Is shorting inherently safer than longing in a margin trade? I've seen a lot of flash crashes but never a flash pump. Is there such a thing? Is there a risk of being liquidated instantly when shorting?

Wait what the fuck? No it's the opposite.

For a completely random situation, longing would be infinitely less risky than shorting. With longing, you risk a coin's value going to 0, which is extremely unlikely. With shorting, you have no idea how high it will go. There's no limit to how much you can lose (you'll get margin called) but even then.

There's a hard fucking floor at 0. But there is no such thing as a ceiling.

Follow the trend and have tight stops. For example we are in a bull trend on BTC open a long and let it ride but have a stop loss ready and cut your losses if there is a pullback.

Shorting here is a recipe for pink Wojaks.

I've seen a flash pump with BTS a few weeks ago. Put me from a few percentages profit to being 1% away from being liquidated in 2 minutes. Held through and closed with a profit but holy fuck I was sweating bullets

Shorting advantages:
- You gain/lose BTC. If your short is successful your BTC is also worth more vs. the altcoin in a long it's the other way around

Longing advantages:
- Infinite possible gains
- Risk at most the investment
