🐸 #33: Andrew Tate Is Done: Liquidated and Sitting at Absolute Zero

Sup fellow degens, 

Andrew Tate, the Bugatti-driving, cigar-chomping guru of grind, just got served a steaming plate of liquidation.

Is he the worst trader of all time or he has some sort of strategy that keeps him profitable?

Let’s look at it.

If you’ve been watching Andrew Tate’s crypto journey, you already know that people claim he might be the worst trader of all time (after James Wynn ofc).

He jumps into the market with reckless leverage, gets blown out instantly, and then turns the entire thing into a media victory lap.

It made me think: The liquidation itself isn’t the interesting part.

Anyone who trades with that kind of exposure gets nuked eventually for obvious reasons. The real spectacle is how openly he treats the whole process as just another piece of content to pump through his machine.

Let’s be honest: nothing about Tate’s trading resembles an actual attempt to manage risk, preserve capital, or build any long-term profit stream. He isn’t trading for financial gain. He’s trading for eyeballs.

He knows exactly what high leverage does. He may be a degenerate in the gambling space but he’s far from an idiot in the media one.

Anyone who has spent more than five minutes on a derivatives exchange knows what it does.

You’re opening a position with a countdown timer strapped to it. One minor move against you, and the exchange hits the kill switch. It’s the rulebook.

So when he piles into a massive leveraged Bitcoin position during a choppy week, it’s because a blow-up is almost guaranteed, and a blow-up is loud.

Every liquidation is an excuse to spin another narrative about resilience, haters are gonna hate, everyone is a pussy, the world is trying to crush him, and his ability to shrug off losses like they’re lint on his shirt.

“I don’t care! I STILL HAVE 11 CARS and I EARN MILLIONS A DAY”

He doesn’t need trading wins when the real payoff comes from keeping his audience locked in and entertained.

And here’s the unavoidable truth: losing huge sums doesn’t matter much to him because his actual revenue doesn’t come from trading.

It comes from the empire of subscriptions, courses, brand theatrics, and the constant demand to stay visible. In that environment, a trading loss isn’t a failure but a marketing expense.

It fuels the storyline: the bold, fearless figure who jumps into volatile markets without hesitation. People love watching public losses almost as much as public wins, and he knows that perfectly well.

What bothers me isn’t the loss itself. It’s the way he pretends the liquidation is some kind of badge of honor. There’s nothing respectable about ignoring basic risk control.

And ultimately, he also makes other degens lose their hard-earned money. Thousands of people who follow his example.

Don’t call me a moralist but degeneracy has its own boundaries too.

There’s nothing impressive about watching an account implode, because you set it up to implode. It’s spectacle for spectacle’s sake, and he’s fully aware his fans will take it as proof of strength instead of what it is: indifference toward the money because the money isn’t the point.

In the end, he’ll keep doing it. He’ll keep opening oversized positions, keep blowing them up, keep posting the aftermath like it’s part of his greatness.

The pattern won’t change because the outcome isn’t a problem for him. It’s the product. And as long as people keep watching, he’ll keep feeding them exactly this kind of self-made chaos.

So no, he is not “the worst trader of all time”, cuz he is not a real trader, but a clown.

TL;DR: Tate’s wipeout wasn’t bad luck but a predictable result of reckless leverage he uses for attention, not profit. The losses don’t matter because the real money comes from his brand, not his trades.

Stay degen,

Dima
