CRYPTO QUESTIONS

Question from Angelo - Why do you usually quote realized 30 for BTC instead of implied? Surprising since you’re an options guy.
Question from Nelverse - Does the bitcoin options skew show that it will continue to rally or selloff?
Question from Simone - Is it possible for American retail traders to trade covered calls on BTC/USD? I think that trade would have fared well for most of Q1 outside of the last few weeks.
