Well, what happens when JPM sells naked gold futures in crazy large size?


I don't trade /GC, so you gold traders can correct me, by my understanding is that these paper gold futures lead the spot price. Same for silver. There is vastly more paper gold and silver than there is physical. This is supposedly how they keep driving down the price of gold and silver.

Since the CME BTC futures will be a cash settled future, you could call it "paper Bitcoin", just like paper gold and paper silver. The nominal amount of BITCOIN futures will be vastly greater than the physical.

Once the CME futures open, Jamie Dimon rules Bitcoin.

I don't see myself trading the futures, but soon after this there will be options on futures and there should be a lot of juice in those. So I am interested.

Also, based on the futures they can create legit ETFs just like the vol products -- leveraged, inverse, long duration, etc. And then there will be options on the ETFs, and I will want to trade these.

It's all good.


Kinda reminds me of Deadwood when George Hearst showed up, though.

GC is a deliverable, not cash settled.

So if I have to guess overnight margin could be 1.5k to 3k range

I think the reason that there is more trader on bitcoin and crypt and the reason and simple any one can make profit and win money the second reason know that trader are human do not know robots or algo so more easy to trade and win money on a movement on trade to win money and not for loss money so on a bullish movement everyone wins, that all

@k7ler

You are correct 100% k7ler

with the recent events concerning BTC hard fork cancellation and BCH making insane gains, how does this play into the bitcoin futures?

BTC BCH are separate blockchain so it seems impossible to average a contract for both especially if BCH dominates BTC in mining power


fwiw I wouldnt bother with specific crypto contracts because the space is still too new, theres not even earnings for crying out loud

at the very most have an industry contract like miniSP and see how it plays out for 12mths before adding specific contracts for whatever survivors exist in the space
