Alt-Options: Boston Based Exchange First to Offer American Bitcoin Options

[AltOptionsLLC]

Bitcointalk,

As a company we’ve maintained a presence on social media and similar trading forums these last few months. Now that we’ve launched our public beta, we thought it best to give Bitcointalk an introduction to what it is that we do.

Who are we?

We are a young and innovative financial services company, based out of Boston, comprised of forward thinking individuals in the virtual currency space. Our like-minded team consists of individuals with strong suits in finance, mathematics, and marketing. Find out more about our team here: http://alt-options.com/about_us.php and here:

What do we do?
We provide users with a platform to trade derivatives on digital currency and are the first company in the space to provide American options to retail clients on Bitcoin. This enables you to trade with a unique hedging opportunity within the confines of industry standard security protocols. Our company is partnered with buy-side firms, digital miners, and payment processors to further hedging abilities by providing deep liquidity.


Why us?
We have narrowed our competition to OKCoin, BTC Oracle, BTC.sx, ICBIT, and a few others. We feel our product surpasses the competition: our website is accessible to both American and Chinese users, we will be able to provide a high degree of liquidity, and we are not limited to a single derivative product (futures) or digital currency. In addition, we are confident in the professionalism and aesthetic appeal of our platform. AOEX is the first retail Bitcoin exchange to offer pro trading analytics for seasoned traders.


In the last few days, we have been perfecting our public beta and have started to roll out the final optimized futures. If you haven't already, sign up via our landing page and start trading today: http://alt-options.com/.

Hi bct-user,


The account value will be based on the USD converted value of all the assets in your account. The accounts with highest value will be the winners
