Made the mistake of buying on the upswing, need to sell some off at higher price.
Here is how I'm earning money from within Bitshares X.
1) When the price dips I short BitUSD.
2) When the price rises I buy BitUSD.
3) I sell BitUSD for less than the price I purchased it.
So people who are pumping and then dumping into USD simply don't know how to use Bitshares X market functionality. Most of us are just discovering how to control the peg.
It's best you do all your speculating from within Bitshares X because it's better for the peg and for your profits.
