On-Chain Data Tracking Platform Monitoring shows that within the past hour on January 8th, an active trading address with the nickname "Shanzhai Air Force Leader" has been continuously increasing its ZEC short positions, with a single increase of about 2024 coins, roughly equivalent to $920,000. After this operation, the total ZEC short position value of this address rose to $1.51 million, with an average holding price around $480, currently with an unrealized profit of about $94,000.

Interestingly, this address is not only focused on ZEC. From last night to this morning, it has also been continuously building short positions in BTC and DOGE. As of press time, the BTC short position is approximately $8.2 million (average price $91,800), and the DOGE short position is about $1.62 million (average price $0.147). It’s clear that this trader holds a very firm bearish outlook on the current market.

What’s more worth noting is the long-term performance of this address. Since November, it has opened short positions on over 20 altcoins, with an initial investment of about $20 million. Through continuous adding to positions and opening new shorts, the total holdings have expanded to $56.5 million. The cumulative profit over the past year has exceeded $80 million, making it one of the most profitable shorts during this downtrend. Currently, this address remains the largest short holder of LIT on the Hyperliquid platform.

This guy is really ruthless, $80 million... I’ve never taken such a big bite on a short position. --- Shanzhai Air Force leader? The name is good, but he's just addicted to betting on short positions. --- Position of $56.5 million, quite bold, just one stitch away from losing it all. --- No way, how can this guy be so bearish? BTC, ZEC, DOGE, taking turns shorting? --- $80 million profit sounds great, but at this position, with so many shorts stacked up, you better be careful. --- This trader has only this trick, traveling the world eating up shorts. --- Strong bearish attitude? Why not fear a top or bottom liquidation? --- Opening short positions on more than 20 altcoins, that must be a lack of security.

Damn, this guy is playing short so skillfully, making 80 million in profit is truly unbelievable. --- The name "Shanzhai Air Force Leader" is spot on haha. --- Another sniper, so confident in the bearish stance... Still daring to hold heavy short positions now? --- Starting with 20 million and now at 56.5 million, I really admire this scaling-up pace. --- ZEC, BTC, DOGE all in at once—are they truly bearish or just gambling? --- Eighty million in profit, we struggle to make even a fraction of that trading all year. --- This brother's market judgment is sharp, but whether he can walk away completely intact is the key. --- Continuously adding to short positions... Either a genius or a lunatic, there's no middle ground.

This guy made a profit of $80 million, truly turning shorting into an art, impressive. --- Shanzhai Air Force leader? The name sounds as fierce as the moves, doubling the position in just a month—this is real conviction. --- A position size of $56.5 million... so he's treating his entire wallet as a futures account, quite bold. --- Leverage from $20 million up to $56.5 million, the pacing of adding positions is tight—there's something there. --- People who are so confident in a bearish view usually get proven wrong, but the data is right there this time—$80 million speaks. --- Shorting BTC, ZEC, and DOGE together—if it reverses, this guy will be wiped out. Is this gambler mentality or technical analysis?

Damn, this guy has a floating profit of 94,000 ZEC just on ZEC alone, with over 80 million in profit in a year... Truly the king of shorts. --- Altcoins are heavily shorted, is this betting that the entire altseason will cool down? So bold. --- Since November, the position has grown from 20 million to 56.5 million... This pace of adding positions is a living example of leverage artistry. --- But to be fair, no matter how much the shorts are making, it depends on whether Hyperliquid will get liquidated. If the market turns around, it’s all over. --- This wave of bearish attitude is so firm, is it really supported by data or just a gambling mindset? Honestly, relying solely on on-chain monitoring isn’t enough. --- Hearing 80 million in profit sounds great, but thinking about the initial investment of 20 million... that’s only about 400% annualized return. Not much better than top protocols’ APY. --- And then I think of that classic question — is this guy’s profit from this wave really because the market is declining, or is he just betting on group sentiment?
