Some even asked how to use Bitmex or Bitfinex to short. They basically want BTC to go to $1000 so they can recoup some of their losses.

Basically they will lose money going both directions. Due to greed and emotion.

that's why most people are losing traders---they buy the top and sell the bottom. it's just human nature. at the lows, they think "it's dead." during the bubble, they wait because they want so badly to be right. then at the highs, they think "new paradigm" and buy the top. then they're too stubborn to sell/short when it crashes; they wait to sell the bottom.

as much hate as the asset bubble chart gets around here, it's pretty accurate if you see it as a cyclical kind of thing.

It suggests that it's already a human nature. It's hard to get rid of such fact as it's a primary reaction of a person to panic when the price is going low day by day. And think of buying when the price is high. It's irony indeed. The wise resort is to set aside the emotion from doing all the work. Let the intellect do instead.
