I did, ages ago, is why I never bought xrp even though at one point it was poised to rival btc 17:28 < phantomcircuit> cncr04s, i've had multiple people ask me about xrp, it's not merely an instance of they put something out in the market that's worthless 17:28 < phantomcircuit> they actively marketed it as if it was stock 17:28 < phantomcircuit> it was always clear to anybody even vaguely paying attention that it was a security, so what is coinbases defense possibly going to be? sorry we're to incompetent to have noticed that it's a security? 17:29 < phantomcircuit> the entire purpose of the securities laws is to prevent people who aren't so smart from getting scammed quite as easily 17:30 < phantomcircuit> now if they were selling them next to a giant disclaimer that said something like 'we dont think this is a good investment' 17:30 < cncr04s> did the fincen or whatnot reneg on their stance that it is a security, I thought they said it wasnt at some point, is why I suspect coinbase went ahead and added it but I don't know really 17:30 < phantomcircuit> then maybe 17:32 < phantomcircuit> cncr04s, FinCEN regulates currency, so they say it's currency, CFTC regulates commodities ... but has said nothing, SEC regulates securities so they say it's a security 17:32 < phantomcircuit> it's pretty clear that XRP is a security 17:32 < cncr04s> I know that 17:32 < phantomcircuit> it's also pretty clear that ETH is a security 17:32 < cncr04s> I don't agree completley there 17:33 -!- andytoshi [~apoelstra@wpsoftware.net] has joined #bitcoin-forks 17:33 -!- andytoshi [~apoelstra@wpsoftware.net] has quit [Changing host] 17:33 -!- andytoshi [~apoelstra@unaffiliated/andytoshi] has joined #bitcoin-forks 17:34 < phantomcircuit> cncr04s, is ethereum an entity brought about by a singular group (vitalik et al ie the ethereum foundation)? yes 17:34 < cncr04s> so was bitcoin 17:34 < phantomcircuit> is the value of ETH based on their work? yes 17:35 < phantomcircuit> the value of eth is based on the continued work of vitalik and the ethereum foundation 17:35 < phantomcircuit> which is the opposite of bitcoin 17:35 < phantomcircuit> it's value is because of what it is 17:35 < phantomcircuit> not because of what it could be in the future 17:35 < cncr04s> eth is worth what it is because of other platforms that built on top of it 17:35 < ossifrage> after 5 days of downtime, bitcoind sucked down the missing blocks quite fast 17:35 < cncr04s> well partially 17:36 < cncr04s> ethereum fondation doesnt controll 50% of all eth tokens, at least not anymore I don't think. I don't hold a lot of eth 17:39 < grubles> they still sell ICO ETH to the public, as recent as 2017 even 17:39 < grubles> including Vitalik 17:40 < midnight> grubles: It's possible that openssl can aes in chunks and merge them after with some kind of clever data struct..? I'm curious what the difference is now. 17:41 < queip> grubles: did you eliminated the thing about zipping input data first in gpg? 17:42 < midnight> the initial premine sale was a securities offering, filled with advertising, and paid promotionals from famous cryptographers who were carefully whitewashed out of the history. 17:43 < grubles> queip: yeah you can disable it with --compress-algo none 17:43 < midnight> Bitcoin was announced on an obscure mailing list and grew entirely organically, and nobody paid satoshi a penny. 17:43 < midnight> There is zero comparison there possible. Zero. 17:47 < gmaxwell> this is fucking fucking terrible: https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-passes-historic-anti-corruption-legislation-that-effectively-bans-anonymous-shell-companies-b1781380.html 17:47 < Entitlement> gmaxwell - [ US passes ‘historic’ anti-corruption law that effectively bans anonymous shell c... ] 17:47 < grubles> i read it doesn't really ban it 17:47 < grubles> only imposes a minimum cost 17:48 < gmaxwell> The law makes it impossible to own realestate in the US without ending up with your docs discoverable. It *could* have made improper disclosure of the information a felony, as is the case for tax return data (Which still gets leaked..) but it did not. 17:48 < Emcy> oh. does that affect you 17:48 < grubles> like, you gotta hire some people and have $5M in revenue or something 17:48 < midnight> I wonder if this is a craig sock: https://twitter.com/bsv_nld 17:48 < gmaxwell> grubles: yes, it makes it so monery launderers and VERY people can still keep their locations private. 