Do bitcoin futures make the bitcoin price crash?

I think not. I saw a stat that said 600+ futures contracts with January 2018 expiry already sold and many more with March 2018 expiry awaiting to be sold. The value shouln't get impacted. infact I believe this will push the prices of bitcoin up after a short correction.

The buyers in the futures market are seprate from the buyers of actual Bitcoin.

Bitcoin may experience an attempt at manipulation from time to time.
But the futures market only brings in buyers that would not have explored this option before.
All the press, hedge fund, and broker interest in Bitcoin has only solidified its permanency.
Short sellers will get squeezed with no mercy.

The more Bitcoin is talked about, the more exploratory buyers will adventure in.
Any 'crash' will quickly be bought up and a floor will be established.
It will never go to zero.
They have had 8 years to stomp out Bitcoin, it is far too late for that now.
Governments will only incorporate it to suit their own needs and perceptions, as greed & profit will prevail.

Thanks for your explanation.

Rightly pointed that the Future market will bring in stability and the (+-)20% fluctuation will stop.
Going forward the Bitcoin might not go up or down as it used to be. and that is good for the future and for the people.

No, I don't think so, they are different from each other. I think bitcoin will still remain high even if there are new coins will be available. Bitcoin is the 1st crypto and I think the price of bitcoin will continue to rise.

No, I do not think so. Moreover these Bitcoin futures show that now more people trust BTC and believe into its cool future.

However, futures do usually track spot price. That may be because a professional trader will probably want to hedge with the underlying asset. So if futures go parabolic, they might buy more btc to cover some of their losses if they are in a short (sell) position and vice versa.
Demand for bitcoin, therefore, may rise as a hedge.
