DrSteveBrule: for that specific type of contract (with end of feb expiration and strike around
$400-
$500) but that website is hard to understand, so I may be wrong. Coming in here to see if other see the same

$10,000 USD
mike_c: i hate that reasoning. like snackman saying "now i was scammed for

kingofsports: so for .488 BTC you have the ability to buy how many BTC option wise for
$5000 should it reach that pricew?
Duffer1: kingofsports the ticker would read 050 if the strike was 500
$ kingofsports: this shit is so confusing. on mpoe it says
$500 strike price. put option. a put cant be a strike price above the current price...2nd why would mpex pay .488 BTC per 1 BTC option for
$5000 strike price. that is an insane fee. i wouldnt pay more than 0.05
kingofsports: mpex paid him .488 per BTC for a 30 day option for
$500 or below...that seems like way too much.
