Futures is only for the whales so they can dump their BTC, and buy insurance to cover the drop in price with 'shorts'
Anybody else than whales that buys futures, will lose their ass.
Serious ppl who day-trade BTC, will continue to buy the real thing
Futures are a 'derivative', meaning that they have NOTHING to do with the real-thing
I agree with this, derivative doesn't have connections with Bitcoin, am i getting it right? CME's Bitcoin Futures will not give any good thing to the real crypto-Bitcoin World. Futures is for whales who wants to manipulate Bitcoin's price or get the benefit of Bitcoin e.g. world wide investors with a lot of money flowing on it, This should be a warning for all of us, Bitcoin is much more volatile now.
