Hello, welcome to episode 21 of The Bitcoin Game, I'm Rob Mitchell. This podcast is my opportunity to learn from all types of people involved in cryptocurrency.

For today’s episode I spoke to Marco Cuesta of Alt-Options. This company is aiming to bring a high-end option trading platform to Bitcoin. Alt-Options earned 2nd place at the startup pitch competition at Inside Bitcoins in Chicago shortly after this interview took place, and the company is planning to go live with Bitcoin option trading by the end of summer. In the meantime, you can sign up for a beta account and test your option leveraging skills on paper.

We also talk a bit about the College Crypto Network and the Crypto Castle in San Francisco.

Bitcoin Keychains by Bkeychain
You’ve seen these keychains on dozens and dozens of websites, it’s about time you had one of your own! These substantial metal keychains make great conversation starters, and they also make great gifts to or from Bitcoiners. You can find a list of online retailers at Bkeychain.com, and several support Bitcoin so much, they don’t even accept fiat currency. So what are you waiting for?
