Your right it’s a confusing phrase, I was trying to remember the specifics at the time but couldn’t remember the terminology since it’s not something I deal with on a regular basis, thanks for clarifying with the correct terms, I did indeed mean a put option with a very long date in the future. As for removal, as long as I didn’t have to pay if they de-list the option I’d still put it on the books. I’m quite convinced of my position. As for selecting a more short term timeline, I don’t see my short position happening in the next 3 to 5 years based on block mining rewards so I’ll just have to continue waiting and watching for the day it becomes viable to put my own personal “big short” into action on Bitcoin.
