RE: Futures Products only adding to the popularity of Bitcoin

in #bitcoin7 years ago

Yes that is the point though, the market is way too small to bring down the global economy. The housing market that took us down in the 08 crisis was in the trillions. This is barely in the hundreds of billions.

Sort:  

The Bitcoin future trading market is a cash settled derivative market. It has nothing to do with the Bitcoin spot market. People can bid in trillions in future market despite the Bitcoin spot market is in billions. As long as there is one seller matching one buyer for a contract, the brokerages can sell billions of these kind of contracts if they are crazy enough.
