Title: Is there any way to short BTC?
Post by: Marlo Stanfield on June 13, 2014, 04:15:23 PM
Other than actually taking a loan from someone denominated in BTC of course.

I think I remember Bitcoinica offering this did they not? And has any other company picked up the slack since they went away?

What are the AML/KYC requirements like?

Does it need proof of address?

I don't remember exactly because I verified my account long time ago, but I think you have to fill in a form or something like that.

Have you withdrawn without sending in any scans? I don't have a problem with forms and such but I live in a country where I can't get my address in english on a bill. So that always causes problems for me.
