Welcome newfriend. It's simple really:

Short = buying a small or "short" amount of coins

Long = buying a large or "long" amount of coins

So if someone says they are "shorting ETH", it means they are buying a relatively small or "short" amount of ETH, typically between 1-10 ETH.

Jesus I thought you guys were memeing, but evidently you literally don't know what shorting is. Utilize search engines in the future before talking out your asses

with a long you have to hold for at least 24 hrs, but if it goes up then you get a 2% bonus on top of your gains.

a short can be sold anytime.

Long position is when the trade takes place far away, like when you tell someone "Go Long" and throw a football at them. Short positions are when you're investing in shorts, short-shorts, jorts, things like that.
