I don't think shorting the market is necessarily a bad idea (though you could easily get crushed). But I wouldn't spend bitcoin to do it, nor would I trust some random guy on bitcointalk to do it for me. Not in a million lifetimes.
Sit down and relax. We are actually watching an average joe with no understanding of financial market trying to scam another average joe with the same amount of understanding. you don't see that everyday.
