Anyway it's pretty clear he isn't "shorting" as most of us would define it, so his idea of covering his shorts probably just means he will stop buying, not buy to return borrowed BTC.

I refuse your definition http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Short_%28finance%29 the practice of selling securities or other financial instruments, with the intention of subsequently repurchasing them ("covering") at a lower price. In the event of an interim price decline, the short seller will profit, since the cost of repurchase will be less than the proceeds received upon the initial (short) sale. Last try, then I give up... The wikipedia page also says : " The potential loss on a short sale is theoretically unlimited in the event of an unlimited rise in the price of the instrument, however in practice the short seller will be required to post margin or collateral to cover losses, and any inability to do so on a timely basis would cause its broker or counterparty to liquidate the position." Now: if you just sold stuff that you already own, there wouldn't be theoretically unlimited losses (it says "losses", not "absence of profit"). Moreover: if you just sold stuff that you already own: why would you have to give a broker collateral? And how could he "liquidate your position"? Would he randomly decide at some point to buy shares or bitcoins that you sold before, just for the fun of it? Do you see how nonsensical all of this sounds without the assumption that you are selling something that you didn't own in the first place?

Impress your friends! Instead of "selling" do a "covered short"! And why base yourself in obsolete fiat currencies? Buying bitcoin is soooo prosaic. Instead you'll want to do a covered short sale of USD. ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) Very sad ![Sad](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/sad.gif) that my little "trick" went unnoticed... so I'll spell it out. Recheck the wiki page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Short_%28finance%29In finance short selling (also known as shorting or going short) is the practice of selling securities or other financial instruments that are not currently owned, with the intention of subsequently repurchasing them ("covering") at a lower price. In the event of an interim price decline, the short seller will profit, since the cost of repurchase will be less than the proceeds received upon the initial (short) sale.
