Best way to short bitcoin

[VadimA]

Hi Fellas,

I'm trying to understand what would be the best way to short BTC. Do the exchanges allow to short BTC/USD?

you need to have btcusd in your account . you will short at 10x 20x leverage (okcoin)

ok - hold on a second. This doesn't make sense. Need to have BTC/USD in the account AND you get leverage? This is nonsensical. You either don't have BTC/USD in your account, but you can short and hence you get leverage; or you simply can't short at all.

BTC prices are down I think now is a good time to buy BTC and keep it on white paper.
If you sell it after segwit maybe you will get a big profit.
