Topic: Short selling Bitcoin (Read 403 times)

The correct answer is: BUY MORE! At first I was tempted just by the free coins (who would not?), but then I got caught up by the friendly community and history of the coin, which leads back to the year 2013. The current version is not the same, but a reboot with a lot of changes, and I really like what I have seen. You simply have to determine if you are just trying to grab and or invest, or if you believe in a project like this one, to participate and stick along. I mean, if you read about a dev-less self-sustaining crypto-currency that is powered by an AI named Jarvis and that does not require mining to stay operational with very low power requirements for block generation, who would not stop and take a deeper look? I honestly completely lost oversight with all the ICOs popping up like mushrooms, they all have interesting ideas, whitepapers, large teams and a lot of social media presence, but it makes a difference if you put in your money or if you get a head start with a rather large airdrop and a promising future. Reading more about Marinecoìn made me believe in the project in a way, that I intend to buy more coins after I already got the free airdrop coins. Getting the airdrop coins really was just the start, their proof of promotion requirement and the new ICO rules makes each member a lot more involved in their rapidly growing community, which also ensures a fair and decentralized distribution of the majority of the coins. If you believe in something and it has value to you, do not sell. So in fact the better answer to the OP question is to buy more and hodl! But why would someone even try to sell his coins after the ICO has finished? This does not make sense at all because it would only decrease the value. I do not think that you can make quick money that way, because how can the value of a coin even be determined right after the ICO has ended? Once a new coin has hit a DEX first and some stupid guys try to sell, value goes down for that reason only without evaluation of the project itself. Marinecoìn has their own exchange named F1CX.com where -MTC- can already be traded against Dogecoin, Lightcoin and Bitcoin, even though there are some rules in place to prevent grab and dump, so the price is not entirely influenced by that.

The Internet of Things is fast approaching requiring billions of machine to machine transactions that will all need processed.  Marinecoín, .MTC. has developed a high speed, zero transaction fee, blockchain specifically designed to meet the needs of this emerging industry.  Artificial intelligence will drive the blockchain freeing up developers to build IOT applications for the Marinecoín blockchain.  This DEV-less functioning of the chain will be guided by Jarvis, the AI engine.  Marine coin and iot are here to stay  They recently started an airdrop campaign where you can earn 20,000 .MTC. daily.  The coins are being rewarded with time dilution technology.  Take a look here at their website or search your favorite search engine for their website location if you would rather not follow links.   marineco.ín/ico

I think that at this point you should sell bitcoin, can see that bitcoin prices have suddenly increased $ 400 and now at the $ 8500 level. According to my technical analysis, the price of bitcoins is very big and difficult to break through, so I think you should sell bitcoin at this time so that you can save capital and minimize losses.

never knew about it(poloniex's Bitcoin margin) ?
as far as i remembered,they're only offering altcoins Short and Long position on their margin.
(i used it a few months ago from 2015 until 2016).
from my own experienced,they're only offering us a 'Lending' system instead on Bitcoin margin(short and long).

if you want to do that i have a few exchanges that may suit you well;
1.Kraken
2.Huobi(my favorite,i used it in 2016)
3.Bitfinex

I think Poloniex may have that feature. I used Poloniex a couple of years ago and they had margin trading but I never used that. I can’t say for sure if it included short selling or if it was just buying on margin.

Another option is shorting using a Bitcoin ETF. I think there are a couple of exchange traded funds through regular stock market trading available.

If you have enough patience to hold Bitcoin for a long time, you will probably be a millionaire, because BTCs never go down and they will rise again, and by the end of 2018 they will probably be over 25k. $. That's my personal guess.

you can short BTC without having cryptos using a Forex broker.
here is a good list: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/trading-forex-with-bitcoin-depositwithdraw-716530

For BTC futures contracts, if you think that BTC prices could fall, I also do not recommend shorting BTC, because the price of the BTC is not very stable, so will cause your loss if BTC suddenly rise.

this news deserves to be considered to invest in XRP, but in the ripple market has not shown a positive movement, I still think more deeply to invest in ripple

I suggest you invest in XRP, if you want to invest in the long term. because XRP is predicted to touch 10 $ in this year. read this if you want to see it https://ripplecoinnews.com/ripple-xrp-price-predictions

Seems the large majority of posters here have no idea what short selling means ...

Anyhow, I was wondering the same. I don't know what bitmex offers, but I probably will do soon a synthetic short, using one of the futures available.

Some exchanges that offer margin trading, like GDAX, might allow also short selling. But those I know require a certain volume (institutional accounts) which I don't yet qualify for.

Btw, just checked bitmex. They also don't offer shorting of bitcoin. They offer a contract on bitcoin that can be shorted, but I would be careful and look into the correlation between the two.

What are your talking about? Someone can explain it
I read, I do not understand)))
Topic is different, other comments

u might want to do it over BTC-USDT, there are some exchange that has that like bittrex.
just make sure be a healthy trader and dont go down far.
Day trade is the thing you want and it is very good thing to earn, but not all the time you will win so be careful.
i hope that you can have the buy before it goes with the rocket.

Is there any exchange where I can place some money on the books, and short sell Bitcoin?

Personally i use 1Fox , thy are the same owner as 1Broker. Never had any issue and leverage 5x

Marinecoin has good potential. It briefly had a larger marketcap than bitcoin some years ago. It now has a new team and good project. It is a self sustaining, light code, time tested block chain technology supported by artificial intelligence. It is dev-less and has a low energy footprint. MarineCoin is being revived with an ICO and 20000 free coins for each proof of promotion. It is a self sustaining network. Register at marineco.in and place request here marineco.in/ico for ICO

Many have good exchange in the crypto market. You can selling them your Bitcoin as your like that.but my suggest tell them good profit advice. You can got still holding and wait Bitcoin going up.

I think if you want short selling you can do it on any exchange but i suggest you to use Livecoin.net That exchange very user friendly with huge volume and yes you can place some money like USD on that.  

You can short sell bitcoin at almost any exchange, if you are interested in margin trading I would suggest you to use Bitmex, as it supports future contracts trading and also enables trading with large margins and the site has been going for really long and they proved being legit.

If you want to use regular exchange, I can suggest you to use Bitfinex/Bitstamp as they have the largest bitcoin volume and also supports margin trading up to 3X.
Careful while shorting bitcoin with margin as bitcoin is really volatility and with margin it is even more dangerous.

Poloniex for you
