Is short even the right word?
When stock traders bet against a stock price going up.
I wanna bet against the USA dollar.
Is that a thing I can do?
Last time an American president tried to use tarrifs to solve a trade deficit the great depression followed.

Yeah. What do you think we mean when we say, "stack sats?"
Short is the commonly used word but kinda misleading/confusing because it implies "short selling" i.e. selling something you don't have and promising to buy it if that becomes a problem
You can't really do that with dollars afaik but you can colloquially "short" the dollar by holding hard money as a bet on the dollar collapsing
Yeah I looked it up before coming back to read the replies, shorting isn't exactly what I was thinking, I was thinking of something more similar to regular gambling, betting against odds type thing.
Because I don't actually have any USD myself.
