If I remember rightly LedgerX was one of the countless things that was going to 'save' us what seems like years ago now. Then we never heard of it again. What did we need "saving" from? They were granted DCO and SEF registration by the CFTC in July 2017. The price went parabolic shortly afterwards, although it was probably just one provider of hype especially when compared to Segwit activation. I've heard LedgerX's volumes have been increasing considerably over time but I can't seem to find data anywhere. Either way, I think futures/forwards are a much bigger deal and will see much higher demand than the options and swaps markets they already offer.

What did we need "saving" from? An unacceptably low price of course. There've been several things that were hyped up as game changers and then completely disappeared on arrival. LedgerX was one of them. The latest one was probably the S10 crypto wallet.

1) Self-Custody is a right. There is no such thing as "non-custodial" or "un-hosted." 2) ESG, KYC & AML are attack-vectors on Bitcoin to be avoided or minimized. 3) How much alt (shit)coin diversification is necessary? if you are into Bitcoin, then 0%......if you cannot control your gambling, then perhaps limit your alt(shit)coin exposure to less than 10% of your bitcoin size...Put BTC here: bc1q49wt0ddnj07wzzp6z7affw9ven7fztyhevqu9k

It's not launching on July 22nd. They're initiating 'user acceptance testing' whatever that means. My guess is that they'll be long beaten to market by others. I don't really understand the nuances but it looks like they are seeking NYDFS approval first to persuade CTFC to approve them. I don't really get how LedgerX got it already if they can't.

At the Q3 prediction game, I only have a 97.50 dollar window to win: 18,655 xyz 18,700 LoyceV 18,950 snowyNNN For BAKKT on the other hand: 25322 crazy-igzo 30645 LoyceV Anything from 27984 dollar to infinity makes me a winner! I'd say the chance of me winning BAKKT is about 60 times more likely than me winning Q3, and if I look at historic performance on https://bitcoinaverage.com/en/bitcoin-price/btc-to-usd, it could take anywhere from 3 weeks to 3 years

Nothing much it seems. "Testing" started yesterday. Announcing the testing phase and hyping it up feels like a delay tactic. Who cares about testing? They still don't seem to have a launch date for trading. https://twitter.com/Bakkt/status/1153386876801310730Today kicks off user acceptance testing @ICE_Markets for the Bakkt Bitcoin Daily & Monthly Futures contracts
Testing is proceeding as planned with participants from around the world

Considering they wanted to open it last year already, it's actually quite sad to see they've only reached a testing phase now.

Well, what do you know, Bakkt is testing, following all the delays to launch. What were they doing before today then? Not testing?
Since we're talking about probility, I wager there's a higher chance of BTC dipping momentarily to my price guess of 8888 just before Bakkt launches, than there is of Bakkt launching without another new date.

Time to bring this thread back to life? https://medium.com/bakkt-blog/cleared-to-launch-8dfc3e6f9ed0One year ago, we announced our ambitious vision to bring institutional infrastructure to digital assets with an end-to-end regulated marketplace. That vision will be realized on September 23 when Bakkt launches custody and physically-delivered daily and monthly bitcoin futures contracts in partnership with ICE Futures U.S. and ICE Clear US.

Almost forgot about it to be honest. And now that we're a month away, plus 17 days means we have exactly 40 days and nights til the outcome of this competition is decided... providing our friends at Bakkt keep their word, of course! Am I feeling good about my $8888 price prediction? Why not? Most chartings seem to show a slightly downward trend for the mid term view. How're you doing my man micG?

You do realise you already lost, right? It's the highest price (Bitstamp BTC/USD) reached between the start and end of the game. And that one is $13880... Only EatonABooger (current leader) and those with higher prices have a chance to win...

Hahahahaa Even though I have some reservations about these kinds of games, it is interesting to see that the rules of this particular game had incentivized bullish predictions, even if some of the actual game participants might NOT have read (or understood) the actual rules language.

I'm sure we all realize we lost, I just saw the news and figured I should share with everyone here since I'm sure the last 5 people participating are probably dying to know. But the real reason is that I'm sure we all would like some bullish news for bitcoin, that was the philosophy of this whole competition no?

Ah yes I did know I lost a long while back, the smiley face sad face thingie micg did helps remind me every time haha. My English I just realised totally said something else but I meant to say I think we are still going down, so the winner is probably not going to change in 40 days. Can I blame typing and thinking on mobile? Bitcoin does have a strange way of proving predictions wrong so throwing my hat into da ring of destiny.
