Title: How to hedge with Bitcoin Post by: zezt on January 27, 2015, 10:59:50 AM I would like to reach out to this community and ask about how to hedge with Bitcoin.
Is this a successful method of trading with Bitcoin? Please answer me in great detail, as I am new to Bitcoin. My experience stems from Forex trading only. Thank You Title: Re: How to hedge with Bitcoin Post by: tokeweed on January 27, 2015, 11:08:29 AM if you're used to trading forex with high margin, then you'll love bitcoin for sure even without margin. :)

There used to be a BTC options company, which would be a great way to do it but I think they went under (ended up scamming people). Title: Re: How to hedge with Bitcoin Post by: coinz19 on February 02, 2015, 06:54:08 PM I don't think you can actually hedge with Bitcoin. At least not how you can with currency pairs.

Margin trading.. BitUSD.. you're exposed to risk either way you know. Title: Re: How to hedge with Bitcoin Post by: ranochigo on February 07, 2015, 03:41:21 AM How exactly can you hedge with Bitcoin? You can buy low and sell high, but how do you profit when the price goes down? It is a risky investment, as you said, the price may go down. If the price doesn't go up, you would ultimately lose your money. It simply isn't a way to profit without risk, in the long run, you are likely to lose you money.Title: Re: How to hedge with Bitcoin Post by: ronaldo40 on February 08, 2015, 12:05:45 PM buy and buy bitcoin, it will keep prices and make price increases :)
Title: Re: How to hedge with Bitcoin Post by: deluxeCITY on February 08, 2015, 12:14:51 PM After the recent month or two i have hedged my Btc on the drops into Nubits and have made nice profit but you have to be quick and pretty sure to the level BTC is dropping to, i was not 100% obviously but had a gut feeling and went with it.
Also i do not like to promote other coins other than BTC but when it drops people seem to run to stellar and ripple so they go up, obviously profit to be made there also. Hope this gives you some idea of what it can be hedged to and you take a look into it to see what you think.

Try to get as many information as you can before entering into the risky world of trading or you'll end up burning yourself.

Title: Re: How to hedge with Bitcoin Post by: ChuckBuck on February 09, 2015, 05:42:28 PM Not sure how you can hedge with Bitcoin in a traditional sense.
In a conceptual sense, I guess hedging on Bitcoin would be like betting on the "Don't Pass Line" in Craps. I always hated those f#ckers that bet on Don't Pass and bet against the shooter... 8) |
