I think I need more coffee.

May I have some too, please?

Let's say I have 1 million dollars and 20 BTC (I haven't). I don't want to spend my dollars do buy more BTC for reasons.

Is there a way, playing with futures, that I can get more dollars, more BTC, or more dollars, same BTC, or more BTC, same dollars, in the end ?

Not that I know.*

The system outlined in the previous posts by somac., Biodom and others has only two outcomes: (a) more dollars, less (or equal) btc; (b) same dollars, more btc. In both cases, the total dollar value at the moment of the outcome is more than the value at the start.

* (As if I would tell you if I knew! All bitcoinz belongz to me!)

Case b is OK.

As for case a, can I estimate my risk ? Depending on what it is, I could cover it by buying some additional BTC (granted, I said I didn't want to).

I posted an ELI5 a little later. TL;DR Number go up =(a) less corn. Number go down = (b) moar corn. Number same = same corn.

Estimate the risk of number go up/down? I wish I could. It's all SOMA!
