So, as you all can see my trades are lucrative, I didn't buy my first bitcoins until it was approximately 1200.00 USD, but I knew I'd be playing catchup to guys that got in ultra early, like early enough to have hundreds of thousands of percent gains in bitcoin. Props to you folks, but I am just a trader and I don't care about cute little stories of fiat rags to crypto riches. I just trade my butt off, it works for me. In this chart we can see the the health of the crypto market is becoming evident. Right now at this moment I've never seen it look so grim, set your stop losses anything is possible but I look for reality not fantasy when I am looking at a chart.
Now to the title of this article! "Why buy when you can short it?" Well I really don't know why anyone would do that, you literally get it for free when you long or short it on sites like i.e. BITMEX.com. I don't need to 'purchase' bitcoin when I can just keep longing or shorting it. Now I have 10 times what I had in the beginning of the year and I didn't spend a dime. So again, why buy?
Don't copy my trade advise, this is not advice it is speculation, it is rhetoric, these are merely possibilities and thoughts.
I have a formula to win whether market goes up or down for more info PM me.
