Short will create a disruption. You would see troubled merchants because of that. 
There wouldn't really be a market if everyone had the same opinion now would it?
Right. If everyone is bull, there won't be seller and the price will go up the roof and vice versa.
Maybe wait the fall, then borrow money and buy bitcoin, then wait the recover? Its way easier borrow fiat than bitcoin, as far I know.
Thanks for your good advice. All I think is this year will go down, just to shake out the inpatients. I don't know about longer term. Long term maybe up huge or go to zero.

Or do you think we'll see no recover?
Borrow bitcoin betting on fall is a ball of titanium move due to the history of big bitcoin price jumps, and because the interests on bitcoins are quite big.

The more people accept USD, the more zimbabwean dollars I will buy! Because I am contrarian! 
but no, really, good luck shorting bitcoin. you may even profit if you reverse to long in a timely manner. unfortunately, I don't think it will happen and you will lose all, but you will get a lesson out of it! (NEVER SHORT BITCOIN <- that one).

The more people believes in bitcoin, the more I want to short.
The more people believed in Apple, the more you did want to short?
Good luck.

Ah, now I understand. Even though I personally loathe the word 'troll' it does sum up faggot bitches like you.
I don't know if it is a good idea to borrow BTC .... how will you pay your debt if the price goes up?
As long as it doesn't go too fast, then it's just standard losses much like going long when the price goes down. However, in the event that it moves too fast, it means forced liquidation and possible total loss with a slight possibility of owing some amount back to BFX (how they collect on such a thing is beyond me)
Edit: I was short until this last spike down. I covered at $590 and plan to short again after a small retrace. This assuming everything remains on schedule

I think bitcoin will go to below $200.
I don't think so. Maybe 200-250 USD, and it will be the new 2 USD.
Bitfinex allows short positions in bitcoin but I don't think many people have short positions. Q
A good time to short bitcoin when everyone is focusing their attention on Ethereum.
No.
My experience with shorting Bitcoin is to profit handsomely, at the expense of the shorts from their failed bear raids on Bitcoin. I am talking of course about pirateat40 who in late 2011 and 2012 built a massive BTC short position that had the effect of depressing prices, keeping prices in the 2 USD per BTC to 10 USD per BTC. Those of us who bought at those prices and took delivery of our BTC are now sitting on very substantial profits. When pirateat40's massive short pyramid collapsed the BTC / USD rate rose sharply in 2013 taking out a few other shorts in the process including I suspect MTGox. Taking delivery is by the way the most effective way to squeeze the shorts to the wall and increase the profitability of the longs.
So I say go ahead and short, there are those of us ready to profit from taking the long position even if the shorts manage to temporarily drop the price to 200 USD. If you do go ahead and short BTC there is a good chance you may need the services of a bankruptcy trustee.
This should not be considered financial advice.
