@scriptkiddie The Invisible Hand is a metaphor coined by Adam Smith to describe how individual self-interest in a free market unintentionally promotes the general good of society. When individuals pursue their own profits, they are led by market forces,specifically supply and demand,to produce goods and services that others value. This competition drives efficiency, innovation, and fair pricing without the need for central planning. While powerful, the concept assumes ideal conditions and does not automatically address issues like monopolies, externalities, or wealth inequality.

@scriptkiddie Getting on any trade market you get scammed by the biggest trust me. Also the market by nature is always against you. Is why some of us smarties short instead long. And hedge to have the capita which is lost but get funding every 8hrs. Is only way to keep your funds and rely on the asset's price. short is sell the market and long is buy it btw. Short is for future contracts without time limit as long you have collateral and your position is red you still have the gain of the funding and your hedge on the other side which is just normal price as holding. So In fact if you play , play with big cash or you loose your cash.

@scriptkiddie This was the trick : To hedge with $500 total capital, split your funds evenly: buy $250 in Spot BTC and use the remaining $250 as collateral to open a $250 Short on Futures. This creates a "delta-neutral" position. If Bitcoin's price rises, your Spot holdings gain value while your Short position loses an equal amount. If the price falls, your Spot loses value while your Short gains. The price movements cancel each other out completely, freezing your portfolio value at $500. Your profit comes exclusively from the Funding Rate. In a bullish market, traders with Long positions pay traders with Short positions every 8 hours. By holding the Short, you collect these fees passively. Just ensure the funding rate is positive; if it turns negative, you will have to pay the fee instead. This strategy removes price risk, leaving you only with the risk of the funding rate changing. in fact use only 75$ short with only 500$ keep the rest n your futures account as collateral to erase my last point. From the 250 total as collateral in short use only max 75$ and set leverage 5 x so your sum is 325$ with 175$ as collateral in futures short while you have a hedge of $250 in real asset's sum to keep your short alive and one day you will see it go up even if you are deep red and keep funding collateral go on as you receive cash and 1 day it will go up as crazy. Is why I said play big, 500$ is not enough to play the markets 5k yes. Also if it goes down anyway as you short take a bit of wins and put them equally in every hedge and keep build up. Thing is however at some point you want to cash it out , so taxes or minimal sums with high transaction prices to get inflationary cash in the end anyway. Is it worth? no. Is why I stopped with that bs, and saw that invisible hand out of nowhere changing prices for no reason at all. Sure you can buy using BTC at some stores etc but the price is inflationary.
