The Trenches Counterparty Trade.
How to short any & every meme coin.👇
The Opportunity)
Profiting from negative price action on worthless meme coins which are a dime a dozen to say the least with >99.9% of them dying out within first 60 days.
The Problem)
Very few meme coins make it to perp markets & money markets, those that do often go on decent runs so are risky to short & those which you want to short become illiquid and/or funding rates cost a fortune.
The Solution)
You set up your own lending market with the collateral of your choosing & source your counterparties yourself. Yes it is more work but going the extra mile to short garbage pays.
Here is how:
>go to @useteller, a protocol which allows you to either lend or borrow with isolated over collateralized time based loans, as well as set up new pairs.
>go to 'lend & earn'/pools
>click on the plus sign in the top right hand corner to create a new pool
>then simply copy in the token address for your desired collateral & your desired meme coin you wish to short.
I recommend choosing a collateralization ratio of about 400% so lenders feel secure & a decent interest rate to entice them in. the 30 day loan period is also probably optimal to give your short position a decent time to play out.
You will then have to approve your desired token which you wish to short, in this case GME(Ethereum) & then deposit a tiny amount to set up the pool, about $50 worth in this case.
In order to find counterparty's to lend from to short your desired token(s) you will need to identify meme coins with still somewhat active communities of bag holders.
For this I recommend newer memes which are 7 days to 30 days old where the coins market cap has surpassed the recent newly launched meme coin market cap averages.
This way the community will still be full of bag holders with a strong optimism bias whom are yet to even reach the denial stage.
Once said coin & community has been identified it is time to head into their discord & look for delusional bulls whom wish to earn a very lucrative interest rate on their garbage bags.
In many cases the team themselves should be approached as they will be happy to identify to their community where they can park their bags to earn a decent return on them.
If you do not have the capital to create a decent size market to entice such lenders then I recommend trying to pool together with your friends for a trading group play.
Just remember friends, once you have borrowed & then sold(shorted) said meme coin, to buy it back(hopefully at a lower price) and repay the loan before the 30 day period!
You can also extend the loan for a similar time period if there is enough liquidity available.
You can also sell your borrowed token, convert it back to the collateral token & then short even more to be more capital efficient if you desire.
Hope you enjoyed this short guide friends.
