Speculation:  Bitcoin crashes when futures go live.  The altcoin rubber-band effect means XMR USD price goes higher initially, several days, then follows BTC down. 

What's the reasoning behind the idea that BTC futures will go down? I get the rest of it.

You can sell futures without borrowing BTC.  If you sell enough, the spot market will follow the futures down as arbitrageurs buy the futures and sell at spot.  If you want to accumulate a lot of BTC step 1 is to push the price down as far as possible. And keep pushing until you are full.  Indeed you might simultaneously go short on the margin markets, and cover both at your preferred bottom. Futures have been used to suppress hard money pricing for decades.

So, it is a self fulfilling prophecy. How much capitol would this take to get that ball rolling do you think? Where would the tipping point be?

Subjective opinion - is 'community' a measurable metric to be trusted?  I never understood how coingecko worked it out.

Futures markets often end up being far bigger and more important than the actual market they are based upon.  So this is entirely possible, even likely.  I have a hedge fund manager friend who pointed this out and told me that it was what the market (they) had been waiting for to get in.

Futures are like margin trading. So shorting or longing Bitcoin. It already exist but not on wall street.   Futures should help stabilize price of Bitcoin so we should not see +10% and -10% a day movements.  but ofcourse it will not stabilize first day. It will push price up a lot and then, might even take years will be huge crash and after that quiet stable price will be found.


After price will stabilize we will get is Bitcoin that will not attract people with x10 price in a year anymore. 90% people now are attracted only by this reason. New people coming after that in Bitcoin will be interested because of technology.

I don't quite understand how futures will affect current Bitcoin price, will Bitcoin futures be redeemable to Bitcoin at the end of each day?

Hmm, that is one way to pocket 31 million. I've never even seen a tether chain explorer, I wonder if there were any exchanges in these "lost" tokens?

Thanks. Is there a list of exchange wallets? You would think so on a centralized token system.

Thanks for that. Happily, it seems they are effectively protecting the interests of legitimate tether holders.  Sadly, there is no real arb on the fade.

I don't know...

Tether always was a scammy shit, take a look in https://tether.to/legal/

Quote
Once you have Tethers, you can trade them, keep them, or use them to pay persons that will accept your Tethers. However, Tethers are not money and are not monetary instruments. They are also not stored value or currency. There is no contractual right or other right or legal claim against us to redeem or exchange your Tethers for money. We do not guarantee any right of redemption or exchange of Tethers by us for money. There is no guarantee against losses when you buy, trade, sell, or redeem Tethers.”



EDIT. For now site is dead.

Yeah, I never understood why people trusted it in the first place, it's just a very large hot potato game. People just gambling that they will not be holding when the music stops. Lol

Or they're just trying to cover their asses for printing hundreds of millions of new tethers these past few months. Blame it on the "hackers" get off scot-free
