Who knows in the short term which way the price will blow. But after a 76% decline good luck with that.

you should know that historically bitcoin has never dropped below the previous ATH of the last bubble. so in this instance that would be the april 2013 peak of $266. i highly doubt it will act differently this time.

If I were a gambling man, I would rather go short then long with the recent price action.

Ever rally gets sold off.

Only reason price is at this level is due to short coverings.

I definitely believe it could drop further, but that's a hefty risk shorting 10BTC after all this support in the mid 300 price. I think it's more likely to slowly rise than to fall. But who knows this is bitcoin!

Very true... the price swings will be too crazy now & he will probably lose all his collateral

Im glad I dont know the ins and outs of short and long postitions. I know what they are, but I dont know how to "bet" shorting or long positions. Ill probably learn one day, but ill have to make sure I dont have access to my coins. but shorting 10 coins, not sure how much you are going to lose or win, but Id say that was a very ballsy bet.

bitcoin does not give a slightest crap about how much dollars people are giving it away for. really, does not. you or he or bill gates can not kill it by shorting, don't worry. a guy with 30+k of shorting didn't make anything but a tiny one-day dent in the price, and bitcoin-the-idea didn't even notice he ever existed. if bitcoin-the-idea survived mtGox - the million coin scam op - others are just peanuts.

Never trade with leverage in a flat market and NEVER short in a flat market.

Even if the market does end up going your way in the end (and I believe that it will), you will get shaken out of that position, I can almost practically guarantee it.

Kraken Account, Robbed/Emptied. Kraken say "Fuck you, its your loss": https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1559553.msg15656643#msg15656643

Bitfinex victims. DO NOT TOUCH THE BFX TOKEN! Start moving it around, or trading it, and you will be construed as having accepted it as an alternative means of payment to your USD, BTC, etc.

I can only agree on this one.

Thankfully Matt I don't listen to a single word of your advice. Infact, doing the opposite of your advice is a pre requisite for me.

So the price has moved down a little since I took the position, but other than that no big changes. I'm waiting for a break downwards. I'm thinking of donating my profit to a charitable cause, please feel free to post your suggestions.
