Operation There's no compelling reason to do it for me additionally on the grounds that before the cost of the coins here turn out to be extremely high yet it's require investment so I say you just need to purchase/offer in that time even no edge you can without much of a stretch snap you telephone to sell.I believe there's no compelling reason to edge your coins in light of the fact that the cost is extremely unpredictable so for me ig depends of the circumstance of the coins like if the coins remain just in the cost of 0.004 btc to 0.0048 btc as it were.
Major risk of short selling is the fear of infinite losses. While the maximum loss for a long investor is the amount invested in a security, the maximum loss for a short seller is theoretically infinite, since there is no upper limit to a stock’s price appreciation. This risk is compounded by the fact that during a short squeeze or buy-in, the short seller may be forced to cover the short position at an artificially high price that may only be temporary in nature.
Good explanation, actually there is another type of FOMO, for example I didn't short BCN in time and I lost my 3/4 money on that, it's ok cuz the money is very little, but everybody need to know the right time for short or long, which is impossible, so there must be losing traders who feeds winning traders always.It's called gambling my friend, we all know it's a risk but it's a high risk/ high reward risk.
The risk of shorting is greater. If you are a newbie and want to go short to get more coins, the failure rate will be higher in the big case, unless you are very lucky.
I think it is better not to be short.

There is a time and place for everything but, I would not be shorting right now.
IMO, shorting is a tool to earn money during for traders. If you are know what you are doing, you could have earn good profits by shorting, especially during the time when a coin is dumping.
Of course, some people will make money from it, but as a general rule of thumb, you shouldn't. Unless you are a professional like you mentioned.

It is not very liquid to open a short position today, because bitcoin today has bullish sentiments, so it's not necessary to talk about short positions, if we talk about margin trading, then only about long positions on growth. But this is just my opinion and I do not call anyone to do it, so do not listen to me
Shorting is such a normal thing in that area. It is not bad if you know what you are doing, also it is an experience if you do wrong
Day trading is a very dangerous occupation because it requires strong nerves, and a focus on the process of trading throughout the day 
Shorting is a very risky procedure or operation, call it what you want, but it's more like a casino, because the margin trading on the stock exchange is really the most like a casino, it's better never to do it, because the exchange will not lose.
I prefer to invest in the medium term, I try to buy coins when they are at the bottom of the stock exchange and keep to a high price.
Futures markets are very hard to make money, although the big trend is down, but you are also likely to lose money.
the short sale of a stock means to bet on stock price descending. Before taking on this investment, so should fully understand the danger of this because I hurry you more you never realize what my significance as determined.
Why not earn on margin trading and shorting bitcoin when i know it will go down for sure,its a way for me to earn even on the price fall out like we had after futures as everyone knew that price will go down and they just stand and watch while they lose money...Yes margin trading isnt for everyone but when you learn how it works its a good way to earn on price action
Correct, it's not for n00bs you have to be in this space for quite some time and don't think you can jump from a stock or forex market and be able to play in this sandbox.
For people who can do it and especially for people who already have experience in shorting - this is the best way to check their skill and earn extra money on falling market
But most people of those who read this topic and write hear(most, not all) - they are not that kind of people.
And imo we should warn them to save their money and not try shorting if thay even cant trade normally
