Thanks Hive account@virtualworld92. In your last paragraph do you really mean to use the word "reliability"? I ask that because of my sense that one foundation of futures trading is that it helps market participants in addressing unreliability of prices. Or do I have this wrong?

More importantly, I have been assuming that the Big Boys with their trading robots have been "chomping at the bit" to get into derivative instruments in the cryptocurrencies precisely because of the huge volatility. This volatility promises huge short-term profits (and losses of course) for these traders. No?
