    Putting a stop loss and shorting a digital currency are two different strategies used in the cryptocurrency market. When you put a stop loss, you are essentially setting a price at which you want to sell your digital currency if its price falls below that level. This helps protect your investment by automatically closing the trade and limiting your potential losses. On the other hand, shorting a digital currency involves borrowing the currency and selling it with the expectation that its price will decrease. If the price does indeed drop, you can buy back the currency at a lower price and return it to the lender, making a profit from the price difference. Both strategies have their own risks and rewards, and it's important to understand the differences before implementing them in your trading strategy.
