      Like I said, I couldn’t figure it out. I’m sure there are some less than reputable sites where it’s as risky to do a short as it is to put your money in the platform lol

      Now that I think about it I probably could have found some sort of gambling site that did the equivalent. “Pays out X if Trump’s griftcoin dips below Y by [date].”

        Its easy but risky

        Liqudates your assets (on kraken) if the leverage crosses a threshold

        Just use the (free) kraken pro site

        Long short etc

        Read their docs

      Looks like the big crypto exchanges allow you to borrow/short sell.

      There are crypto companies that are publicly traded as well as crypto ETFs. You could short sell those.

      Personally,I wouldn’t risk it with how crazy crypto is. It’s seems way too easy to manipulate.
