The Best Cryptocurrencies to Short
Shorting a cryptocurrency basically means you’re betting on its failure. So let’s dig in and short some crypto
3. Theta
Theta has been on its way down for a while now. It still has some peaks, but it is very unlikely that it will come back from the dead.
2. Bitcoin Cash
Bitcoin Cash is basically programmed to be perfect for shorting. Eventually, unlimited Bitcoin Cash coins will be generated, making it effectively worthless.
1. Dogecoin
Do I have to say anymore? It’s on a VERY stable descent, and it’s EXTREMELY unlikely it could come back up.
But How Does Shorting Work?
Shorting goes something like this:
1. Borrowing something
Borrow your crypto
Or your stock
Or an iphone
2. Sell that something
Let’s say that the something you bought is worth $600
Well, when you sell it, you get $600 in you bank account
3. Buy it back for less
Now, you have $600 dollars in your bank account
If the asset has fallen to $450, you profit $150
4. Give the asset back
It’s that simple
Have a fantastic day (or night)
