Thank you for your thoughts though they are contrarian. Derivatives were termed as 'tools for mass destruction' by none other than Warren Buffet. However, it is the indiscipline amongst Traders that brings forth this 'destruction'. The best proof is Mr. Buffet's portfolio where a significant chunk is on these instruments. Derivatives are great instruments if used for hedge and disastrous if identified as a tool to 'windfall gains'. A solid Exchange where the calculations are in place ensures that Options never skew the underlying. Crypto is all for technology and the real value is attributed through the usage and use cases but over a period of time, a mature exchange that assures the correct 'Open Interest' driven liquidity in the market will increase participation and increase the Community.
