Bit Coin futures
 
when you go long coffee, cotton, cattle, gold, silver or any other commodity that has futures trading, you always have the option to take delivery of that item. with Bit Coin, there is no physical product. how does one take delivery on something that does not exist?

I guess the same way one takes delivery when they play S&P Futures. In other words, there is no delivery option - you are just making a bet.

Futures killed the volatility of BTC. It's been stuck between mid 12s-high 13s for quite some time. Staying long, no more trading for me.

Is there anywhere I can invest by betting this fake product bursts into the thin air that it is?

Cryptocurrencies are the monies of the future, they are here to stay. It doesn't surprise me old people don't understand and/or can't grasp the concept.

First I'm now at nearly as old as you think and spent years writing computer code, so put I sock in it. Second, only fools are trading in imaginary currency. I assume you are one.

I'd say when Amazon plans on accepting several cryptocurrencies as payment for goods they should no longer be dismissed as "imaginary."

This "fool" has a ROI of nearly 900% for 2017 in cryptos, how'd your investments do?

Bitcoin is like Tinker Bell. You gotta believe!:p

It is very hard to cash out any significant amount now. Can you imagine when
the house of cards fall :confused:

So what if they are here to stay? What does that have to do with their value and if they are going to get more expensive or less?

Suppose someone had the foresight to purchase (say) $50.00 worth of Bitcoin back in Feb, 2011 or March, 2011...

Fyi, back then a single Bitcoin was selling for approximately one US Dollar.

Right now as I type this, that $50.00 investment would be worth more than $600k.

Would you still characterize that person as a fool?

Yes. Just because there happens to be other fools don't make you less of a fool.
