Big milestone for BTC. Futures trading has started on CBOE.

We are about 90 minutes into the initial XBTC session, which opened for trading at 5 pm Eastern.

Did the predicted BTC crash happen? Did all the BTC shorts show up and take the price back below $10,000?

NOPE!!

Future trading slightly higher than the open. The big price crash due to BTC shorts that many in main stream media have been forecasting hasn't materialized. Yet.

Perhaps financial issues like BTC Futures is just one more area in which the MSM has no idea what they are talking about? But that doesn't stop them from moving their lips.

Interesting that the price for Jan 17, 2018 is trading at $15,900 early into the initial session.

That price increase would represent a very small 2% or 3% gain in the next 40 days for BTC.

If that trend holds, it would represent a serious slow down in the rate at which BTC price has been spiking over the last week or so.
