- This would only be the "greatest trade ever" if they actually cash out, i.e. realise the paper profits. The other two examples of "greatest trades ever" did realise their profits. There are of course questions as to whether they could in this case.
- Assuming they could cash out and make $5bn, and if they did, who would the losers be? In the case of the George Soros trade, he made his billion at the expense of the British tax payers, who collectively had to pay an extra £3.3 billion taxes, and mortgage payers, who saw their interest rates shoot up to 15%. In this case, presumably it would be all the people who bought SHIB for a higher price than that at which it settles after cashing out, plus everyone else on the planet who suffers from the social, political and environmental fallout from cryptocurrencies. That $5bn would have to come from somewhere.
