- I've been a stock futures/options trader for over 10 years and the volatility of BItcoin is way too much to expect institutional investors to buy BTC futures (or Short sell them). This kind of volatility could make speculators millions in no time and could make institutional investors go bust likewise also - unless of course the exhchanges put enforced circult limits.
Anyway, the thing to take out of this is that institutional investors have finally now started taking Bitcoin more seriously and that could lead to huge price inflation once more money starts flowing into bitcoin.
