As an experienced trader in FX and us stocks, and as a bit of a budding technologist, how can I best get into speculating Ethereum?
I've tried getting into ethereum, and am super interested in programming numerous smart contracts, but have showed up late to the party, so all the docs are in varying levels of accuracy (out of date) and it seems like i have to download a million and a half heavy applications just to participate. Red flag. It seems weird that company with so much interest and participation doesn't have proper documentation.
Is there a way to go short; are there options markets; is it currently possible to bet against the price of a smart-contract like Bancor?
- csomar 9y agoYes but the size of your position will be important. Bitmex is a real derivatives exchanges but for some contracts they are not liquid enough.
- flaviuspopan 9y agoIMHO, I wouldn't consider yourself late to the party. There's a ton of work being done on the EVM (Ethereum Virtual Machine) and new languages are coming out for it (like Viper). The biggest challenge at the moment is knowing which resources are still relevant and worth grokking. As long as you stay curious, I'd say there's a great chance your future in the market will be mildly prosperous at worst.
- stefek99 9y agoGoing short in crypto = assymetrical risk reward ratio. Poloniex has margin trading and shorting. Bitmex - up to 100x leverage.
