Title: Short bitcoin...anyone want to take a long for my short?!?
Post by: muskles on December 06, 2013, 03:44:48 PM


Anyone out there interested in taking a long position for my short?  Based on today's spot price on coinbase, I'm willing to go short base on the same time next Friday 12/13/2013.

How will we keep each other accountable?!?  No scams please!!!

If the price goes up base on this time next Friday, I pay you BTC equivalent.  If price goes down, you pay me the difference.

Anyone game?

You need to send Bitcoins to escrow (the taker too)

We would both need to provide our BTC addresses and have the forum verify the funds have transferred based on which way the transaction went.

I would only do something like this with someone who is respected on this forum, btw.

We have to keep the accountability!!

problem is: you're a newbie, so nobody will trust you.

i suggest an escrow service.

Are there any big names in this forum who would be willing to create an escrow for this transaction?  They have to be honest and reliable.
