Watch footage of how a 2M Express bus driver and passengers narrowly escaped an armed robber's attack on the Kumasi-Accra highway late at night.

There was this particular man in the bus who was on the phone throughout, even after the robbers fired gunshots and attempted to open the gate for reasons known to him.

🟠The purpose of hedging is not to make money, but to protect against loss. Gains on the hedging position should offset losses on the underlying position.

Types of hedging.

There are 2 main methods:

:one:Through futures contracts
Futures allow you to buy or sell an asset at a predetermined price at a certain date in the future. For example, if you own 1 BTC and fear that the price might fall, you can sell a futures contract on it. If the price does fall, the profits from the contract will offset the loss.

:two: Via option contracts
Options give you the right, but not the obligation, to buy or sell an asset at a set price within a certain period of time. If you fear a fall, you can buy a put option. If the price falls, the increase in value of the option will make up for the loss.

🟠Futures are about the obligations of both parties. Options are about the obligation of one party and the right of the other.

Example of hedging a position

🟠Let's say you own $10,000 worth of BTC. To hedge your position, you can do the following.

🟠Suppose Bitcoin is trading at the $30,000 level. You can sell a perpetual futures contract on BTC.

🟠For the average person, the wording "short position" would be more understandable. The idea is that you borrow coins so that you can later buy at a lower price and pay back the loan, making money on the difference in value.

Examples of when using hedging can be useful:

:one: If you need to reduce the risk of a price drop when transferring an asset. For example, when dealing in arbitrage.

:two: About participating in various activities where it is necessary to do steaking on a particular asset. For example, steaking token X when participating in a lunchep on an exchange.

:three: If you own a portfolio and fear a general market decline on the back of upcoming news or events.

Major drawbacks when hedging:

:one: Liquidity risk
Some instruments may be illiquid. This can make it difficult to enter or exit positions.

:two: Costs
Hedging usually involves costs. For example, buying options requires paying a premium, which can be substantial depending on market conditions.

:black_circle:Finally, let me clarify an important piece of information. Before implementing any hedging strategy, make sure you fully understand the risks involved and potential drawbacks. Every tool and strategy has its pros and cons, and it is important to know what you are getting into.
