Buy long calls when you think the asset is going up

Let's walk through some hypothetical examples:

First, lets assume a user pays a $100 premium to buy a monthly Hex CALL option with a $1 expiry in 30 days. Lets assume the price is currently $1. Here are two scenarios that might occur:

Scenario 1: The price of HEX goes to $1.30

Our users option is now worth a multiple of what was originally bet, based on the probability of the bet occurring, and the number of similar bets made.

Scenario 2: The price of HEX goes to $.70

At the time of expiration, Our user will lose its $100 premium. No additional losses are incurred. The Nmoney issued will be burned, stabilizing the supply.
