let's see if we can trip that circuit breaker on the first day, why don't we?

I am not sure if that would be a good thing or not. It could be interpreted as a bullish signal if it trips it on a pump on the first day.... or it could be considered as "too much volatility" to be taken seriously. It will happen soon anyways, maybe just not today.

Btw, is a 20% on the gemini price what is considered or the price of the futures themselves? I mean.... if the futures are for january'18 a flash pump/dump shouldn't affect it that much. A much smaller constant growth/decline over a few days on the other hand.....

Hey, anyone is playing with that CBOE thing? I started registering, but got bored at second form with all that profiling questions. I laughed on the fact that 100+ trades A YEAR is the higher option on the question about expected activity.

...these people have no idea what they are getting into, do they?

it seems he knows exactly what he's getting into. he's not happy about it, but if you read between the lines, it looks like some of his "larger" clients demand the ability to trade this, and they are not upset about being limited to long orders only...

*edit* - Keep in mind, there is no limit on the supply of fiat. There is a very limited amount of bitcoin available...

Huh. Long only, no shorting. So... take margin long with x1000 times leverage... pump it... profit... does this mean we win?
