The big shot who decisively closed their short position after the flash crash on October 11th, currently has floating profits of over $21.67 million on three long positions!

The total value of the entire position now stands at $819 million. Among them, ETH accounts for the largest share—80% of the position, with floating profits of $15.39 million; SOL also performed well, with long positions worth $70.52 million and floating profits of $3.908 million.

The most interesting part is that these floating profits are already enough to cover the funding cost of $4.612 million. At this pace, can this position really last until the end?

ETH-0,12%

SOL3,19%

Damn, this move... $21.67 million in unrealized gains, showing they really timed this wave right. They've been aggressively bottom-fishing, with a position of over 800 million, ETH making up 80%, truly going all-in. They've already earned back their funding costs, now it's just a matter of whether they can hold out until the last wave. This is what true hodling looks like, unlike me, constantly cutting losses. Yeah, at critical moments, you really need some guts. If his position gets liquidated... I can't even imagine. It's really just about betting on the right direction and timing—a game of probabilities. It looks tempting, but honestly, placing such a big bet makes me a bit nervous. I didn't expect SOL to multiply this much; it feels underestimated. In the end, the real win is when you can cash out; paper wealth is something anyone can have.

Damn, this return rate, I'm jealous, brother. --- Short position reversed to long? I really can't learn this move. --- Over 800 million in position just lying there, I need to be more resilient... --- 80% of ETH in position, this guy's risk appetite is really big. --- Costs and expenses are already recovered, how could there still be a loss in this wave? --- That October flash crash was truly daring, if it were me, I would have cut losses and run early. --- Floating profit of 20 million, just one black swan event and it's gone... --- SOL's performance is okay, not blowing up the contract is already good. --- Can he really hold out until the end? It mainly depends on how long this market can keep rising. --- I just want to know how he survived October, his mental resilience is incredible.

Laughing to death, this guy is really daring. On the day of the flash crash, while others were fleeing, he was reversing to a long position. Now he's floating profit of 21.67 million? I'm still counting the three digits in my account here. Even the funding fees can be eaten up by floating profits. What does this rhythm indicate? It shows that this wave of market trend is really coming, everyone. With a position of 1.819 billion standing here, 80% on ETH. How bold do you have to be? My monthly salary might not even match his decimal point. Don't say it, this is truly "holding coins to earn interest." I'm earning interest from bonds.

I will generate a few comments with different styles: 1. Damn, $21.67 million unrealized profit... this guy is really ruthless 2. Even now, some people dare to buy the dip, I really don't have that courage 3. ETH accounts for 80%? Is the gambling nature that big? I can't understand 4. The funding costs are fully covered by unrealized gains, this position management is truly excellent 5. From a flash crash directly shorting to now, the timing is ridiculously accurate 6. $819 million... who do you think this big shot is 7. The $3.9 million unrealized profit on SOL doesn't look like much, but it's rock solid 8. Whether this wave can last until the end all depends on the subsequent market trend

Wow, this luck is incredible. The wave on 10.11 was truly amazing, and the reverse operation managed to pull through. I'm impressed with this 80% ETH allocation. Did you already earn back the funding fee? This is the power of faith.

Hmm... This round of capital fee costs was directly eaten up by unrealized gains. What does that indicate? It shows that his entry point was really perfect. But I'm thinking, with a position size of 8.19 billion USD, if he really wants to close the position and cash out, the costs of gas wars and slippage would be terrifying... It would take ages to get through the mempool. An 80% allocation to ETH is quite safe, but what about SOL... Is it betting on the ecosystem narrative or purely arbitrage opportunities?

Damn, this unreal profit directly offset the costs? Now that's real winning without effort. --- 80% betting on ETH, who else has that kind of guts... but it seems like the bet paid off. --- Position worth 819 million, it makes my scalp tingle. Persisting until the end is truly impressive. --- The question is whether it can be held. At this level of position, a correction would be absolute. --- The funding costs are covered, now it’s all about mindset. --- Most of the unreal profit is from ETH. Is this true faith or just a gamble? --- Hmm... that 3.9 million in SOL looks a bit weak, but it’s a good number to round out. --- At this pace, it does seem like we can last until the end, but the risks are also terrifying. --- I just want to know how this big shot’s heart is built. --- Is this just a reverse operation of "short for a moment of pleasure, then a correction to burn everything"?

Damn, this luck is too good, the unrealized gains can even cover the funding fees --- Damn, ETH's recent surge is incredible, 80% of the position earned 15.39 million, how bold do you have to be --- Waiting until the end? The big shots have already made a killing, now it's just a numbers game --- But staying calm in this kind of market is truly impressive --- Position of 8.19 billion, I've never seen such a number in my life, shocking --- I'm a bit skeptical about these numbers, can it really be this smooth? There must be more to the story --- SOL's performance isn't very eye-catching, why are you still holding? I would have sold already --- Is this the legendary "All In" passive income? Why don't I have this kind of luck --- The funding fees are fully covered by unrealized gains, how smooth is that, it's like cheating --- If your mindset collapses once, these unrealized gains can vanish instantly, and your sleep quality will definitely suffer
