Feel free to short Bitcoin in a futures market, and keep all your wealth allocated in assets associated with the US dollar.

Thankfully, I was never able to find an easy way to short BTC. I would have done it >5 years ago and failed spectacularly. I'm still bearish, but wiser.
You can short it on any crypto exchange that allows margin trading, such as Kraken.
Would be extremely worried about counterparty risk though. The other guy has to pay up and I'm not sure of the controls/regulations around enforcing that?
