I don't fully understand the Futures market.
How could futures impact bitcoin and its price?
Bitcoin futures by top companies will help make bitcoin go mainstream and also boost the bitcoin price as well.
Asides this, I really do not see any much effect it would have and the mainstream is just going to make it popular and create some awareness anyway.
A lot of people have been very skeptical with the whole CME futures, but I see it as a platform to set us up and even though we may feel the wall street guys who are hardcore manipulators could really have a chance on the system, then those who want to get scared would be the ones to lose out.
