Honest and really dumb question. I never tether'd up because I didn't believe in it, but isn't that the only way to sell high and buy low instead of jumping on whatever altcoin gains next?

SHORTING, or SHORT SELLING by definition implies leverage. You need to borrow to short. If you simply sell the stock or currency you own you are not shorting, you are SELLING.

Is it really that hard to grasp?

Hes right you mong, tethering up is shorting without leverage, what do you think happens when you short? You sell and buy back later.

No it is not. You stupid fuck.

When you are shorting, you are putting money in a short position. When you are selling, you are selling a stock. How is that hard grasp for you? Or you are too much of a vagina to short anymore more than x2 therefore you need to justify that shorting is the same as selling? Even the Investopedia definition contradicts your argument. You smell like shit. You have no valid stand. Fuck off and never come back. You low IQ mongrel.

Oldfag, right, good one. Hell you're probably fresh from reddit and found /biz/ recently when someone talked about it there. If you truly believe selling equals shorting then you must be a very very new fag. Of course you could be an older fag who's just bored and baiting for cheap lulz.
