CoinDCX has two choices on the same underlying asset. #LearnKaroCryptoKaro One costs $50, the other $200 same reason you'd pay more for a ticket expiring tomorrow vs next month urgency, odds, and the market's bet on chaos. Premium isn't a fee It's the probability baked in. Why does one option premium cost 4x more than another time running out. Strike closer to profit Market expecting a bigger move. The premium isn't random it's showing you what the market thinks will happen. Buying a $100k BTC call option expiring next week, premium high because there's little time left and high odds it doesn't hit. Buy the same option expiring in 3 months cheaper. More runway lower urgency premium = the market probability forecast.
