Bitcoin Futures

[tee-rex]

Heyyy Guys , what do you think about the Bitcoin futures listings ?

As long as they remain cash settled, which they are as far as I know, they are pretty irrelevant. Cash-settled futures are futures that don't require actual physical delivery of the underlying asset, which would be bitcoin in this case, but rather settling the associated position with cash, for example, dollars. Therefore, I don't think they are going to affect bitcoin prices in any significant degree if at all.

Answer to this question is quiet difficult. Since last one year bitcoin price is rising continuously with great pace. Its popularity is increasing day by day, its unexpectedly raised price is attracting investors towards it. Due to limited supply and increasing demand bitcoin has become the most volatile currency. If bitcoin developed with such a pace it has bright future ahead and may achieve target predicted by John Mcafee. But sudden rise in price also worried many experts, they term this sudden price rise as a bubble. Illegal activities also started using bitcoins in their trade. As a result many countries like China, Japan, India, Australia, Indonesia banned/ regulated bitcoin transactions. If this continuous to other nations then bitcoin future is not promising.

Like you said, bitcoin future is difficult to explain the future.
Nobody know what will be the future. But i am sure nothing will stay exist all the time. Will come the where everything down. Now speak about this year only, bitcoin is more popular and increase the price.

This is actually a big point that I didn't think of beforehand. This would have a big effect on the actual impact that futures would be having on the marketplace, and if it is true that they're cash-settled then there's going to be no real movement from the market aside from speculation and normal volatility.

It almost feels like cheating, to be honest. Not having to deliver a commodity and instead of covering the positions with a cash reimbursement? Seems like gambling and speculating on numbers more than a real investment or option.

Welcome to reality, bro! This is what the best part of the derivatives markets, be it gold, oil, or whatever, consists of. As you said, it is essentially gambling or even cheating, and real merchants, vendors as well as producers have to use special techniques such as hedging to get rid of the speculative part of respective markets. Hopefully, this is not the case with bitcoin so far. At least, not until both cash-settled and physical delivery futures are traded together at the same exchanges.

Right now market participants can tell real bitcoins from imaginary ones. That's the reason why the latter ain't going to affect bitcoin prices significantly.

I wonder if they will continue to trade at a premium in times of major market volatility

The future of bitcoin is very shined.Though it is a cryptocurrency people all over the world are using it and getting a good profit.Moreover day by day it's user is increasing and increasing.That's why I have told that future of bitcoin is very good.

The futures market is about to start trading right away. There are two factors: First, futures are leveraged so more money can be brought. Perhaps this is the fastest way for BTC to go to the moon. At the same time, the current stock of funds Not enough to support BTC continue to rise. Second, futures can be short, of course, for those of us to buy more to see the more risky, on the other hand can also balance the BTC price.

We will see how will it affect Bitcoin as other listing actually did more harm then improvements. In the following weeks we will have our answers.

Personally, my opinion bitcoin will be growing and growing. Bitcoin has got legitimacy in almost all countries. Nowadays, Bitcoin is used as a medium of exchange for the market through.That's why Bitcoin is jumping and jumping.Everyone will be informed about bitcoin in the future.

I don't really see the point of this.  If you want to participate in the upside (or downside) of Bitcoin without having actual exposure to holding cryptocurrency, then you shouldn't be in this space in the first place.

Future bitcoins can disappear really this is really a joke. But it can happen if there is an altcoin capable of attracting many traders and investors.  I believe the future of bitcoin is the end of its golden age.

I read that the futures were sold for December 2018, at a price of 50k.
I wonder how it will be closed at the rate of 100k.

Regardless, most people are in bitcoin exclusively for profits anyway, which are counted in dollars, euro, or whatever. When you are not exposed to holding real coins, you are not in that "space" by definition. Well, that's how I myself see it. Apart from that, if you are in for the downside of bitcoin, you are not exposed to holding any coins either if I got your point correctly. Do you refer to shorting bitcoin as being in the downside ?

i think it is was great at the future because of its possibility to increase the amount of users so there is so much thing to happen at the future maybe its good or bad we know that prediction is not a reality so we find out that when it comes to the day!

Bitcoin will really increase its value even more in the future, The value already surpass the $10k dollars which different speculations are expecting and now it is already at $13k so it is not impossible that bitcoins might reach $20k before the year 2018 ends.

There are two possibilities, a development which is a good news for investors or a possible crash that can affect the system for some time.

1. Bitcoin will still be king
2. More institutions will join the fray
3. Regulators also ready to jump in
4. Volatility will still be synonymous
