That's the obvious thing to do to fix the fucking mess. Of course, it won't happen.

No short selling = No bear market

Derivatives as they are now are out of control and need to be reined in tho

it wouldn't matter one bit because 90% of all assets are held by like 5 entities and 99% of cash reserves are held by the banks, meaning that both sides of the scale are completely compromised and a very small group of people have complete control over asset prices and they absolutely use their advantage to the fullest extent so there's nothing it would fix except making micro caps more volatile.

Bear markets will exist as long as capitalism existed. Or if it wasn't capitalism then whatever that boom bust fake economy was in 1700

Reminder to everyone if you have coins on an exchange you are in a pseudo short position. The coins are IOUs and these IOUs artificially increase supply and make your coins worth less then they should be. The exchange uses the real tokens you deposited to make profit off of and usually do by opening short positions also. If everybody made a concious effort to stop using the CEX’s then we’d go on a bullrun

that's fucking idiotic, a balance sheet liability is not a "pseudo short"

No, it's an important check on the irrational run away behavior markets tend to do. The ability to short sell speeds up market corrections.
