if one were to think the price will continue falling
then if one had availability a facility where one could sell BTC which one does not already own, and buy BTC at a later time, and if the price continued to fall, and if the price which one bought the BTC at would be lower than the price one sold the BTC that one didn't already own at, then there could be an opportunity to profit from the fall
question, is there any broker who allows selling of BTC which one does not already own ?
this is also known as short selling

Spread betting on cryptos with the volatility they have.
If you want to gamble, consider which you think could be worth more in a few years in terms of tins of beans and loaves of bread, £100 or £100 worth of bitcoin at current purchase price.
Especially if the omnishambles of the UK government causes a general election and Corbyn into power. recurring to infinity.Maybe tomorrow, I'll want to settle down. Until tomorrow, I'll just keep moving on.Comment

Node.js bitcoin stealer on the prowl ...
Die you unsecure client side source code scum.
Check your repos... Crypto-coin-stealing code sneaks into fairly popular NPM lib (2m downloads per week) • The Register
Hope this is just one step on the way to reducing the fashion for reliance on crappy third party client side javascript frameworks and libraries.
Edit: Apparently Node.js is server side. That javascript crap gets everywhere.Last edited by Hobosapien; 27 November 2018, 12:44.Maybe tomorrow, I'll want to settle down. Until tomorrow, I'll just keep moving on.Comment

BTC bull and bear markets
If it drops below $3000 (c. 85% decline), I might be tempted with a small wager. I use the word wager, because I'd treat it as a pure gamble.
It could shoot to the moon again, in the next couple of years or so, and take out the previous ATH of $19,666. Or this time could be different and it languishes in the doldrums for years and years. Or it could even become worthless. Fact is, no-one knows.
One thing I learned to my cost, a few years ago, is not to listen to anyone, including so-called experts, who make market predictions.Comment
