We were much better without any institution, since the future contracts exist we are only falling!
Do you have any news or article with from someone trustworthy? I would like to see that.
From what I saw, by the day that futures came in, they are not the ones responsible for this. New year and chinese new year played a much bigger role in the fall than futures. Futures may have brought a lot of eyes of inexperienced people to bitcoin but that's a good thing to do, unfortunetley they are the ones who panic sell in the slightestes dayprice variation.
