Here's the math nobody wants to talk about:
Every altcoin has a volatility multiplier on $BTC — and it cuts both ways.
$ETH moves ~1.3x Bitcoin
$SOL ~1.4x
$BNB ~1.45x
Mid-caps like $HYPE? Around 6x
Everyone dreams about catching that 6x on the way up.
Almost nobody sizes their position for that same 6x on the way down.
That's the game. You want the upside multiplier? You're automatically signing up for the downside multiplier. No exceptions.
Most people blow up because they position like they're trading $BTC when they're actually holding something that moves 6x faster in both directions.
