Because investors only make money when stocks go up right? There are already systems in place to short-sell cryptocurrency. It's just a bad investment to do so at the moment.
Probably more importantly, cryptocurrency directly challenges centralized currencies (by design). NSA and friends will side-channel attack the life out of all things even remotely related if cryptocurrencies ever get big enough to seriously challenge the banking system. See Tor network attacks for a demonstration of nation-state capabilities.
