Bitcoin – “Millennials Fake Gold”

Bitcoin – The  Digital Generation’s Gold Surrogate

By Vitaliy Katsenelson CFA

I’ve been asked about Bitcoin a lot lately. I’ haven’t written anything about it because I find myself in an uncomfortable place in agreeing with the mainstream media: It’s a bubble.

Bitcoin started out as what I’d call “millennial gold” – the young (digital) generation looked at it as their gold substitute.

  1. Bitcoin futures

    Bitcoin futures started trading todayy on the Chicago Board Options Exchange, letting investors bet on the currency’s future value. The move is seen by many as a step towards the mainstream.

    There’s clear support: Bloomberg notes futures expiring January rose from $15,000 to over $17,540 during trading, and demand saw transactions halted at times. But the Financial Times ($) says some big banks don’t support the futures yet, suggesting Bitcoin’s quest for legitimacy continues.

  3. Regulation

    Dr. Marcinko – Bitcoin futures are regulated. This is being promoted as a virtue of the bitcoin futures. However, the underlying bitcoin itself is not regulated. Can the regulation of a derivative be successful when the underlying main contract has no regulation especially at times of stress?
