While no one knows for sure, more than a few have leaned in to give their opinions on where BTC will go after wall street attempts to sink its teeth in.

The easy answer would be that more money means bigger numbers, but there are alternative theories abound.

It seems that no one can even agree if it will have a stabilizing effect, or spur on another frenzy of volatility, as claimed by the CEO of Bitmex, which currently dominates the Bitcoin derivatives market that has already been flourishing outside of the regulatory sphere.

This is No DotCom Bubble

If you already know your way around the markets and first begin trading actively cryptocurrencies, you might notice some very close resemblances.

But there are a few important differences.

To begin with, don’t underestimate the power of social networks and instant messaging in driving mass awareness.

Back in the heyday of Qualcomm and Juniper Networks (for those of you too young to know or remember were the biggest bull stocks in the “Naz” aka Nasdaq), people communicated via landline phones and things took a considerable amount of time to spread. Now, news dissipates to a global audience basically in real-time.

And let’s not forget that the market for tech stocks was heavily concentrated in the US. The market for Bitcoin is the whole world!

Let that sink in for a moment — every human being with a computer or smartphone can now buy and sell bitcoins. This is unprecedented in the financial world.

Finally, this is the first time in a long time where the 1% — the traditional power and banking elite — aren’t the early ones! (Keep in mind we’re speaking relatively here, as there still a long way to go in this revolution).

And herein, lies the significance of the ‘Bitcoin Futures Arriving at the CME’, the title of this modest article.
