“Physically-Settled Bitcoin Futures”



Physically settling virtual coins?

Physically Settled Options - Introduction. Physically Settled Options, or physically delivered options, are options with the physical settlement feature. Physical settlement means the actual underlying asset covered by the terms of the option is given to its holder when the option is exercised.

Nothing to do with physically being able to touch them if that’s what you were thinking.

Interesting article on Slashdot

Dozens of trading groups are manipulating the price of cryptocurrencies on some of the largest online exchanges, generating at least $825 million in trading activity over the past six months -- and hundreds of millions in losses for those caught on the wrong side, according to a Wall Street Journal analysis. From a report:
In a review of trading data and online communications among traders between January and the end of July, the Journal identified 175 "pump and dump" schemes involving 121 different digital coins, which show a sudden rise in price and an equally sudden fall minutes later.

A pump-and-dump scheme is one of the oldest types of market fraud: Traders talk up the price of an asset before dumping it for a profit and leaving fooled investors with shrunken shares. The Securities and Exchange Commission regularly brings civil cases alleging pump and dumps using publicly traded stocks. Manipulations of cryptocurrencies are no different, but regulators have yet to bring a case in the more opaque market for them. The SEC declined to comment.

Where's that no tulip sherlock smilie ...

Unless you really believe in a tulipcoin and have done enough research to make that belief non-delusional, most tulipcoins are only worth a pump and dump.

BitConnect (BCC) up 89% today !

Follows some action by a few of the BCC 'infamous YouTube millionaires'...
a) Trevon James returning to his 'main' YouTube channel 2 days ago, discussing BitConnect and his upcoming SEC testify
b) Graig Grant starting to mention BitConnect more
c) Crypto Clover returning from Vietnam stopped and interrogated at a US airport by the FBI yesterday

All three have spent the last 8 months shilling, playing and mastering the Ethereum 'dapp, smart contract' ponzi/pyramid market -
including releasing their own smart contract clones.
Grant's shilling March/April time is arguably responsible for the takeoff and success of PowH3D and all subsequence related smart contracts.

BitconnectX (https://bitconnectx.co/) has been lying dormant for months since its ICO ... is it dead .. or ... ?

Something's afoot.
