Next bubble it'd be nice to insure against the drop by buying some puts. Then get more coin back after the dip.

Anyone do this late last year? Besides some,  I believe, thinly traded MPEx stuff, I don't know of a market....

Perhaps someone here would be willing to write contracts.

I see lots of advantage to this strategy. I could never short the coin. And selling to buy back has many disadvantages (exchange risk, tax liability, etc.)

Even in the event that an attacker gains more than 50% of the network's computational power, only transactions sent by the attacker could be reversed or double-spent. The network would not be destroyed.

Interesting to see the price levels that are priced into that market for May, June, and September 2014.  Volume seems very thin though.

For ideological reasons I can never short the coin. Smiley
Buying insurance with options is another matter.

Then you can't hedge. Hedging requires both a short and a long position.
