If you want institutional money, if you want big traders money for Bitcoin you can't avoid derivatives...
Moreover futures can be very useful for all the miners, they are able to sell at fixed prices several weeks or months before getting their bitcoins.
And don't forget that most of futures exchanges only accept bitcoins. So you need to buy "real" bitcoins before trading on them.
Why the fuck do you want them involved at all?
This is a revolution of the people, WE don't need nor want them.
Figures don't lie but liars figure. <<<--- that describes the entire institutional banking system and we should not want them involved on the NEW economy.
We were doing just fine until they started their futures market and skimmed the cap and got their greedy little hands in our pie.
Its not bitcoin needs Wall Street. It's Wall Street that needs bitcoin.
