This article is pretty clickbait-y - their 2 "recommendations" are to short bitcoin or buy puts in bitcoin. Doing either isn't usually recommended for novice investors when dealing with reputable S&P500 type stocks, let alone a cryptocurrency in the middle of a mania. Following either recommendation could be a great way to lose your shirt.


Just to be clear, buying put options, in contrast to shorting, doesn't expose you to the possibility of a loss with no bound. The worst that can happen is in fact that you pay for the put options and lose nothing more.


Come on, the Mirror is hardly the bastion of credible reporting.


This does not say when bitcoin will crash or how to make money from it.


If you look at their chart of "any bubble", it's pretty clear when they expect the crash: https://i2-prod.mirror.co.uk/money/article11613204.ece/ALTER...
