Thank you everybody for the replies.
For the record, it's not that I feel any way about shorting, I'm just testing the waters. The explanation I had didn't make sense to me, now I know the whole thing is much bigger and more complex than I thought.
I haven't posted on this board so far, so for those that don't know me, I'm a newbie,
I will totally disagree with you indecencies that you are full member not even an ordinary member, for you to become a full member you have possessed 140 activities which is approximately six months, so you are not a newbie
And then I was convinced there was nobody crazier than me...
In any case, I registered on October 28

and as green as can be expected. I've been trying to learn as much as I can, watching videos, and reading anything I can get my hands on. As of late, I watched a video on short selling a gazillion times, but I just can't wrap my mind around it. It just doesn't make any sense to me.
Yes, i support you via learning on your own and this will give you much insight to learn more, watching videos and making other research will activate you level of notifying your error.
Thank you. It'd probably be easier if I had some previous knowledge on another form of trading, like stocks or forex, but I'm literally new to the whole thing. Up until mid October I was convinced crypto was a "scam"...
