Forum Overview :: Motherfucking News :: You know there's such a thing as a short sale, right? Options, swaps, all that?

[quote name="Saltlord"]This was another bubble. People living inside of an economy defined by bullshit like supply side economics aren't stupid to play the bubble where they can. There's already an options market on cryptocurrencies. There are people making money on them in every circumstance whether the price rises or not. The question now is whether the thing's popped or is just on its way to being reinflated until differences in regulation or the advent of quantum computing kills it all. Given the Koch Foundation exists and does its best to prop up anything remotely likely to improve the longevity of the paranoid oil empire that created it, and given that the energy to mine bitcoin has to come from somewhere, there is good reason to expect some longevity in this market.[/quote]
