The Options Market in Bitcoin Is Not Robust

Show support appreciated: donations.cryptovoices.com Show Sponsor: hodlhodl.com/join/cryptovoices Matthew and Alec interview Greg Carmichael, founder and manager of the DEUS Opportunity Fund. Greg flew F-16s for the US Air Force for 31 years. He graduated from Indiana University with a double degree in Physics and Chemistry, holds a Masters in International Relations from Oklahoma State University, and a Doctorate of Business Administration from the University of Phoenix. He has more than 40 years of experience trading derivatives in the traditional markets, and has been very active trading in the Bitcoin and crypto markets. This is a very good interview on Matthew's favourite business/ investing phrase: caveat emptor. There have been many opportunities to multiply capital returns in Bitcoin terms (and in USD terms), and Greg breaks down his ways and methods, based on his lifetime of experience in the traditional markets. He talks about doing this (the fund, and his life in general) in a private and personalised manner (he uses Halo Privacy). He elucidates on the positives of living in Puerto Rico, where he coincidentally even gave a Bitcoin investing presentation in Peter Schiff's house!! Greg gives a great breakdown on the benefits and risks of trading the crypto market, versus the traditional markets. We also have very important discussions about one's cost of capital (in Bitcoin terms!), the risk-free rate, what that means in a Bitcoin-denominated world, and the risks and rewards of hodling BTC versus more actively investing. Unfortunately the last 30 minutes of the interview was cut short due to an issue with our podcasting software (first time ever), where we discuss Greg's views on stock-to-flow and Bitcoin liquidity floor investing. There's definitely more interesting fodder to discuss, and we will indeed do so soon (as Alec mentions before he exits). Probably the last episode before Christmas and New Year. Happy holidays and godspeed in 2022 everyone. Thank you so much for listening to the show. There is much more content coming next year!!
