Can you short bitcoin?
Can you short bitcoin?
not sure if you can. But you will get ass raped. Its going to keep going up for at least another week maybe 2. Its all about timimg
Borrow bitcoin from someone, convert right now into $. At end of term, buy original bitcoins + interest with $.
O'rely
"Third, because Bitcoin is not state-linked and thus fluctuates in value"
I don't even.
I have zero clue on the timing. But I can 100% guarantee that anyone that comes into this at this stage and buys now, will see the value of BTC be significantly less than it is today.
And those people that buy at the peak always want out when the prices come down. And at that point they will have lost money. In the coming weeks to months I can guarantee you will hear guys crying about how they lost money in BTC.
EDIT: Very Short term BTC will continue to increase due to the criminal bankers (why you could get raped for shorting right now, if you could ) being under the spotlight. Once the media stops focusing on them is when the freefall starts
The story about the Bitcoin ATM in Cyprus looks like it was just a publicity stunt: Bogus Cyprus ATM Story - Business Insider
Not that it will never happen, but there are no bitcoin ATM's in Cyprus or anywhere else for that matter.
Its going to be a long way down.
I always like to remind people that even risk free interest compounded over a suffiencly long period will have a parabolic chart. 95% of the time what seems like a bubble isn't. also bitcoins are a pain in the ass to sell in large volume, unlike stocks, and this is probably helping to prop the price.
$200 soon..then 500..etc
There no limits to these coins until they have all been mined and owning a coin is the same as owning a fancy car, diamond or some other exclusive, rare status symbol.
~Jeffrey TuckerBitcoin assigned property rights to each unit of exchange and made that ownership a major feature of the software itself. In other words, Bitcoin used computer code to reject what is seemingly the key advantage of computer code: its status as a nonscarce good. Instead, it built scarcity into the code. Incredible, isn’t it? What’s more, the integrity of the system itself doesn’t depend on a single institution like a central bank or one big corporation, but instead operates in a completely decentralized way, peer to peer. There are no money masters and no money slaves.
