Title: Shorting Bitcoin now possible Post by: ukuna on May 24, 2013, 04:31:29 PM http://bpoblog.com/shorting-bitcoin/
Title: Re: Shorting Bitcoin now possible Post by: WeedGrassDope on May 24, 2013, 10:00:23 PM Even if it works as planned, the big issue is trust. Once they have your BTC, will they give them back to you? Offshore Forex firms are known to rip off customers because there's nothing they can do about it. Same risk applies here.

If you are truly "short" then you must have borrowed the BTC from someone to sell it, otherwise what this is offering is simply a synthetic bet on some exchanges reference price of BTC. As the poster above mentioned there are serious trust requirements for this type of project.
