Options as 'Lottery Tickets': Historical Insights
Such high-stake options, often called "lottery tickets," were common before the 2021 and 2024 halvings, triggering market excitement but sometimes ending in valueless expirations.
Experts suggest these activities might embody trader optimism during bullish periods or show vulnerabilities in uncertain markets, where prices may not reach speculative heights. Observers highlight potential for both risky gains and minimal losses.
