How to short US stock market using bitcoin before elections

You'd be better actually shorting the market here instead of using bitcoin which is in no way a short...

Use a leveraged ETFs. For example SPXU is a -3x leveraged short. If S&P 500 goes down 1% you'll make 3%. You can gain extra volatility and return by using an ETF which is like UVXY which tracks the VIX short term futures index. This was making 5-10% a day while the S&P 500 was on a loosing stream. Was up something like 50% over the 9 day loosing streak the S&P saw which only lost it something like 3%.

Also do know your odds are against you I disagree that the market has priced in a Clinton won. The market will be sure to react regardless of who wins but the odds are stacked against you due to electoral college odds are far in favour of Clinton. Your more likely to be profitable betting on a Clinton win and tracking an ETF that is the inverse of the VIX short-term futures index. Won't be as profitable as a Trump win if you bet against the market but it's a much safer bet. Your call, doing what I said above you could probably find yourself making a 15-75% return in a week if Trump wins betting against the market. But got could also find yourself loosing something like 30%.
