Shorting makes 0 sense. Why would you buy something just to sell it right away? You can just wait until the drop is over and then buy and you'll probably make even better winnings.

Shorting and longing is like buying and selling, but with the immediate payoff difference being given to you rather than the good. It is good for speculation, whereas people who buy Bitcoin are investing into its protocol.

OP is a dumbass.
Short is basically borrowing
Then selling it right away.
then buy back at a cheaper price once the asset has dropped in price
You keep the profit.

Short is really just a loan you have to pay back bro. It's that simple. You'll make more money if you short on the way down and long on the way up...
