The first Bakkt Bitcoin Futures trade

[vintages]

It's interesting to see the market now. After Bakkt launch, the price triggered to be down, and now, bitcoin reach $8k, and it stays in that price. Many people were expected to see the increasing of the price but the fact, the price is down deeper. It could be the benefit for people who wants to buy more bitcoin but also this could be a loss for people who already buy bitcoin at a higher price. But we need to calm down for a while to wait for the bitcoin price increases again. Meanwhile, we could load more bitcoin in our wallet so we will be ready when the price can jump to the higher price in the next months. Although we don't have any sign about when the price will increase, I am sure bitcoin will rise again.

Sure, Bitcoin price will rise again, that I am quite certain of. But the price decrease is indeed a shock to many, cause many didn't expect it.
As Bakkt went live, many expected the price of Bitcoin to rise since it creation is another exposure to Bitcoin adoption. However, when the price dropped to 9k, FOMO made a lot of people to sell further.

Many people think that after BAKKT is live, the price of bitcoin can rise sharply, but the opposite is true. Maybe this happened because of excessive expectations and not in line with many investor expectations because it turned out that the volume of BAKKT transactions was not large and even tended to be very small compared to the long-time exchanger

I just don't know that after Bakkt launched, we all knows that Bitcoin dropped from 10, 115$ to 8500$ in accordance with the coinmarketcap
https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/bitcoin/ probably, some of the community after bakkt launching they are expecting that bitcoin will immediately increase its price in the market, but what happened instead of that it dropped so much, However even its happened I can still consider it as a good timing to buy Bitcoin or some other altcoins.

Finally, it's lived now. I wonder what will happen in the next few hours after this. Will it affect the bitcoin price, and we will see the next higher price, or it will remain like the price now?

What do you think, guys? I don't know if the news is real or not, I just read on twitter

Bakkt saw 18 Bitcoins yesterday morning. Has someone information about how much Bakkt saw today?

There is no loss until you sell. Those who faithfully keep their coins and wait for the storm to pass, will eventually overcome it. Panic only makes people react impulsively and mistakenly. You need to act cold, which is why you were supposed to invest something you didn't mind "losing" in the first place, so that you become unaffected by these normal price fluctuations. Just wait it out, or take the chance to buy cheap coins while they last.

I am not selling my bitcoin, I still hold it in my ledger. I am trying to be a strong holder while I am trying to buy more bitcoin. And now, I see a good chance to add more bitcoin into my wallet, and I am sure that when the price increase more than now, I can make a big profit too. Staying calm will be the best thing that we can do at this moment because if we panic, we cannot see a clear sign to buy bitcoin at a low price.

Yeah, many people shocked to see the price can reach $8k level price because some of them are not guessing the price can do that. But that is what happens now, and we could only follow the price and buy more bitcoin if we want. These situations make us more careful to decide because the price can go anywhere without we can expect.

I am sure that many traders were expecting the start of Bitcoin futures trading, but unforeseen circumstances occurred on the cryptocurrency market and the price of Bitcoin fell.  Many people today express their opinion that it was the beginning of the trading of Bitcoin futures that caused the price of Bitcoin to drop, but in my opinion there are much more facts in the information space that could affect the entire cryptocurrency market non-negatively.  I believe that the increased pressure from the governments of many states today on cryptocurrencies is caused by just such negative consequences and I do not want to talk about bad ones, but if this trend continues, then improvements in the cryptocurrency market are not expected in the near future.

We've all seen the potential short-term impact of the launch on the market (if Bakkt is to blame), but the long-term influence is yet to be determined. Just like the overall success or failure of the project itself, by the way. I guess the first days are not as exciting as Bakkt would want us to think. It's just thousands of dollars which seems close to nothing (by the way, the CME futures had more contracts within the first hour than Bakkt within the first day). Moreover, there haven't been any updates on Twitter after the second day of trading which might hint that the situation got even worse.

On the long term, it should be good.

On short term (next hours), it's up to day traders and speculators. Imho the price was decreasing artificially during the weekend. It may reverse or not. Or we may see a short pump and dump. Or a bull run could start. Did I miss anything? LoL. It's very hard to predict and many say what they wish instead of what could really happen.

I kinda wish for a pump, no matter if it's short lived or not.

You are right, the launch of the Bakkt platform will have a very positive effect on the price of Bitcoin in the long term. A new investment opportunity has just arisen and it needs time to attract serious investments. As we already see now, the rally with the release of the news did not happen. The reasons for this are a decrease hash rate of Bitcoin and, possibly, some negative news that came out in parallel with the launch of Bakkt.

The Launch of Bakkt was a disappointing one. There were so many rumors and hype in the market that bakkt platform will change the crypto market and there will be a lot of volume. But we see nothing of this kind. In-fact the opposite of this happen and bitcoin price went below 9000$ for the very first time in last 4 3 to 4 months.

Even it was disappointing, I guess we have a golden ticket to buy bitcoin at a very low price now. I see the price was trying to increase, but I am not sure that if it just temporary and will get down again or not. But if I check on the chart by daily, it seems, the reverse will be coming in the next week (maybe and I hope).

But if it's not coming, I think we need to wait and still hold bitcoin for more. The bakkt is just beginning, but that will give a positive effect in the future because bitcoin now become popular in public and I am sure that soon, people will come to the cryptocurrency world. Maybe we need to give more time to bitcoin to increase the price.

However, this is only an assumption that Bakkt will still positively affect Bitcoin. So far, I see a small attraction of large investors to Bakkt and the beginning of a bear market without the recovery of Bitcoin but who knows what will be further.

This is pretty good however we need more exchanges to start trading btc futures because only when lot of exchanges have these futures market manipulations of prices like pumping and dumping would stop. We have heard that recently Wilshire phoenix have created Bitcoin ETF however SEC has delayed it's decision therefore price was dumped. So it's a good headstart but let's see where we will head with these futures.

i think it was a mere coincidence that prices have dumped after bakkt futures have started. i think this dump was due to delayed decision of SEC on ETF. Moreover technicals also validate this bearish phase so I think its normal coincidence. We have recently phased a death crossover on daily chart.

Bakkt still not have good positive effect for bitcoin price right now, bitcoin keep with lower price after discussion about Bakkt and SEC to legal bitcoin and want to promote bitcoin to the world.

It should probably be a goodthing in the long term but as of now, I dont think its possible to see any positive benefits it can give out. Assuming that it can hold out to the point where it can pull benefits by itself already. It appears quite weak since it really was kind of hyped too much but it should surely bring about benefits if it can stand its ground.

I am excited to see that finally bitcoin futures have started trading at bakkt. This has become a viral topic for bitcoin community as we are expecting a little bit of price increase given this event. But though there was no price increase but it is still a good news. The most important part is that it started and soon the volume of transactions will increase and possibly that will mean a price lift for bitcoin. Anyway I have encountered a post here in this forum and I found out that bakkt is not the only website exchange that engages in Bitcoin Futures so I recommend to you guys to check it out here is the link:
