I believe that bitcoin futures will help to lower its volatility, there will be no more strong growth in value, in time it will become less speculative.

i think bitcoin is a bright future in all man kind.coz bitcoin through already $20k. i hope 2018 it price increase will be 50k.

I think bitcoin will have good days ahead especially that many potentials investors who are really very influential in the business industry today which would be actually someone to look forward to on these upcoming day. Let us just be optimistic in the upcoming day and hold and never panic no matter what happens.

The investors need to pull in more money into the markets for it to grow

Only mass adoption will eventually lead to a stable market, and even when that happens manipulation will be possible, as it is possible on stocks, that are very liquid. That's why they have very strict regulation, to try to prevent there, and even with that, manipulation happens, so we will hardly ever have a completely free of manipulation market.

With futures, the market manipulation actually increased in my opinion, because we know have big sharks in an unregulated pool, full of fishes like us. It's a feast for them, and they will take advantage of that while they can. We can't fight them unless we hold our coins, and more people start moving in. Even all their money is less than the money of entire populations buying into the market. So only when mass adoption occurs, we will have a stable market.

Oh the XBT, since its announcement in December 18 I think, there are thousands of volume traded, but after that its price continue to fall the same time bitcoin price fall. But after Feb 5, its price spikes and recover again just then again the bitcoin price. So basically, I can see XBT is a good option to be traded by those who need a more large and secure trading accounts. However, because it is more regulated and possibly taxable which ended in lesser income.

Yes the bitcoin  is the future of investor or traders of bitcoin Because bitcoin is one of indemand digital crypto and social job.

The fact that there are financial guarantees for transactions with bitcoin derivatives is undoubtedly capable of increasing the investment attractiveness, and hence the demand for the underlying asset and its price. This means that the global demand for bitcoins and market liquidity will significantly increase. Given the limited resource and predictable emission of "digital gold", these factors should significantly increase the price and at the same time reduce its volatility. And this will make bitcoin even more attractive for long-term investments.

I think the future of bitcoin will grow even if slowly.
because there are still some countries that think negatively with the investment of bitcoin, they still do not believe in this virtual currency, which they should learn and understand the existence of this bitcoin, or the positive side of this bitcoin, and I am sure they will be left behind with technological advances that are growing rapidly nowadays, (they are too monotonous).
if we take the positive side of this bitcoin, we will get a lot of knowledge about the investment world of bitcoin, and we will also get a lot of work that we can get from this bitcoin, and as a means of saving for our future and our family later.

bitcoin future is bright, as long as the bitcoin holders, users, and investors still exist.
with this community, bitcoin will grow even more and attract the other peoples to use bitcoin.
