When will Bitcoin options start trading?

CBOE will definitely eventually offer options. Ledger X is offering options right now but you have to pretty much be a big fish,hedge fund, etc. Pretty cool firm/ exchange
 
Implied volatility for Bitcoin options must be higher than the height (or depths) of the financial crisis,

So even if options existed right now...you'd have to take on some serious risks and assume some serious moves.

Bitcoin is a long shot right now -- there are other ways to make money in the market, besides betting/trading this wildcard joker entity.

I can’t imagine a sane person that would make markets in volatility on this beast. Even if you call the vol right, between gaps, unpredictable liquidity and uncertain regulatory future, most people will stay away

As long as you don't end up with a short put imbalance, you could do quite well with this (and, actually this isn't a problem now that there's a futures contract). It's pretty straight forward how to hedge this, especially with a continuously traded asset. The premiums in play would be astronomical, and the spreads ample to justify the risk.
