Actually i have read a couple articles suggesting that the introduction of futures trading might affect the price of bitcoin in a slightly negative way. This is because the new traders that will come into the market with futures will have the ability to short it much easier than the already existing traders. Shorting means the are going to be on quick sells and falls in the price, these new traders are more of the traditional traders and have access to much more sophisticated equipment and date in terms of trading. They will also bring in large amounts of money to the market and with that comes stronger ability to affect price changes. Having said that it could go either way but if they want they could change the market sentiment in a matter of minutes or seconds.
Yes,there would be huge manipulation of bitcoin price by speculators.Since bitcoin futures is cash settled,bitcoins could be delivered even during the expiry date.So,even bitcoin price could crash just as it happened in 1600s in tulips which were also sold on contracts without actually owning tulips.

I think its price will rise up to $100,000. But also its price go down for some time.
Price will go down but not that much because bitcoin has created a favorable situation for the investors to come and invest and get the higher profit and all this is showing the serious high curve in the market price graph and this will continue for forever because bitcoin community will grow more day by day and this thing will give huge havoc of high prices so there is no effect of fall now because prices are very high nowadays. 
Hi, I was curious what your thoughts are on Bitcoin Futures. Do you think this is a positive opportunity for Bitcoin investors? Or, do you think this will thwart the growth of physical bitcoin?
Someday in the future, bitcoin will destroy the balance in the global market, it will dominate all over other currencies, all due to its very high demand and the advancing technology. It will be go and satisfy those who clings to it. And massive force of government will push through to ban it. And maybe government vs bitcoin war. that is what worries me too. i want to say these attacks won't be affecting bitcoin because it is decentralized and bigger than the government and banks can cause it any harm but when i look at most of the investors in bitcoin who only are in it for a quick amount of profit and care for nothing else, i say we have a big fight ahead of us which we may not win if we continue this way.

Thiughts? As being futuristic, I see bitcoin as a currency that is used by all countries in different ways like it is a real money, for example when you are about to it on a fastfood chain restaurant like KFC and McDonald's that you do not need to pull out money to pay you can use bitcoin instead to pay for it . And in addition, for the answer to your question I think it is good for investor to give a look for bitcoin, because as of now bitcoin value is continuesly growing bigger and bigger so their investment really sure a worth to invest.
- Best source of future income
- Reducing poverty
- Best investment place to hold a good capital
- Cash will be converted into digital money
- Banks will allow bitcoin as a payment method
- Government will start investing in bitcoin
- Government jobs will start paying people in bitcoins
What are these? Your imagination?
We're discussing bitcoin futures, not bitcoin in the future, LoL
Cash will be converted into digital currency and vice versa
Banks will not allow bitcoin as a payment method, it's not banks decision, but the government.
Government will not pay people on bitcoin, not even in 50 years later, the government have to support fiat currency at any cost.
I think this is a great opportunity for big investors, the reason is that today the spreading and bitcoin volume is soaring high that bitcoin prices get to the moon.
I'm starting to think the futures market won't be a success. The traders there aren't looking for extreme volatility and that's what you get with Bitcoin. All the other things they trade are priced in a historic range. Bitcoin has no history and swings $10K in a week! Also, those traders already have their "lambos" so they don't need to take on huge risk.
I posted an article about it in the news section

Bitcoin future, as a realist there is a place for bitcoin in the future as it is growing everyday though despite the volatility it's still maintaining its stand. A great opportunity stands for bitcoin investors in the future.
not only for the future but also in the present that bitcoin will be a great help at all time especially for those who really want change in their life. But for future bitcoin will continue to become the number one cryptocurrency and no one can replace it.
I see this is a great opportunity for investors, and in south korea today many investors are ready to take advantage of bitcoin. and that will make the bitcoin price go up.

Future . It is possible that bitcoin will be replaced by another coin and will have a bitcoin value to be reached. Maybe $ 50,000 I still hope that it will happen
Bitcoin Futures can make the market move both ways. So I would be prepared on 10th of December 
bitcoin futures drive bitcoin to great heights it is future approval makes difference in bitcoin for wealthy asset class
