Can someone tell me how one can short GBTC? I tried and cannot but this guy says he's shorting it because of the extreme NAV...How is anyone finding shares to short with such low liquidity in this investment vehicle?????
His tweet proved ill-timed, as the premium expanded further throughout the trading day, closing at roughly 101% more than the value of its underlying bitcoin. But even if he was wrong for the day, it's my view he's right: Shorting Bitcoin Investment Trust when it trades for high premiums can be very profitable if done correctly.
Shorting the premium, not the bitcoin
Left's trade is relatively simple. By shorting Bitcoin Investment Trust and buying bitcoin futures, whether bitcoin goes up or down in value is mostly moot. What matters is whether Bitcoin Investment Trust's premium falls at a faster rate than the premium on the futures.

You can short a call on RIOT and you could blow up. Not a prediction, just a warning.
Doesn't get anymore parabolic top than that. What a fortune this guy made selling at the top to retail fools. Litcoin went from 370 to 290 in the last 24 hours. Congrats Mr Founder!!! I like how he said he donated all proceeds to charity. LMAO What a crock of shiz!! He said that to avoid prosecution. These cryptos are the biggest pump n dumps in the history of mankind. $700 billion market caps as a whole and it took less than a year to achieve that. I'm short Bitcoin from 19000. Will cover at 13,700.