17:48 < gmaxwell> Yes. This affects me personally. 17:48 < queip> as usual anti-corruption, anti-ML, and tax the rich laws hit everyone except the rich lol 17:49 < Emcy> i thought it did 17:49 < Emcy> :( 17:49 < queip> (I mean except top 1%ers) 17:49 < midnight> gmaxwell: bare trusts with secret beneficiaries I think are still anonymous-like. 17:49 < queip> democracy will continue to more and more destroy personal freedoms 17:49 < queip> btw vaccines will not work and we will be in lockdowns for next years 17:49 < queip> (update based on some new information) 17:49 < gmaxwell> To protect the privacy of your physical address this way in the US previously just required a few hundred dollars one time cost before buying the property plus a nominal annual fee. 17:50 < Emcy> are there other optinos 17:50 < cncr04s> what about just general proxy companies 17:50 < gmaxwell> So it was very much a move available to everyone (who owns their home, ... renters are already anonymous) 17:50 < midnight> cncr04s: the true full beneficial owner has to be disclosed. 17:50 < gmaxwell> cncr04s: this law makes all companies below a size disclose their ultimate human beneficial owners. 17:51 < midnight> It also mandates investigations into trusts, which means bare trusts are probably next on the chopping block 17:51 < grubles> can you...rent to yourself? 17:51 < queip> why not pick up an actually free country and move. is there not any left in the world? 17:51 < midnight> grubles: you're the beneficial owner, so, no. 17:51 < gmaxwell> There is a huge loophole baked in, if the company has 20+ employees and >$5m in revenue it's excempted. 17:51 < queip> make it an exclusive hotel, or an IT company and you work there 24/24 17:52 < gmaxwell> Probably the law can be avoided if I sell you my property, and loan you the money to buy it, and pay you rent which you return to me which services the interest on the loan, and then your name is on it instead of mine. 17:52 < midnight> You might be able to contractually perma-rent from an autonomous corp, but that's pretty risky. Who knows if they 17:52 < midnight> 'll operate in good faith. 17:53 < queip> or really just shit on the stupid democracy, move to Monako pay no tax, and physically live for ~half year anywhere you want as a tourist. but yeah must be annoying even if you could do it, to change plans and everything 17:53 < Emcy> what kinda money launderer or whatever isnt even moving 5mm for all that effort? stupid law 17:53 < queip> Emcy: almost every law is stupid 17:54 < midnight> queip: :-/ hey man, moving to garbage countries that hate white people isn't really a viable option for north americans. 17:54 < Emcy> seems like theres some alterior pork motive there 17:54 < cncr04s> malta? 17:55 < midnight> cncr04s: hardcore roman catholic? might as well move to ireland and hope nobody finds out you don't go to church 17:56 < gmaxwell> Emcy: I think this law mostly exists because of fucking movies and TV's making anonymous corporations a plot point. 17:57 < gmaxwell> in any case, here is the silver lining? see this law? it's a good reasn for bitcoin's value to increase. 17:57 < midnight> gmaxwell: There was an anonocorp behind the recent dem loss of those florida senate seats. 17:57 < midnight> With the confusingly similarly-names alt candidates 17:57 < midnight> named. D. :-C 17:58 < queip> midnight: seems USA is the garbage country in this example 17:58 < midnight> Nah man. Foreign propaganda and complaints from natives don't make the USA a garbage cuntry. 17:58 < grubles> gmaxwell: how so re: value increase 17:59 < queip> midnight: every country laws like for example civil forfeiture already is trash 17:59 < gmaxwell> grubles: A lot of wealthy people are already interested in Bitcoin because it's essentially an anonymous bearer bond. 18:00 < midnight> (And by "natives" I mean "people from that country" and not "first nations" types..) 18:00 < gmaxwell> grubles: keeping your assets anonymous has a lot of benefits. Protects you from theives, protects you from angry mobs out after wealthy people, protects you from spurrious litigation (pepople targeting you because you're rich).... 18:00 < gmaxwell> grubles: rapidly bitcoin is becoming one of the only anonymous ways to keep wealth. 18:01 < gmaxwell> Prior to this law, anonymous corporations means that you could own and transfer realestate anonymously. 