Title: Would anyone be interested in buying BTC stock or BTC price options? Futures?
Post by: KingOfSports on August 19, 2013, 09:09:26 AM
Thinking of offering options for BTC stocks / fiat prices, mainly based on either bitstamp or BTC-e. Could also do futures however the other parties end would have to be covered by collateral in some way.  It would be thread run, not by a site or anything. Obviously MPEX and BTCT have this covered already but for trading small amounts the fees eat up any potential in my opinion. My max would be 5 or 10 BTC totals. Any interest guys?

My idea is to offer 3, 7, 15 and 30 day options (both calls and puts). For futures it would be 3-60 days. Since 3 and 7 day options/contracts would be changing rapidly, I would list my offerings here however since I won't be around in a week or two with college, all orders and prices would be confirmed via PM. Even if you are not interested, suggestions or comments would be appreciated.

Also, note if you are an options trader yourself, I am looking to do a 15-90 day put order on 1 or 2 shares of ASIC-miner. Comment your best offer (strike price and fee) for that if interested.

I would probably trade these if they were available on an exchange with decent volume.  Can you throw up some sample prices?  I was thinking of suggesting a site like Bitfinex for Bitcoin Stocks.  The borrower could sell or buy the stocks with the option of leverage, and lender could earn interest on their stocks or BTC.

I'm confused do you mean a max of 5-10 btc per trade. Also would you be willing to put the coins in escrow to cover any potential loses you may incur?
