Title: BTC futures market? Post by: amspir on January 21, 2015, 02:20:22 AM One of bitcoin's biggest problems is its price volatility.
Also, because of volatility, bitcoin mining is a more speculative investment/business than btc/fiat currency trading. If a futures contract market were to develop for purpose of reducing risk in investing in equipment in BTC mining, would this help to stabilize the USD price of BTC? Would a futures market move the more speculative BTC investors, who are addicted to (and likely cause) the current volatility of BTC, into trading futures rather than BTC?

I think also Bitfinex just implemented it too.