18:01 < queip> (for people without political influence etc) 18:01 < gmaxwell> Looks like this law will, at a minimum, be making it much more expensive to do so. 18:01 < gmaxwell> so Bitcoin will be relatively more attractive to own as a consequence. 18:02 < grubles> oh i see, yeah that makes complete sense 18:02 < queip> this is good for bitcoin ® :) 18:02 < cncr04s> well thats good for me 18:02 < gmaxwell> Some people we know in Bitcoin basically came to it because bitcoin == bearer bonds. 18:02 < queip> but with no good and somewhat free country left in the world, that's not so great 18:03 < queip> (not that this 1 law is so important, but in general many such laws) 18:03 < cncr04s> well I can still buy a few thousand acres of land up in remote alaska and live free 18:04 < gmaxwell> cncr04s: until I hear you own a couple bitcoin, then look up your land, then fly out there and break my leg on it just to sue you to get you to pay me a fat settlement. :P 18:04 < cncr04s> no one knows me 18:05 < midnight> The.. frozen north..? is Freedom? 18:05 < queip> cncr04s: why Alaska would be better? 18:05 < midnight> It is self-flagellation man. 18:05 < gmaxwell> And, yes, *this actually happens*. Though less often because many of the people most likely to be targeted by it take action to conceal their assets, -- it's not worth suing someone if you're not confident in a payday. 18:05 < gmaxwell> midnight: I suppose if you're sufficiently wealthy alaska is fine. 18:06 < ossifrage> gmaxwell, how did you protect your address from things like telcos or poco? The telco/poco only knows about the LLC and not you specifically? 18:06 < midnight> No man. There's no such thing as sufficiently wealthy to be isolated from the cold up there. It's pervasive, impossible, vast, endless. 18:06 < midnight> Hell. Frozen. Over. :( 18:06 < cncr04s> I mean, I can't believe how much i've "made" in the last 24 hours 18:07 < gmaxwell> ossifrage: anything that physically serves my address knows only about the LLC. and their only human contact is a friend of mine in another state that I pay a nominal amount to manage them for me. 18:07 < ossifrage> and you would only be able to buy stuff from places like amazon using the LLC's CC 18:07 < midnight> cncr04s: Your cashout is a drip siphon :( I'm still annoyed about it on your behalf. 18:07 < gmaxwell> ossifrage: anything that doesn't physically service my location just knows my name at a mailbox. 18:08 < midnight> gmaxwell: I wonder if it's possible that part of the impetus for the bill passage was that crypto peeps were doing the lopp thing and disappearing. 18:08 < ossifrage> gmaxwell, has doing that ever caused you problems, like in those rare cases where "they" want proof of address? 18:08 < gmaxwell> ossifrage: we don't do deliveries here, except for produce... I have a credit card with the aformentioned friend as an authorized user, which is used to pay for stuff like that. My LLCs don't have bank accounts due to the disclosure requirements. 18:08 < ossifrage> Also, what address do you use on your drivers license? 18:08 < midnight> yet another reason why the market cap propaganda is infinitely damaging to bitcoin. 18:08 < gmaxwell> ossifrage: mailbox service. 18:09 < gmaxwell> RealID act depends a 'physical address' whatever the @#$@ that means. (I mean, technically the property I live on doesn't even have an address!)... but DMVs don't do much of anything to verify that other than being able to send you mail, they won't accept a post office PO box. 18:10 < cncr04s> 6000 unnammed road, nowhere ak 18:10 < gmaxwell> ossifrage: the only problem I've had is that fidelity won't let me open a HSA account because they don't consider my mailbox address to be a 'physical address'. 18:12 < ossifrage> If I ever manage to build my imaginary house, I was thinking about trying to buy the property as anomalously as possible as well (but never really looked into the details) 18:12 < phantomcircuit> looks like if you want to own property anonymously now you need to do a bunch of nonsense with offshore entities and trusts 18:12 < gmaxwell> yeah, you should, it's easy to own it via an LLC. even with this dumb law thats most anonymous than not doing so. esp if your state puts all the property records online. 18:12 < cncr04s> well chain a few corps or llcs together, make it less appealing to trace it 18:12 < phantomcircuit> which makes actually owning the property kind of annoying 18:13 < midnight> Wonder if the exchanges are losing holdings because they're expecting a more direct challenge to bitcoin hodlers. 