Greetings Steemit peeps!

I’m not gonna do an intro post. Am just diving right in. You’ll learn about me as we go along.

I’ve been writing for another blog, but decided to migrate over here so I could write whatever I chose. At the moment my interest de jure is anything blockchain. Fell down the rabbit hole months ago and haven’t looked back.

In case you haven’t noticed, the crypto-world appears to suddenly be on MORE fire than normal!!! What’s up with that?!? Sometimes when the market suddenly goes up or down the reason may not be apparent. Usually there’s a reason for huge swings.

Four days ago the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, set up by the US government, gave the green light for the Chicago Mercantile Exchange and the Chicago Board Options Exchange to list Bitcoin on their futures and other related markets.

The blockchain is no longer a teenager. This signals the big boys are getting in. You might want to know the first official day of trading will be December 18th. Best hold onto something. I sense some g-force winds a’commin’.

I've still gotta learn the ropes. Is there a way to add hyperlinks? Here's the source for the news. https://www.investors.com/news/this-is-when-you-can-start-trading-bitcoin-futures/
