    And in addition considering everyone has read Taleb's books there has been accelerating interest in options which make the prices quite high and IV crush painful. End result, even harder to win with OOTM options even if you are correct

    In the Weimar republic eggs went from $0.5 to $500 pretty quickly and by 8 months eggs were $1,500,000. Happens quicker than you think and that's a hell of a tail risk. Bitcoin has been pretty consistently up on any timeline over the
