I can't comment about futures but I trade options.
With stocks, the volatility is not because of options. Its because of the underlying product.
But what options affect is liquidity. Options market makers have to do something called "delta hedging". When they write options (puts or calls) they have to long or the short the underlying product so that they are hedged against directional moves. Because options are leveraged 100:1 the MMs are forced to buy/sell the equivalent amount of stock to stay delta hedged. This creates liquidity because the options MMs are forced to constantly trade the stock
For example there are 2 3D stocks SSYS & DDD. They are roughly the same in market cap. SSYS is $5.5B & DDD is $6.1B
SSYS only has monthly options but DDD has weekly options. If you trade both you will find that there is more liquidity in DDD. Its much easier to get in and out of trade and the spread is tighter. So DDD is easier for day trading scalpers to deal with
They are both similar in volatility they both had big rise (200%) and crashed (78% from top). They both have about 40-45% monthly implied volatility
In practice, derivative increased the volatility of the underlying product because of the leverage build into them. |

The miners would not sell on lose, at least the smarter ones, so we know that most of the miners are holding at least half of the mined coins for an eventual bubble.
If they are smart, they would have known it would be cheaper to buy coin directly rather than to mine for it. |

Bitcoin market cap: $8.3 billion Uber the taxi app: $18+ billion Is it just me, or something is wrong with this picture  What exactly would be wrong with that? Here is a hint: Market cap is the collectively assigned value of an investment item by all market participants. To mankind, the value of cryptocurrency should be 10s, 100s, if not 1000s times bigger than a taxi app, not a 46%. The market participants already assigned the value as you have stated here. Not what you think both are worth. |

There are lot of great language features in Java, which is not in this but equally important for making Java, Best programming language of last two decades e.g.
- Java is Secure, security is not only embedded in language, but also provided by platform.
- Java Array is bounded rather than C array, which is unbounded.
- Java is Strongly typed language, which means more help from compiler and easier to manage.
- Rich set of data types
- Rich set of operators
And 2 problems widely known of everyone: -Performance: Java makes simple things complicated, so a simple C++ application will solve the problem faster -String: Java has the worst string management what someone could think. Creating new instances of String or every function just to save the internal literal string is kind of ridiculous. If you find yoursel building a Path you will use so many strings that propably every oher language will do it faster, not to mention the less use of pointers and memory. It is a trade off. You can implement using Java very quick. And you can integrate it with existing open source project with scaling capability. |

I don't use any. I go in bareback,
Just hope you won't regret it in some point of time..! with people always tring to invade your Security privacy and all.. its wiser to have some kind of security to protect yourself online. I use Ubuntu I'm sure I'll be fine. This is only true for now. As soon as the market share is big for Ubuntu, hackers will target the platform and find way to exploit it. |
