I would be interested in buying 1 CALL contract (covering 100 BTC) at DEC 31 2014 expiry with strike price $500.
Accepting offers.

Smiley And info on which platform we could reliably actualize this deal. I would imagine interested party would have to transfer his 100 btc to mutually agreed upon escrow person for the duration of the option.

I would like this to be US style option - meaning i can execute it anytime before expiry date.


Nobody in their right mind would write this. It's a virtually guaranteed losing bet. To have any chance of any interest I think you would need to be looking at a strike price of well over $1000 (and even that wouldn't be cheap, given BTC's volatility).
You're right though. There is definitely a market for BTC options.
