever resolved)--it can be hard to figure out where to put your money. I'd like to quote toknormal, who said in the Dash Nation slack that it's a good idea to put your assets where you want to be long term. If you want to be in DASH at the end of the year, keep your money in DASH and ride the ups and downs. Of course, if you want to be in BTC, or fiat, or ETH...that's fine, put your money in those.
