📉 What is BTC Short Selling?
Short selling Bitcoin (BTC) means you are betting that the price will go down, and you want to profit from that drop.
---
🧠 How Does It Work?
1. You borrow BTC from the exchange (like Binance Futures).
2. You sell it at the current market price.
3. If the price drops, you buy it back at a lower price.
4. The difference between sell and buy = your profit.

📌 Example:
BTC price now = $65,000
You short 1 BTC (sell it now)
Price drops to $60,000
You buy it back → $5,000 profit
But…
If price goes up instead, you lose money.

⚠️ Risks of Short Selling:
You can get liquidated if the price moves against your trade.
Losses can be large, especially if you use leverage.
