That time when I opened a long position with a friend, we discussed it together and thought the market was right to enter. As a result, it plummeted and we lost quite a bit. Later, he changed the way he spoke to me, and the meaning was very obvious.
This matter was my fault. I wanted to explain at the time but found that I had nothing to present.
This feeling is familiar—it's not the first time that a verbally discussed matter went wrong, and the person who ends up unable to clarify is always the one who takes the blame.
The EthSign for @SignOfficial solves this problem of unclear post-decision communication in joint decisions.
If at that time our decision to go long had been documented through EthSign with an on-chain record confirming the entry price, position ratio, stop-loss conditions, and timestamps of both signatures written down,
After the loss, he wanted to push all the blame onto me, but the on-chain record clearly states that at that moment we both confirmed it together. It’s not just what I said; it’s written on-chain.
The attestation mechanism of Sign Protocol turns this matter of two people making a decision together from a conversation that disappeared in voice into an independently existing verifiable record on-chain. Joint decision-making means both parties' signatures are there on-chain.
Neither party can later absolve themselves of responsibility alone.
Of course, friends making trading decisions wouldn’t think to sign an on-chain agreement.
But after that sharp decline, what bothered me most was not the loss itself, but the fact that something discussed together ended up being my fault alone.
If there had been a record at that time, at least we would be facing the same outcome, not just me carrying it alone.