18:13 < ossifrage> gmaxwell, I wasn't sure if it was worth the effort because it would be so damn easy to screw up 18:13 < gmaxwell> phantomcircuit: depends on how anonymous. Even with this law you're still better off owning via an LLC. The disclosure is to fincen, not public. Though the idiot fucking law doesn't prohibit them from making it public or make it a felony to leak it. 18:13 < midnight> One more reason why making all bitcoiners hate you is a bad idea. 18:13 < phantomcircuit> gmaxwell, and that can be pretty cheap too, just pay the corp taxes and have the registered agent be `123 Main St LLC, 123 Main St, Fly Creek, NY, 13337 18:14 < phantomcircuit> gmaxwell, i assume anything you send to fincen is public 18:14 < phantomcircuit> since it basically is 18:14 < ossifrage> I register my domain to '123 fake street, springfield...' 18:14 < gmaxwell> well the advocates of this law are claiming it's private, though thats bullshit unless there is at least criminal penalities for leaking it. 18:14 < midnight> ossifrage: Good way for scammers to steal your domain. :( 18:15 < gmaxwell> ossifrage: I think it's easy to have small leaks, but it's also easy to make it so random idiots cannot tell the ownership without at least hiring a competent PI. 18:15 < phantomcircuit> gmaxwell, iirc basically every law enforcement agency in the country can lookup basically everything that fincen has 18:15 < phantomcircuit> i might be misremembering, maybe they have to like ask or something 18:15 < phantomcircuit> but i dont think so 18:15 < gmaxwell> phantomcircuit: :( right. But that's *still* better than just having the state list it on the internet. 18:16 < phantomcircuit> true 18:16 < ossifrage> gmaxwell, I don't think anyone hates me enough to pay a PI to find my address ;) 18:16 < phantomcircuit> lol google has forgotten about people complaining that i registered something at `1 main st, fly creek, ny 13337` 18:17 < gmaxwell> Personally I'm not trying to hide my physical address from the government, except in so far as I need to do so because otherwise they'll leak it. 18:17 < phantomcircuit> ossifrage, that's not your real threat model, the risk is someone who thinks they can get money from you 18:17 < gmaxwell> hate is kind of a secondary concern, as phantomcircuit says. 18:18 < gmaxwell> basically there are hundreds of attornies (if not thousands) in the US who will take obvious false cases on contingency if you can show that the target is sufficiently rich that they're likely to just settle to make the case go away. 18:18 < phantomcircuit> lol found it 18:18 < phantomcircuit> https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4525090.msg41605963#msg41605963 18:18 < Entitlement> phantomcircuit - [ [ANN][Pre-ICO] Coal Coin - VIRTUAL INVESTMENT IN A REAL PRODUCT ] 18:18 < gmaxwell> So the best defence against that is to make it impossible to figure out what the payday is from suing you. 18:18 < phantomcircuit> morons 18:18 -!- cryptosoap [~cryptosoa@gateway/tor-sasl/cryptosoap] has quit [Quit: %bye%] 18:18 -!- DeanGuss [~dean@gateway/tor-sasl/deanguss] has quit [Remote host closed the connection] 18:18 -!- DeanGuss [~dean@gateway/tor-sasl/deanguss] has quit [Remote host closed the connection] 18:19 -!- cryptosoap [~cryptosoa@gateway/tor-sasl/cryptosoap] has joined #lnd 18:19 -!- DeanGuss [~dean@gateway/tor-sasl/deanguss] has joined #bitcoin-forks 18:19 -!- DeanGuss [~dean@gateway/tor-sasl/deanguss] has joined #lnd 18:19 < gmaxwell> phantomcircuit: I saw some older rbtc thread recently saying theymos was in the panama papers.... turns out that bitcoin.it's DNS registrar has a mailing address which is a virgual office which is named in the panama papers. 18:19 < phantomcircuit> gmaxwell, there's always the other option 18:19 < phantomcircuit> gmaxwell, belligerently defend yourself from all litigation 18:19 < queip> again with the boomertech of DNS 18:19 < queip> so retarded it didnt yet died out 18:20 < phantomcircuit> gmaxwell, lol 18:20 < phantomcircuit> yeah that flycreek address is neat cause it looks realish but is total nonsense to any human 18:20 < gmaxwell> Also owning via an LLC actually provides legal protection beyond privacy... because in a lawsuit they normally can't force you to wind down a company to pay it off, they can only encumber the assets later. 