Volatility Voicemail: Options question of the week

The war for #Bitcoin #Derivatives is heating up again. CME Group is launching futures on 12/18. CBOE just announced a 12/10 launch date. Not enough? Nasdaq also announced futures w/ for a planned Q2 2018 launch. With so many choices-How will you trade #Bitcoin in 2018?

  • 52% - CBOE Futures 12/10
  • 27% - CME Futures 12/18
  • 3% - Nasdaq Futures Q2 2018
  • 18% - "Old School" Bitcoin

Listener questions and comments:

  • Comment from Mark Clyde Brant - Who is listing options first? Probably CBOE! But Chicago is taking control of BTC exactly as Al Capone took control of booze distribution. He taught the city well!
  • Question from NomNom - I was excited about #bitcoin but this is giving me pause.

Crystal Ball: Wild and reckless prognostication.
