Who earns from a coin dump?

Just to understand, I do not see the possibility of short selling on exchanges...

poloniex has margin trading

(and so many others)

is leverage trading, not short selling ..or I wrong?

Anyone that sold high and buy more coins when it drops or anyone that buy when it dumps and sell when its price increased profit from a dump. Is that your question ?

There is big opportunity in shorting now.
You have to get a strong hand and heart.
Trading is high risk,
Sorting is higher.

they borrow ETH, sell it and buy it back later at cheaper price = profit. Thats how shorting works.
Its not possible with every coin on Polo, Bittrex..., but the other alts are affected by the major trading currencies, cuz of panic selling, so they fall aswell.

In Poloniex, you can borrow ETH and sell then buy them back.

if we are familiar with margin trading, i think we can make profit from this but for margin trading, we need big fund to start and its too risky for traders which don't know about trading or have less knowledge. i think its better to trading like usual and search good coins and do buy order than doing margin trading.

With shorts the risk is higher but the gains is higher but with longs the risk is minnor due to quickly flows at market.

You can borrow coins from the exchange and sell it. Then you buy it back at a lower price.

Whales. Whales do earn a lot of money from coin dummp because before that, they have collected a huge amount of coins and then, they are the ones who start dumping those coin for profit. MOreover, during the dump, they will collect many coins to start and new "Pump n Dump" round

if you can not hold any longer, then maybe short is your best option so you can buy in lower price but for me, i think its good to still holding coins while the price is down and maybe i will buy in lower price again. or if you are trading in poloniex, you can find there is a lending option to lend your coin if you want to make another coins because i think it might be work for you.

Actually this is a type of logical trading condition , Most of the times a particular coin get pumps but due to our non understanding and lack of experience we can't buy them before rise in the price , so we need to buy them during rise in the market , but when we bought at 100 satoshi and then if it get down to 80 satoshi then it is a chance to buy more again and if it again get dumped then again we should buy because in this condition we can make earnings ( if market of that coin get rise ).
But I think this is a risky trading or long time trading job in this condition during the down of the price and sudden buy .

The ones who see it as a long term investing or the ones use different trade options.

Can you give us any reason?

Margin trading is very useful to make profit from a coin dump or in a general crash but it is always very risky , you can earn a lot but lose a lot of money in one night

Doing Short aka Sell and Long aka Buy in trading are really good to get profit,
but other than that also it's really bad if you get loses from it because with this you can get profit 2x from your total capital or 2x loses from yourr total capital.
everything have their advantages and disadvantages.
in normal way,nobody will earn anything while the price goes down,
but the whales get a lot of more supplies and will be the one who will get a lot of profit when the prices is up

It must be whales as always. They love to hold more coin as far as I can see. They keep dumping the price to create panic for people and buy more coins, making his/her wallets bigger.

Those canny enough to buy when the value of the coin is at its lowest. Taking a long term position is always the best, but when the price dips, it is important not to panic and study the situation with a clear head. Buying when it dips is always profitable, but that cannot be said for every coin. Some coins when dumped tanks, and its best to cut losses.
