well if you watch till the end then he does say that he does not care what BTC does, since he trades on volatility
I have a Bitmex account as well. (just a little bit to try my hand at trading and learning) My short is going just fine now, and I get it, BTC up or down we win anyway.

I would like to ask for a separate favor
would you please vote for @swisswitness? I see you have voted for 15 witnesses so far and we have just set up ours and could really need some more witness support... this can be done through steemconnect on the following link and does not cost you anything. (as you know)
