In this segment, the presenter explains a Bitcoin trading technique called defensive scaling. He illustrates the method with a concrete example: buying Bitcoin at $31,000, then incrementally adding positions as the price fell, which lowered the average entry price. When the price reached approximately $23,000—a roughly 24% decline—the trader took profit, demonstrating that the strategy can capture downside volatility without needing to short the market. The speaker emphasizes his personal preference for defensive scaling over shorting, especially in Bitcoin’s volatile environment, and notes that the market began to rise again in 2023, setting the stage for future application of the approach.

$23. So you can just see just how beautifully it's capturing volatility there. It's just, it's just absolutely amazing. This is a good one here. We can see how we bought in at $31K and we took profit at around 24% lower in price. So you can see we defensive scaled in, bringing down our average price, and we took profit there at $23K. So again, this is a really amazing way to take, uh, to profit from trading without shorting the market. Personally, with a market like Bitcoin, I don't particularly like to short it, so I prefer to use defensive scaling instead. As you can see how incredibly well it works there. But here we go, we're just going through, just going through the months, going through the months. Where we up to? 2023. Now the market's starting to move up.
