Are there any instruments to short BTC/USD? If we remember correctly, Bill Gates has said he would short bitcoin if there was a way.
Of course there is a way, and if they couldn't find it then they weren't looking hard enough. Visit https://www.bitmex.com/ and you will be able to leverage up to 100x. Pretty intense and do your research before entering the ring that is leveraging.

I lost 2 bitcoins in a futures trade, which is very risky, and some transactions are manipulated all the time. If you intend to do so, you try not to put too much coins into it.

You need to look at the previous price history of bitcoin, in it you'll see massive red candles and massive green candles.

Funnily enough, these candles correlate with the amount of bitcoin longs and shorts often. When the numbers of shorts seem to be getting super high, the price of bitcoin jumps up a lot, and when the amount of longs get high, the price drops.

I've read a few other people's theories that this is manipulation by exchanges so they can gain a profit during the downward trend, however this cannot be proven.

My favorite charts that have recently sprouted up are the Simpsons charts, like when the price jumps up a ton, goes a bit sideways for a bit, then drops back down. That's a classic Bart formation.

In my opinion there's way too much sketchy stuff going on with futures exchanges, and it seems like its essentially rolling a dice at this point. Way too much gambling for me.

when there are futures there are also both short and long futures. Shall I do a study on that? If no one brings any input there are now many good reasons for bitcoin dehype
