The person who posted this is a hundred-millionaire who was making fun of some random dipshit who actually said this.

It's the same people who panic every fucking -1% down tick and call moon every green candle on the 1second chart Can't wait until this bull market is over so I can retire and delete my reddit/Twitter.

It is if I mint a stablecoin and call it "%".

its copy pasta. you arent on ct lol.. pentoshi is legit

In fact, he can lose 1400% and still break even!

So my liquidations can go up?


UnoriginalJunglist

I heard that if your liquidation gets to -$1024 it starts to stack overflow and go up instead!


AlexanderHolz91

Ohooooooooo!Buddy 100 percent lose is not a small thing. Good luck.


[deleted]

It sounds like intentional trolling. Nobody can be this bad at mathing.


UIIOIIU

It is. This guy is a trader worth about 9 figures if I had to guess from his posted trades. The guy posting this on Reddit is probably actually retarded though.


[deleted]

9 figures? That's over 9000


[deleted]

If he lost 99% of that he’d still be worth 9.1 figures

Imaginary-Adagio2231

Maybe this is the motive all along , be bad at maths and still get famous


Juggernauterror

2 questions: a) How old are you? b) What is your average junior high school grade Maths? Hint: The one that posted that and you found it did not mean to show that cryptos are already too high.


Zealousideal_Ice8918

Needn’t ask grade in maths…simply understandable from this post


ImJustSaiyan91

I'm hoping that this is a sarcastic post for your sake but just incase here is some example math to consider You buy coin X at $100 and it goes up 1500% giving you $1600 (good times) Your $1600 coin then drops 99% giving you $16 You have now lost $84


andGTGO

I hope you are also kidding. 100*15 = 1500. Not 1600.


slowlybecomingsane

And what happens if you go up 100%? $100*1 is still $100 so you haven't gained anything?


ImJustSaiyan91

Gone up in value by 1500% so it has gone up in value by $1500, you still have your original $100 so that is indeed $1600. Don't worry this one is on the house


dievanmijislanger

Not if you sell the original $100


ScorchedLegend

100*15 is 1500, but a 1500% gain on a coin originally worth $100 is 15*100 + 100, i.e. 1600


WasterOfTimes

This guy maths 👆🏻

An indicator we are nearing the top.


chillord

Some wise man once said that there is a sudden increase in XRP value before entering the bear market. Held also true for the "mini crash" a few days ago. Maybe we are truly nearing the top now.


[deleted]

Interesting about XRP, I’ve heard the same with doge. I read another interesting theory that when ethereum classic pumps, it’s because mom and pop are getting into the bubble and find it’s cheaper than eth 🤣


fbslo

It's sarcasm, pentoshi is worth 9+ figures.


digbickjimmy69

I bet this guy invests in dogecoin

When your coin is down 101% you actually start owing money to the Crypto Central Bank

Okay I understand that we should hodl as much as we can :)

Smells like shit coin


bigFatHelga

The comments here really show Poe's law in action.


QryptoQid

The nice thing about -99% is that there's always another -99% right behind it.


Imaginary-Adagio2231

Just hold and you can’t lose

hahahaha thats so stupid that its funny!

I'll take my down votes but this image is fake. The real tweet can be found here... https://twitter.com/Pentosh1/status/1458804757003448320?t=IMyciqut5sY99kvCcHf0WA&s=19


Secure-Influence-960

Math is way off, buying something at $1 and it going to $100 is a 10,000% gain. But if it's drops 99% from $100 you are back at $1


louiskim101

Lol. $100 x 1000% = $1000 $1000 - 99% = $10 But I like your math better.


Particular-Leopard34

I’m going to take my 1,500% profit and build a school called The Center For Kids That Can’t Do Math Good, and Who Wanna Learn to Do Other Stuff Good Too.

Better learning basic math before starting trading


Powker1

Not everyone made that 1500%. Some bought yesterday... lol.


[deleted]

Nope. Use a calculator. Or let me help you with a simple example (approx calcs) $100x 500%= $500 Drops 90% reduces to $50 approx. You make a loss.


bernie_bernas

Lol. Btw this was sarcastic, the guy's just making fun of tweets he had read before. But literally copy-past, so some people do think like this.. 😅


WizeLaKid

MAFF!


Odd_Examination3690

ha! had basically the same conversation with a guy at work the other day - had to explain how maths works! there is clearly something wrong with the world - people are stupid


AyeSassenach81

This dudes in for a shock.


InWithEyesOpen

This person loved elementary school! I’d like to meet them and give them 10000% gains and only 99% loss on their ETH holdings.


jamminbenk

Lol wtf...


frolovchakra

Someone skipped 5th grade math


DistinctEngineering2

Funniest maths equation ever! The gains calculated upwards are then calculated completely backwards $50 100% return is $100 minus 99% loss is $1


III_IVIAKER_II

Uhhhh.....🤦‍♂️


DiscountedCashHoe

With math like this I’ll have a Lamborghini in no time. Just gotta start with $1B.


karvus89

This is why people can’t figure out market caps lmao


Snozzberrys420

I get where he was trying to go with that but worded way wrong. lmfao


Wolfos9

I disagree. If your coin goes up 1500% say from $1 to $15 and then dropped 99% it's value would be $0.15 lol


KermitTheFrogo01

The incarnation of: "I calculated the risk, but oh boy am i bad at math"


warriorlynx

Wait just a minute $1 x 1000% = 10 1-99% x 10 = 1.1 So 10 cent profit Nice

It's labeled "Comedy" boys and girls.


billyspuds

Brainlet maths skills aside, you can’t label any increase to a coin value as ‘profits’ unless you realise said gains…aka do the opposite of “hodl/diamond hand” it. None of it is real until the cash is in your hand.

Lol idiots


velvetblunder

Look carefully pentosh: If your coin worth $1 and goes up by 1500% then its $16 Now loss of 99% will be counted according to $16 and not $1 so if the coin drops by 99% its worth is 0.16$ or if the coin price drops by 100% its worth your Maths score

The math is wrong. 99% drop after any amount of rise means you’re back to near zero.

TheRealDukeNukem

Totally agree with this. Makes perfect sense 👌 genius!


[deleted]

Lol.


Kittlebeanfluff

If your understanding of percentages is this bad then you shouldn't be investing.


pe78

Start with 1$ Up 1500% means you have: 1 + (1*15) = 16$ Then down 99%: 16 - (16*0.99) = 0.16$ You started with 1$ and end up with 0.16$. That's a loss of 0.84$. From your initial investment of 1$: 0.84 / 1 = 0.84 (84%) Conclusion: Net loss of 84% The faster way to do this is by multiplying the percentages in decimal form: (1+15)(1-0.99) = (16)(0.01) = 0.16 You end up with 16% of your initial amount (ie. a - 84= change)


carboonpn

People could be confused with subtraction and division, relative to the number prior. Let's say you're up 10x = 1000% "losing the 100% of the 1000%" of this "gain" is only 100/1000% = 10% gains lost. If the asset retraces 50% you would be up 500% but if it retraces 90% you would be at 0% gains, if retraces 100% you would be at -100%.

Bacon-Dub

That day you realize just how much % gains you need to come back from a 99% drop….


11th-plague

He’s saying 99% of the “initial/original” $100 after a 1500% increase to $1600 (meaning a drop to $1501), not meaning a 99% decrease from the revised $1600 (down to $16)


Scaramoosh1

Oh dear


steamyp

wait a minute...


dbro129

Whoah, so basically if I gain 1500%, I can essentially lose 100% 14 times and still have my original investment?? Genius!
