How to Earn on Bitcoin Price Failing ?

in #bitcoin7 years ago

I speak here a lot of easy ways to make money and i get questions - you speak about making profits when BTC fails. How is that possible.

This is a reply for less skilled or people who just want to try something new.

I will speak of base idea and platform that i use. Each platform has its own tutorials and more or less easy GUI to use so i wont be doing tutorial here just give base idea and places.

What is Shorting of an Asset

Short selling is the sale of a security that is not owned by the seller or that the seller has borrowed. Short selling is motivated by the belief that a security's price will decline, enabling it to be bought back at a lower price to make a profit.

So you need a platform which lends you more than you have so you can bet on "asset going down" and then take profits from it. Of course it can go opposite - then you lose.
For many people its obvious how you buy something at price X, it raises to X+2 and you sell. But shorting doesnt mean buying, it means betting with borrowed assets (of someone who ie bought) to bet it goes down (just in short and easy explanation).

BitMEX


Most of Forex brokers work this way by using leverage but here are anon cryptocurrency spots that do it and that i have used. One of top places for big trades. They used to have loads of currencies but now shrinked it to just few. Still one of most popular platforms.
Just looking there easy to see sentimens if ie BTC will go up or down.

SimpleFX


These guys have not only BTC or altcoins but also almost all forex pairs or stocks. If you are a MT4 trader or wanna do anon stocks.. This is the place. DASH, LTC, Bitcoin Cash and more possible for withdrawals and deposits.

BitFinex


The biggest amount of coins to margin trading with USD/BTC or even ETH pairs.

1Broker


Has crypto and stocks but main reason people use it for - anonymous and lets you copy other traders for hands-off trading.

Huobi


STEEM was just added there few days ago, i didnt try margin trading or loans yet - if you did, let me know in comments how does it work.

Man I played on bitmex practice site, and im so glad i was using fake money. In a week I would have lost $20k, I learned a very humbling lesson

That is why we say, don’t trade with money you can’t afford to lose! :)

The vast majority of Day traders lose money. Its not as easy as it seems and very easy to get shaken out of positions if your stops are set too tight. I tried this years ago with stocks and lost money but with the volatility in crypto it would be even worse!

haha :) i play them... okcasino was worse ;)

How well do you do, I was getting to stressed just using fake money lol.

I think the menatality is far different with real money that's why holdling is the best strategy

How about Cryptotab. I have using that mining for a month. But I don't get 0.003 BTC.
I think many fake website to earn BTC easy

have it installed now and test, risk is low i think

i think one is applied to customers (friends) advertising , 30H/s electricity is too expensive here is not enough money Bildschirmfoto 2018-04-30 um 13.14.48.png

You are probably better off cloud mining if you don't have a rig. Have a play on Eobot to see if you would be interested in cloud mining and move on up to other websites from there if you do like it.

I wonder if you have mining Monroe before, I think you can try to use personal computers to dig Monroe coin and replace it with Bitcoin. If PC CPU and GPU are still not too bad(I have a i7-4710 processor and AMD 8970hd card), about 30 Day can dig 0.1 XMR and MIN 0.1XMR can extract , according to the exchange rate of today's currency, you can exchange 0.026BTC(https://www.binance.com/trade.html?symbol=XMR_BTC). If you are interested in mining please follow me, I can tell you how to do it(https://steemit.com/cryptocurrency/@ Butiger/how-you-got-involved-in-cryptocurrency)

that would have sucked if you would have logged on to the wrong site and lost your real cash.
Is that practice site on bitmex.com? I want to see it and try it out.
I would rather use fake money than ever invest in my own, at least at those amounts.

Thanks.

Definitely would have sucked, but I knew I​ was in over my head so i didn't even risk it.

did you use a high leverage?

only invest what you can afford to loose and do your research before you invest in anything..

I feel like it’s always a good time to buy because if the other altcoins are low you will profit more when the prices rise . I have bought sbd at a low price and sbd let’s see where it takes me

@kingscrown it is a helpful and educational post. I am happy you are bringing this to steemit.
Very good post.

shorting is very dangerous to me i lost some money and it`s not easy

Now I understand what the bitfinex offers as margin. But the whole idea is basically not dealing in the coin exactly but betting on the future of it.

Super interesting! Upvoted!!
