Yes options are different - and yes that’s how short-selling works (although it can be done without borrowing the asset, if it’s already owned), but how is this a function of a fiat currency system, or a government?

It’s private individuals/companies/banks doing this, between themselves?

And happens just as much on DeFi markets as it does on CeFi markets?

And happens with all sorts of different assets?

And presumably the only way to prevent it would be additional market rules to ban it…?