18:21 < ossifrage> I had some patent lawyers from a big telco some looking for me and they kept finding my dad but couldn't seem to find me (never understood how they could be so bad at their job) 18:21 < gmaxwell> so for example if some asshole does sue you and wins a judgement against you, they can't force you to sell a house you own via an LLC, they can only get a chunk of the money when you later sell the house. 18:21 < cncr04s> I usually use 123 Main St, North Pole AK 99705 18:21 < phantomcircuit> gmaxwell, i mean if they actually get a judgement they can certainly take the llc's property through the sheriff, but like that might he challenging if you're renting from the llc with a like 100 year lease 18:21 < gmaxwell> ossifrage: being paid by the hour and don't give a fuck, perhaps. 18:21 < gmaxwell> phantomcircuit: in California there is plenty of case law that they cannot. 18:22 < phantomcircuit> gmaxwell, really? that's very surprising 18:22 < gmaxwell> "House isn't mine, you can't take it. And you cannot force me to direct the actions of the LLC through a fininicial judgement" 18:22 < phantomcircuit> i would expect that if you owned the house directly, but not through an llc 18:22 < phantomcircuit> oh you're saying a judgement against you 18:22 < ossifrage> They kept calling my father (with the same name) and he would say, "that's not me" or "i didn't work there" (he knew how I felt about patents) 18:22 < phantomcircuit> lol right yeah 18:23 < gmaxwell> [related: california just changed the law to up the amount of home value protected from judgements from $60k to $600k-- but that still applies if you own via an llc.] 18:23 < gmaxwell> But the LLC is just strictly better protection. You might have to fight to keep it... but someone weighing the returns on suing you has to factor that in. 18:25 < gmaxwell> phantomcircuit: it is kinda dumb that they let you use LLCs this way, I won't be too shocked if that changes. 18:25 < ossifrage> The guy that stole a $5k deposit from me and then did negative work managed to use his LLC in a way that made it impossible for me to collect the judgment against him 18:26 < gmaxwell> it makes sense that a judgement shouldn't be able to make you sell e.g. your business, likely destroying its value and your future income in the process. 18:27 < gmaxwell> It makes less sense that property owners who had the foresight to use a tax disregarded entity to purchase their house get magical asset protection that other home owners do not. 18:27 < ossifrage> Took the $5k then never showed up to do the work or order the parts, I complained and eventually he came out and removed some siding from my garage and then disappeared. It was a pain in the ass 18:27 < gmaxwell> ossifrage: sucks. :( 18:28 < phantomcircuit> gmaxwell, i suspect that doing that 'and lease it back to themselve for 100 years' thing would make it basically impossible to take 18:28 < ossifrage> The siding was only a small part of the job. In my mind he did negative work 18:30 < gmaxwell> phantomcircuit: I think as it is right now, merely owning via an LLC is pretty much enough. And now plus in CA, 600k will be protected on eventual sale of the property (or if they do manage to breach the LLC). 18:30 < ossifrage> Since mid-covid I've been getting a constant stream of letters from pseudo-scammers wanting to buy my house.

And make it recursive. So if I you buy it from me then sell it to emcy, that any increase in price has to go to me. 19:59 < gmaxwell> so the buyer wouldn't be locked in, but they couldn't hope to profit from flipping it quickly. 20:00 < gmaxwell> then after 5 years the timer runs out and if the last owner has owned it that long they can remove the covenant if they want. 20:00 < gmaxwell> I believe it would be highly enforcable, since it's an actual real economic right. 20:04 < gmaxwell> and I think people would like to attach it to their properties because it shouldn't make them much harder to sell (except to flippers), and it has a prospect of getting them some income. 20:05 < gmaxwell> I'd need to know more about the economics of flipping to know what timeframes are sufficient, I know flippers usually use 5yr ARMs with extremely low payments in the initial years and absolutely want to be out before 5 years it up. 20:05 < gmaxwell> But I'm guessing you probably only need 1 year of protection to mostly stop the practice. 20:08 < phantomcircuit> gmaxwell, interesting, yeah i bet that would both work and could be enforced 20:10 < Emcy> i like it 20:15 < Emcy> https://twitter.com/chiefyx/status/1344725648871456768 20:15 -!- cryptosoap [~cryptosoa@gateway/tor-sasl/cryptosoap] has quit [Ping timeout: 240 seconds] 20:15 -!- cryptosoap [~cryptosoa@gateway/tor-sasl/cryptosoap] has joined #lnd 20:27 < phantomcircuit> so turns out the mikrotik switch i got that's got 4 SFP+ ports can only have 2 of the RJ-45 10GBASE-T adapters in it or the thing overheats 20:28 < phantomcircuit> i can have as many fiber ones as i want, because they use 0.8W but the RJ-45 adapter uses like 4W 20:28 < cncr04s> yeah rj45's are hot 20:28 < gmaxwell> oops.

