Thoughts on Bitcoin Futures?

[BrewMaster]

Hi, I was curious what your thoughts are on Bitcoin Futures. Do you think this is a positive opportunity for Bitcoin investors? Or, do you think this will thwart the growth of physical bitcoin?

Someday in the future, bitcoin will destroy the balance in the global market, it will dominate all over other currencies, all due to its very high demand and the advancing technology. It will be go and satisfy those who clings to it. And massive force of government will push through to ban it. And maybe government vs bitcoin war.

Do not expect. Governments will lead the war against bitcoin. They work with banks in the same boat. Banks cannot exist without government and government cannot exist without banks. And all of them are parasitic on humans. They can't and won't exist without our money. Bitcoin is our chance to escape from the hands of corrupt officials.

that is what worries me too. i want to say these attacks won't be affecting bitcoin because it is decentralized and bigger than the government and banks can cause it any harm but when i look at most of the investors in bitcoin who only are in it for a quick amount of profit and care for nothing else, i say we have a big fight ahead of us which we may not win if we continue this way.

I think its price will rise up to $100,000. But also its price go down for some time.

Price will go down but not that much because bitcoin has created a favorable situation for the investors to come and invest and get the higher profit and all this is showing the serious high curve in the market price graph and this will continue for forever because bitcoin community will grow more day by day and this thing will give huge havoc of high prices so there is no effect of fall now because prices are very high nowadays.

Actually i have read a couple articles suggesting that the introduction of futures trading might affect the price of bitcoin in a slightly negative way. This is because the new traders that will come into the market with futures will have the ability to short it much easier than the already existing traders. Shorting means the are going to be on quick sells and falls in the price, these new traders are more of the traditional traders and have access to much more sophisticated equipment and date in terms of trading. They will also bring in large amounts of money to the market and with that comes stronger ability to affect price changes. Having said that it could go either way but if they want they could change the market sentiment in a matter of minutes or seconds.

Yes,there would be huge manipulation of bitcoin price by speculators.Since bitcoin futures is cash settled,bitcoins could be delivered even during the expiry date.So,even bitcoin price could crash just as it happened in 1600s in tulips which were also sold on contracts without actually owning tulips.

I find any reason such a drastical issue with bitcoin. Price manipulation is true, but the same won't make it fall low being a virtual asset. If this has got a state of visibility none could have mentioned that it would collapse as tulips that took place in the past or something similar to the dotcom bubble bursting.

As of now still no one can predict what would happen in bitcoin in the future. However, I do believe that bitcoin will be have good effect in our economy and it will help us to have better future. Lastly, I think bitcoin has a good future for all investors like it will help them to gain much income.

Basing from the current situation of Bitcoin today, I can say that it will grow further to the point that majority of transactions will be done using it as the means of payment.

I am thinking that bitcoin will be gone in the future. So as long as we are making money out of bitcoin. We should save some for the future. But we cannot say what will happen in the coming years.

actually there are many thoughts running in my mind about the bitcoin. the first is:is the bitcoin can have a good career this year?we know the career of the bitcoin in the year of 2017. the increasing rate of price is very rapid or very fast. from 1000$-20000$ but we know it is not straight, it has a fluctuating state. now there are many altcoins that made and i think that the bitcoin will feel difficulty in comparison into the other alternative coins.but i hope that the price will keep up and up

I think bitcoin has a very bright future and I'm sure many people will earn a lot from this crypto currency. In the previous years bitcoin has proven its stability and good value appreciation it become a big hit in 2017 after hitting the highest price of almost $20000 from $8000. I am confident the history can happen again soon and there is a possibilities that bitcoin can be popular around the world more than it is today.

Bitcoin has a bright future. The purpose for which Bitcoin has been invented will be successful in the future. It's a great opportunity for investors. Not only in the future, Bitcoin currently specially helps people. I think Bitcoin will change the lives of people in the future. Work for the people of the country and the country. Will play a significant role in the country's economy.

I think bitcoin futures are a double-edged sword. Since the launch of bitcoin futures last year, the circulation of bitcoin has expanded. This may be a good opportunity for those professional investment institutions. They have more powerful information and capital advantages than ordinary investors. Future bitcoin will be more volatile after introducing futures trading.

Bitcoin Futures has no connection with regularly available bitcoin, as per I know. I think this one may help you

Talking about the future of bitcoin, no one can say anything for certain. But having said that, bitcoin’s future is most likely to only grow. For starters, scalability is the most pressing issue here that means the number of transactions the bitcoin network can process is not enough. But this aspect is something that developers are constantly working upon. A number of solutions keep on introduced in the crypto marketspace by researchers, analysts and bitcoin enthusiasts.

I think bitcoin futures are a positive opportunity for bitcoin investors.
because futures offer a fast and cost-effective way to trade financial markets and commodities.
to buy or sell certain assets at a set price in the future.
in the quantity and quality specified.
traders around the globe use futures to seek profit in the changing market.

I think that bitcoin in the future will still be good and most likely price value will continue to grow in the crypto market. Many people will continue to invest with bitcoin since they are seeing it as a potential coin for investment that can gain generous profit.

It’s been a big year for bitcoin, and it could go bigger soon.

STOP! Read this post carefully and then proceed to comment, when you understand what this topic is all about. There are too many posters in this thread, that are not commenting on the actual topic that are being discussed.

The topic being discussed here is about, Bitcoin Futures. A futures contract is an agreement to buy or sell an asset at a future date at an agreed-upon price. Futures contracts are standardized agreements that typically trade on an exchange. One party to the contract agrees to buy a given quantity of securities or a commodity, and take delivery on a certain date.

Bitcoin futures allow traders the opportunity to make a trade decision based on where they think the price of bitcoin will be in the future. < cash-settled >

This topic is about a Financial instrument, linked to Bitcoin NOT about the future of Bitcoin. Here is a recent article that would explain it. https://tickertape.tdameritrade.com/trading/what-are-how-to-trade-bitcoin-futures-16213

If you comment about the future of Bitcoin, after this post, then you are a shit poster, because you have not read any of the posts, including this one and your post should be deleted. <because it is off-topic>

Ok, back to OP's question. ^phew^  

I think, Bitcoin Futures will definitely have an impact on Bitcoin, because it takes money away from possible direct investment in Bitcoin trading. People are dumping their money into useless financial instruments like this, where no actual ownership of any bitcoin takes place. People should avoid this and simply buy and sell bitcoins, directly!
