Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / BCH can now be shorted on Bitfinex

Deposits are still locked on most exchanges.
Gents, if you have tons of BCH in cold storage unable to move since Western exchanges haven't allowed deposits, you can short an equal amount you have in cold storage on Bitfinex to hedge your position.
So essentially, you will hedge your profits before deposits are enabled and the huge hoard of sellers dump their stash. Or that's what they're saying will happen.

Possibly related, 1h ago: Greece detains Russian Alexander Vinnik for bitcoin 'fraud'ATHENS, July 26 (Reuters) - A Russian arrested in Greece on suspicion of running a money laundering operation through a bitcoin platform is 38 year old Alexander Vinnik, police sources said on Wednesday.

Economy / Speculation / Bitfinex: Short > Long positions (Will end violently)
|
on: February 16, 2017, 02:36:05 PM

Current Price BFX $1040. Just noting, that in BFX's history there has never been more short sellers in dollar amount than longs. Also note, 90% are under water with the average being somewhere around $950'ish. So, it seems they are betting on past history. Every time Bitcoin enters $1000+ it crashes violently. However, like the old saying goes: "Past performance is not indicative of future results." Another theory, is that Bitmex sentiment suggests a 30% chance of the Winklevoss ETF passing as we approach the final March 11 2017 deadline. So after an expected ETF rejection by the SEC, lots betting that Bitcoin will crash a few hundred. CSO of Bitfinex was on whalepool chat saying they would protect short sellers in case of cascading margin calls to the upside. Whatever the case, this does not look to end well.

http://drcraigwright.net/  I'm Sorry. I believed I could do this. I believed that I could put years of anonymity and hiding behind me. But, as the events of this week unfolded and I prepared to publish the proof of access to the earliest keys, I broke. I do not have the courage. I cannot. When the rumors began, my qualifications and character were attacked. When those allegations were proven false, new allegations have already begun. I know now that I am not strong enough for this. I know that his weakness will cause great damage to those that have supported me, and particularly to Jon Matonis and Gavin Anderson. I can only hope that their honour and credibility is not irreparably tainted by my actions. They were not deceived, but I know that the world will never believe that now. I can only say I'm sorry. And goodbye.

Economy / Speculation / Black Friday | Cyber Monday dump to FIAT, a concern?
|

We are approaching the first Black Friday where Bitcoin will be accepted at Dell, Newegg, Overstock, Tiger Direct, Gyft, Expedia, among others... Just curious if there is a concern of huge dumping of BTC during the conversion to FIAT? I don't believe there is an incentive to buy Bitcoin in order to spend it on Black Friday (due to the added costs of at least 1% more at Coinbase & Circle). It's more likely that long time holders (hodlers) might be tempted to let go of some BTC in order to take advantage of the promotions.  |
