Bear Market Hedging

January 24, 2016, 08:51:10 PM

Hello

Let's suppose you are a BTC seller

What do you do to hedge the bear market and cover losses due to BTC-Fiat volatility?

In my opinion it's better to keep liquidity low and buy BTC to sell only few min before the transaction

Any idea?

Transactions must be included in a block to be properly completed. When you send a transaction, it is broadcast to miners. Miners can then optionally include it in their next blocks. Miners will be more inclined to include your transaction if it has a higher transaction fee.

It's better an option IMHO. That's why if i go short and BTC is going up, i have a loss. Otherwise, you have the opportunity to exercise (or NOT) the put option on the bear market.

Any other suggestion?

What exchanges offer the options and futures ?
