larp

>>2449737
I m here from a month and still didn't get ebay shorting means

>>2449849
it means you cut your coins short, transfer them to fiat

>>2449864
At a loss? Why not just invest into other coins?

>>2449849
short means you sell with coins you don't have by borrowing money from the exchange

>>2450060
what?? how do you borrow money from the exchange?

>>2450051
yes

>>2450060
lol what the fuck that doesnt even make sense are you dumb or just a troll

>>2449737
>sold at 2500
>buy back at 2500 thinking it would stop falling
>it falls further down

well

>>2450090
in all seriousness, sites like bitfinex will let you borrow funds from other users at a low interest (but above 0.01% per day), you can sell those coins then pay back the loan after the coin crashed with a net profit

>>2450130
you have to have enough money at the exchange to never be able to default on your loans, though, so you need money before you can take loans

>>2450130
s/but above/bit above

>>2450147
Ah ok, I was gonna ask what happens if the coins you borrowed funds for crash and you can't pay back.

Actually it makes perfect sense. What he describing is shorting, selling on margin and profiting from something going down.

How does it feel knowing that YOU are actually the retard?

>>2450264
What does selling on margin mean

>>2450305
>what is margin
>what is shorting
>not knowing even the very basics of trading

>>2450666
you obviously dont know what margin trading is then. busted.

>>2450687
he totally doesn't know, he's just on this board to sound smart or he would have been able to explain it

Margin trading is using borrowed funds to trade with. Can't you fucking niggers use duckduckgo or investopedia?

>>2450101

Hi guys. You sound like streetwise intelligent gentlemen.

Would you be interested in buying some magic beans from me at 1270 satoshi per bean?

They are like bitbeans but rarer.

And short selling is a thing - you borrow coins from an exchange and immediately sell them. You promise to return them by a future time. You usually leave collateral on the exchange. If the loss ever becomes greater than a set amount then there is a "margin call" where the exchange liquidates your position, i.e. Cancels your trade and used all of your collateral to get their original investment back. However, if the market really does crash, you end up with a load of free coins and cash (you did risk losing everything though - eating shit if the market suddenly gains).

It's also know as leveraged trading, and an easy way to lose money.

>>2450879
ok

>>2450903
Magic beans on the other hand...

A top notch investment. Hey, I'll even throw in a free Lambo if you take 20,000,000 each.

>mfw so many people ITT have no idea what margin is or how short selling works
Wew fucking lad
Scariest part is that these people are going to try this and won't know how to handle the inevitable margin call. The severity of the ignorance of people in this market is stunning and pretty scary.
We're talking people who couldn't even google this shit. Most likely they didn't understand what terms to even be searching.

It really is a bubble. Double overtime for the next year
