#CELShortSqueeze
I have been receiving many private DM's recently on the possibility of "off market" short positions + how we are being duped by #FTX + @SBF_FTX
Are there + 10-20M Shorts out there?
How Can We Find out?
Comments 🙏
Here is 1⃣ leading scenario to consider
HF or institutional money are doing OTC quite often because of two reasons:
- Hide the actual purpose of a trade
- Keep the price of the asset stable (for the moment of the OTC at least)
Mostly they are approached by a third-party institution solely for the purpose to
manipulate an assets current price to rather buy or sell it over or undervalued respectively.
This kind of trades are done with spot market shares or their direct derivatives (shorts or longs) of an asset otherwise an OTC would not even be necessary given the possibility to
trade futures.
The futures market is mostly used to manipulate the price. Usually as a given rule to follow for the institution is a maximum expenditure of 3% of the OTC value on a weekly bases to invest for the desired outcome.
This kind of deals are short term and
extend over a period of 30 weeks.
If within the given time frame the desired outcome has not been achieved the OTC will be closed at a loss for the third-party institution.
The above statement implies the trading of shares. Adjusting the rules based on risk assessment this can
very well be applied to any digital asset class as well.
Let’s try to apply the given rules and setup to #Celsius:
HR or institutional money = ?
OTC deal = 20m or more $CEL short
Third-party institution = ? (if I have to take a guess FTX)
Collateral: approximately $6B
>>
Goal: Acquisition of Celsius by FTX for pennies on the $ (discounted intrinsic value)
What they did not forecast:
1⃣ Celsius locking up funds + creating illiquidity
2⃣ Filling for CH11 rather than CH7
3⃣ Community movement and increasing buying pressure
If you have experience or knowledge of this type of activity, let's hear it

No specifics needed, just scenarios or how we can expose those responsible
Because they have been preparing for this fight since the beginning.
It is the fight of their life.

I've literally listened to every AMA for 2.5 years.. So what I am thinking about @CelsiusNetwork maybe doesn't resonate with you as you may be in a different understanding with what you know or trust about the business or @Mashinsky
Alex has been saying since Day 1
"Banks are not your friends"
FFS, the guy had t-shirts made
He brought this fight front & centre
His other main narrative is "no fee's" + he's been clearly downgrading Nexo, BlockFi + all the others for years.
ALL WHO CHARGE FEES
After talking further with people on the inside, here are some valuble insights directly from @FreewayFi CEO, @grahamdoggart

Here is some clarification on how user deposit rewards are created + why user's deposits are untouched, not lent out, no charge on them, not used to >
secure anything (and why they can say, better than a bank for holding assets)
No other project they know of have a fully regulated crypto brokerage license.
Ok, so Prime brokerages can allocate leverage (credit to trade at higher volumes) and after a regulatory shakeout, >
