Meme Insider
Ever feel like crypto trading is a rollercoaster? Picture this: You drop a massive 40x leveraged short on Bitcoin right before Donald Trump's crypto-friendly announcement sends BTC skyrocketing. Unrealized losses hit $4 million, you're depositing $1M USDC just to stay alive, and the entire community is watching your every move.
That's exactly what happened to the whale 0xdDc – now hilariously revealed as machismallbrother.eth, the "little bro" to legendary meme coin trader Machi Big Brother. And guess what? He held through the storm and just closed the position for a sweet $208,624 profit!
The Epic BTC Short Saga Unfolds
It all started last week. As Trump hype built, this whale opened a 40x BTC short on Hyperliquid – one of the hottest perp DEXes for big bets. BTC pumped hard post-announcement, slashing his profits from $8.6M to $4.6M and putting him on the liquidation brink.
@OnchainLens spotted it first:
A whale "0xdDc" who opened a $BTC short with 40x leverage before the #Trump announcement is now facing a floating loss of $4M and has deposited $1M $USDC to avoid liquidation.
But BTC didn't moon forever. It pulled back just enough...
The Nail-Biting Close: Profits Locked In
Fast-forward to today. In a flurry of trades over ~30 minutes, Machi Small Brother methodically closed his ~19.47 BTC short:
