And if price shoots to $10 are going to default and leave the $800 or are you going to cover it?

Why do you want to do that? What is your benefit in this scheme?

It means that you buy btc above price market now. Assuming the price goes above 4$, you will then sell beneath price market.

The other question is how could you ensure that the other part will give you your 800$back?


Let see what are the possible risks:

- btc price goes above 4$. If the taker bought 800$ of btc and sell them, he has a nice benefit.
- btc price remains more or less the same: taker earn 2btc.
- btc price falls dramatically: the taker might loose money if he bought btc with your 800$
- after the first transaction, you disappear. Taker has sell 200btc above market price. He wins.
- after the first transaction, the taker disappear. Same scenario as above.

So my question remains: what is your benefit?

My benefit is to win under scenarios with BTC rate going down or remain the same.
If BTC rate goes beyond $4, I can think it of selling 200 btc now at that rate.
So I win too.  Grin
