$ALPACA The Air Force has crashed again, who has more money is more awesome
Why can't we short low market cap altcoins?
The main drawbacks of low market cap altcoins:
1. Insufficient liquidity, low trading volume
2. Extremely high volatility
3. The risk of manipulation by whales is extremely high; you see how the Alpaca coin got delisted and then surged 10 times as a favorable outcome, and it keeps going back and forth with both long and short squeezes
In contrast, mainstream currencies like $BTC and $ETH
1. They have high liquidity
2. A mature market exists for long and short speculation
3. A rich variety of trading pairs
4. The risk of manipulation is relatively low
