The only markets where you can short bitcoin are sketchy overseas exchanges with low volumes and a history of problems both depositing and withdrawing money.
No serious investor is going to be putting money in bitfinex or whatever to short bitcoin.

probably because no reputable country's SEC equivalent would let that happen

bitfinex is one of the largest exchanges by volume
>a history of problems both depositing and withdrawing money.
if this is happening, it's not happening with any of the major exchanges that support margin trading. any time depositing/withdraw issues appear on an exchange, prices quickly deviate from the rest of the market as the supply of fiat/crypto diminishes.
