I have never once seen evidence of a bear making money from shorting

Market makers do it all the time you DUMB FAGGOT. When retail are long who takes the other side and sells it to them? Market makers and exchanges, so they can later liquidate them. Crypto is a fucking scam.

I just got done in another thread explaining how he shorted the UK pound with $10 billion in 1992 (which would be like $35b today) and broke the Bank of England. He cleared a $1 billion profit in 48 hours, and rightoids hate him to this day.
Same thing with the guy who bet against the banks in the 2008 subprime crisis, I think that guy made $15 billion. Banks like Citigroup went from being valued at $500/share to $10 over 6 months, and you are still living with the effects.
Bears are annoying perpetual pessimists until the day when everyone realizes the bullshit was bullshit and frantically rush to sell their bags.

The US president sells perfume and rugpulls. 75 year old boomer politicians are discussing the value of Bitcoin in political committees, pulling a serious face. I suspect that there could be enough bullshit this or next year for someone to exploit it at scale.
