A major trader just closed a 255 BTC short position and pivoted to a 10× leveraged long on ZEC at $42,498, accumulating $17.53M in this single move. Impressively, this has boosted overall profits to $14.69M.

Breaking down the current portfolio:
- BTC: 1,331 coins ($122.84M)
- ETH: 22,828 coins ($72.16M)
- SOL: 232,187 coins ($33.09M)
- ZEC: 42,498 coins ($17.53M)
- XRP: 6.63M coins ($13.93M)

The strategic shift from shorting Bitcoin to leveraging Zcash suggests an intriguing directional bet on altseason momentum.

Damn, this guy made 17.53 million with a single trade, and I'm still debating whether to leverage up or not. --- Short squeeze to long? Indicates that this is indeed a strong bottom signal. --- This old-school coin zec dares to use 10x leverage, you must really believe in yourself. --- 1331 BTC is truly outrageous. Is this aiming to consume the entire market rhythm? --- Switching from short to long on zcash, this change is interesting, maybe betting on seasonal rotation. --- Over 17 million in a single order? Bro, this is a game of playing with money. --- The investment group has nearly 3.3 billion in SOL now. Are they bullish on blockchain games or what? --- Amazing, closing short positions and then reversing to long altcoins, this is going against the market. --- I'm wondering how this guy started touching zcash again. Is there a new story in privacy coins? --- $122.84M BTC position, one fluctuation could lead to bankruptcy. --- Making 17.53 million is just the profit from this single trade? There’s also a total profit of 14.69M later? Unbelievable. --- zec looks active again. Is it really about to take off or just another cut?

Damn, this guy's ZEC leverage strategy, ten times leverage on a single trade and making 17.53 million, I really need to learn from him.

Wow, such a move, ZEC's turnaround is beautifully executed. Shorts are closed, and they dare to use 10x leverage? That mindset is truly incredible. 1331 BTC sitting there making money, envy is a bit crazy. Altcoin season is here, this guy's intuition is really sharp. ZEC has really taken off this time, I wish I had bought the dip earlier. This portfolio is amazing, just BTC alone has over 10 billion. Using ten times leverage in one go, either big profit or liquidation, exciting. Turning from short to long, instantly earning 17.53 million, unbelievable. If this move were written into a trading textbook, it wouldn't be an exaggeration. It's someone else's story again, and I'm still buying at the bottom.

Damn, this guy shorted BTC and then turned around to go all-in on ZEC. His guts are really something. --- I really can't get into this roulette game; luckily I didn't follow the trend. --- 17.33 million USD in one shot? My goodness, this is the gap between me and him. --- Daring to play ZEC with 10x leverage, this brother's mindset is truly strong. --- From a short to a long, it seems this guy is betting on seasonal rebounds. --- A portfolio of over 30 million, still playing with 10x leverage on ZEC—kind of crazy. --- Looking at this setup, I get dizzy. How does he make so much money? --- Closing BTC and switching to ZEC, only city folks know how to play. --- One operation of 17.53 million, how many years of work would that take me? --- I don't quite understand this strategic shift, but people who make money are always right, right?

Damn, this guy shorted and made 17.53 million? I need to learn how he senses the turn. Can we catch this wave of ZEC? Feels a bit like gambling. This investment portfolio has over 100 million just in BTC. Sorry, I’m broke. Is the clone season coming? Or are we about to get cut again? Playing ZEC with 10x leverage—is that really bold or just smart? I don’t get it. Why can I only make small profits while they make as much in one trade as I do in a year? What exactly is this big brother’s background? Such precise timing of the switch.

Shorts closed and turned to go long on ZEC... I've seen this guy's contrarian approach before. There's always someone trying to switch precisely at the turning point, but my experience tells me that those who take the last position often die the fastest. This large leverage operation looks like it made a handsome 17.53 million, but the saying "sell when it rebounds" always works. The question is, when will he sell? Making a profit on the position isn't the end; buying the dip again is the real skill. This investment portfolio is all mainstream coins. The biggest flaw in the contrarian trading philosophy is holding these assets... the market bottom is still far away.
