Title: Bitcoin Options? Other Derivatives? Post by: neilol on August 28, 2013, 07:42:13 PM Any exchanges offer or plan to offer option contract creation on bitcoin itself?
Would be interested to see what kind of premiums 2-4 year LEAP contracts would fetch :) ;) Title: Re: Bitcoin Options? Other Derivatives?

There are probably better but just start getting a grasp of the terms and concepts. Title: Re: Bitcoin Options? Other Derivatives?

The 'Bible' of options investing is McMillan's Options as a Strategic Investment. Incidentally, the 796.com 'futures' are futures only in name; they're something more akin to a CFD and look quite a bit like a messier version of the BTC.sx offering. ICBIT offers 'real' futures. (There's another BTC/USD derivative available which you'll sometimes see mentioned, but unless you fancy usurious implied volatility and bid/ask spreads, it's hardly worth exploring.)
