QUESTION FROM HEATHER: Since you guys don’t like TVIX what else do you recommend? QUESTION FROM ELI: Is there one strategy that is the silver bullet in vxx that works over the others. Should I really just buy 1yr plus puts and then set it and forget it? Seems like anything much shorter term is a bit of a crap shoot.  QUESTION FROM 78RT: What’s the real set-it-and-forget-it vol trade? VXX long-term puts? QUESTION FROM OPTIONSGAME: What kind of IV should we expect from CMEGroup options on bitcoin futures?
