Wasn't me, but whoever was arguing with you was essentially right.

Dude...
That's not how it works

Shorting is basically a bet to the house where you say its going to go down a certain % in a certain period of time

If it does you get x times your position
If it dosent you get liquidated

I could ahort btc while still holding (would be dumb as if I assume its going down I would sell my BTC while making the short to buy back later, but there's multiple ppssible scenarios)

I dont even margin trade

Because in the first scenario, you don't own the asset, and you have to give it back eventually.

Ok let's get specific

While investors go long in expectation that the stock will appreciate in price, traders go short in anticipation that the stock will tumble. As noted earlier, short selling makes it possible to sell what one does not own. The short seller achieves this by borrowing the stock from a broker, and immediately selling the stock at its current market price, with the sale proceeds credited to the short seller’s margin account. At a future point in time, the short seller will cover the short position by buying it in the market and repaying the loaned stock to the broker.

So yes, you're selling, but you're technically taming a loan
From the same people that run the exchange
Hence, you're not really selling (even though you technically are), you're just BETTING it wil go down.

You're technically selling someone else's property bexause legally that goes as investing/lending and not as gambling, but in REALITY its the same

Don't bother trying to teach these guys. They're incapable of understanding anything but a naked short.

There is one fundamental difference between selling vs naked shorting by the way. Shorting in that way increases the outstanding supply of an asset, temporarily depressing the price. When closing that position, the price will naturally rise back up as supply is reduced.
Any significant selloff will cause that price depression, but if you were selling something you already had, you're not on the hook to buy it back.

It would take a much larger quantity than anyone here has for this effect to really matter in most markets anyway.

A does NOT equal B hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

So say that A represents selling long, and B represents selling short, and C represents the end result that you keep saying makes A and B the same thing.
In order to get to C, you must add something to A, mainly factors and conditions and the underlying definition of what A is and how it works mechanically. But what you add to B to get to C is different from what you add to A.

So A + x = C, and B + y = C, but now you're trying to say that A = C? HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHA

No.
EtherDelta is laggy sometimes so peple click BUY or SELL until they see the order in the order book.
You have 10 ETH.
You can send a buy order for 10 ETH n times even if you don't have 10*n ETH.
When someone completes the order the order orders are readjusted to 0 ETH I think.
But then If you transfer 10 ETH again the old orders are resumed to a full 10 ETH each, and so on.

In THEORY you are right. If you are selling a stock, you technically are "short" it, in The way that you believe the stock will go down. However short selling and selling are very different. Selling is just taking the price it's at now. Short selling is trying to make money on price dips.

I once saw a thread where a guy was saying that crypto was a scam because there is literally no way to cash out. That was a good thread. What made it even more hilarious was that people were saying things like "why would you want to cash out" or "dude just get a bitcoin credit card" which made the OP's retarded ass argument look even more credible.

And every time someone tried to show screenshots of them cashing out and money being deposited into their accounts, he would say it was photoshopped and that they were paid shills. And when people tried linking him to exchanges that let you cash out directly to your bank account, he would just say that those were all scams and if you actually tried to cash out it wouldn't let you.

Is that profit per customer or revenue? He also goes from 1472 customers per qtr to 1472 per month.

You're entirely wrong.

Consider you have 1000 shares of stock X worth 1 USD. If you sell it, you walk away with 1000 USD.

Shorting it is like borrowing 1000 shares of stock X at a price of 1 USD, putting down 10 USD as collateral, if the price of X drops by one cent, you have to immediately liquidate your ten dollars and pay back the person you borrowed from.

You will end up with absolutely nothing. Shorting is like selling something you don't own.

>> No.4238423

>>4232498

I think what might have you confused is from the MARKETS POV, shorts are registered as sells because stock HAS been sold, but from YOUR POV, you borrowed that stock. It's like saying getting a mortgage and buying a house are the same thing because the person selling the house gets paid...

Shorting is **literally** selling something you don't own. That said, "short" has been a term recently used more loosely to mean taking profit of downtrends (which can mean short selling or can also mean ordinary selling to accumulate). Not *technically* correct, but still not completely inappropriate either

You bought 10 btc at 7500. Figured you fucked up coz its gonna crash soon.
1 - sell at 7500 = no profit
2 - short (use 10 btc/$75000 as collateral and sell borrowed 90 btc) = btc crashes = $$$ fucking profit $$$ (the more it drops, the better for you)
