How to hedge with Bitcoin

[zezt]

I would like to reach out to this community and ask about how to hedge with Bitcoin.

Is this a successful method of trading with Bitcoin?

Please answer me in great detail, as I am new to Bitcoin.

My experience stems from Forex trading only.

Thank You

if you're used to trading forex with high margin, then you'll love bitcoin for sure even without margin.

That is great! I used to trade Forex, but I am hooked on Bitcoin!

I agree, especially now with all of this price movement, there is a lot of pips out there!

What are you hedging exactly?

How exactly can you hedge with Bitcoin? You can buy low and sell high, but how do you profit when the price goes down?

Are you trying to hedge your investment in BTC?

There used to be a BTC options company, which would be a great way to do it but I think they went under (ended up scamming people).

I don't think you can actually hedge with Bitcoin. At least not how you can with currency pairs.

You could trade your BTC into BitUSD or NBT which are pegged to the USD.

oh please... promoting altcoins to a trader whos asking how to hedge bitcoin?

maybe bitfinex is for you. they allow margin trading (very low though) and you may shortsell to profit from a falling price.

Margin trading.. BitUSD.. you're exposed to risk either way you know.

It is a risky investment, as you said, the price may go down. If the price doesn't go up, you would ultimately lose your money. It simply isn't a way to profit without risk, in the long run, you are likely to lose you money.

buy and buy bitcoin, it will keep prices and make price increases

After the recent month or two i have hedged my Btc on the drops into Nubits and have made nice profit but you have to be quick and pretty sure to the level BTC is dropping to, i was not 100% obviously but had a gut feeling and went with it.

Also i do not like to promote other coins other than BTC but when it drops people seem to run to stellar and ripple so they go up, obviously profit to be made there also.

Hope this gives you some idea of what it can be hedged to and you take a look into it to see what you think.

Placing your money in a form of investment is already a risk itself, so if you are a newb in trading, you definitely want to learn something before diving and risking your money. Try to get as many information as you can before entering into the risky world of trading or you'll end up burning yourself.

[manselr]

Hedging is for cunts, you are basically betting something is going to be a failure and profit for it lol.

[ChuckBuck]

Not sure how you can hedge with Bitcoin in a traditional sense.

In a conceptual sense, I guess hedging on Bitcoin would be like betting on the "Don't Pass Line" in Craps.

I always hated those f#ckers that bet on Don't Pass and bet against the shooter...
