    Meet the luckiest Bitcoin bear
    
    Dow rose to prominence after shorting Bitcoin at nearly $20,000 back in December 2017 when crypto mania reached its peak.&nbsp;
    
    He stated that hordes of people that rushed to buy BTC didn't understand the technology and were simply driven by the price narrative.&nbsp;
    
    To top that off, he closed his short position one year later when the BTC price bottomed at $3,100.

    Dow rose to prominence after shorting Bitcoin at nearly $20,000 back in December 2017 when crypto mania reached its peak.&nbsp;
    
    He stated that hordes of people that rushed to buy BTC didn't understand the technology and were simply driven by the price narrative.&nbsp;
    
    To top that off, he closed his short position one year later when the BTC price bottomed at $3,100.
    
    In <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-12-18/bitcoin-bear-mark-dow-closes-short-bet-after-fever-breaks"> a Bloomberg interview</a>, he said that that he didn't want to ride it to zero.&nbsp;
    
    However, some Bitcoiners were quick to clap back, claiming that Dow would be able to generate much greater returns if he was a Bitcoin bull.&nbsp;

It's so 2016

Dow's tweet comes right after Bitcoin failed to hold $8,000 support, which is considered to be a major win for the bears. 

That said, tweeting that Bitcoin is going to die just because it failed to rally to $10,000 could be a bit premature. 

The crypto king forced Dow to eat his words when it printed the $14,000 price tag at the end of July.