Put 5 btc up as collateral on ledgerx, sell calls for like $X(?) each, then if the options expire you just got $25k, otherwise you sell at like 5btc @ 50k each, or something along those lines 22:08 < gmaxwell> Not sure which conversation you're referring to, but I think it's probably: at some point I was talking about on ledgerx not all the in-the-money-calls are getting assigned at expiration at some reason. So one could sell calls right before expiration for basically what they're worth, and hope some don't get assigned and you get a little windfall. 22:09 < gmaxwell> unfortunately, someone discussed that they weren't all getting assigned in the instutional trader pit, so I expect that strategy to be less profitable in the future. 22:10 < gmaxwell> That said, someone told me that they had a couple percent of ITM calls expire and not get assigned on Jan 1st, which was after that coversation, so perhaps not. 22:10 -!- HeySteve2 [~8037X2@unaffiliated/heysteve] has joined #bitcoin-forks 22:10 -!- HeySteve [~8037X2@unaffiliated/heysteve] has quit [Read error: Connection reset by peer] 22:11 < gmaxwell> the january 1st expiration was a weekly too-- the date hadn't existed for a long time. So my theory that the failed assignments were due to people buying calls a long time ago and totally forgetting about it doesn't apply there. 22:13 < gmaxwell> DeanGuss: but in general, a thing I do is sell (mostly) far OTM calls. which generates income, and then either bitcoin moons to over the strike by expiration and I get the strike (in addition to the money I already got) or it doesn't and I get my btc back. (or alternatively, bitcoin crashes before expiration and I buy it back at a low price way ahead of expiration) 22:14 < gmaxwell> so in effect this locks some of my gains in exchange for limiting the upside. 22:14 < DeanGuss> ah cool yeah that's the one I was looking for 22:15 < DeanGuss> like a 100k dec 2021 call option 22:15 < gmaxwell> also, when if/when it does cause me to sell bitcoin, it'll tend to do it when prices have shot way up, and I need to sell some anyways to prevent my net worth from being 90% bitcoin. 22:15 < gmaxwell> https://trade.ledgerx.com/live < you can see the bids/asks here, though not the orderbooks. 22:15 < Entitlement> gmaxwell - [ LedgerX Trading Interface ] 22:15 < phantomcircuit> gmaxwell, the ledgerX calls don't execute automatically if they're in the money? 22:16 < gmaxwell> phantomcircuit: nope, because ledgerx doesn't really 'know' the price. The only way to know the price is to have some index, which is potentially vulnerable to manipulation. They should still do some optional auto-assignment, maybe with settings on how far itm you need to be to bother assigning. But even if they do: you'll have to have the funds to execute. 22:17 < gmaxwell> (I mean there is the swap market on ledgerx, which is functionally a spot market... but the spreads on it are often pretty wide.) 22:19 < phantomcircuit> gmaxwell, hmm that's a fair point 22:19 < gmaxwell> DeanGuss: as you can see, you can get $4300/BTC selling a Dec2021 100k call against the best bid. IMO that price is low... but right now I am not finding buyers at prices I think are fair for that contract. :) 22:19 < DeanGuss> nice, thank you gmaxwell 22:20 < gmaxwell> at least during business days they open new retail accounts for US customers in under an hour, from what I've heard. 22:22 < gmaxwell> looking at the orderbook, bids on that 100k dec21 have 1btc at 4300, 1btc at 4200, 1btc at 4025... and so in. Which is a decent amount of order book volume for ledgerx. 22:24 < gmaxwell> in any case, even that IMO not very good price is 12%. So .. get a 12% return in exchange for capping a bitcoin at a max of 100k and potentially being unable to sell it for a year.
