You can look it as buying the other side.
>BTCUSD
Shorting BTC = Buying USD
Your betting on stronger dollar over bitcoin.

Shorting AUDUSD = betting higher USD

What do you mean with that? How can something like shorting be jewish? It has nothing to do with their religion so I don't get how you try to make a connection here.

It just means you borrow assets instead of money. You sell them at a certain price and then buy them at their value when they're cheaper, meaning that you pocket the difference.

So, pencils are $1 each now, but I think they'll be 50c in the future. I borrow 100 pencils and sell them at $100, I'm now "short" and I owe you 100 pencils. then their price declines to 50c, so I buy 100 pencils at 50c each and give them back to you. I'm now $50 richer.

It's risky as fuck though because the pencils i borrowed and sold at $1 each might rise in price and become $2. I still have to pay back the 100 pencils I borrowed, but now I have to spend $200, making me lose $100. This is fine when we're talking $100 or $200 but financial corporations do it with hundreds of millions of dollars because they're cocky coke snorting yuppie pieces of shit who think they're untouchable.

This is what happened with Gamestop and why it scared the financial industry so badly, because it meant that large-scale shorting was now riskier because the internet might catch wind of their shorting and pump the stock price as a crowd-sourced collective, forcing them to buy the stocks back higher which would fucking bankrupt them. I tried to buy GME stock and was outright prevented from doing it by my bank, they gave me some weak-ass line about trade tariffs or some shit which were never ever a fucking problem previously.

Shorting is an important component of a sane market. Shorts help ensure prices are more realistic, mitigate bubbles, and more.

It is in theory not jewish but since it is secretive and you can naked short, which is counterfeiting, it is pretty jewish.

We aren't actually fudding the coin for any other reason than dev fuckups and that. There is nothing inminently wrong with it right now and most of the vinubros tell that when they fudd it, which means the fudd isn't actually fudd, it's constructive criticism. Even with that, we win.
