What if institutional investors really buy into futures and drive BTC really high, as opposed to short selling them! Anyone have FOMO?

The futures are cash settled, they don't impact actual BTC supply and demand other than via some sentiment cross pollination

A1, are you the art and history major from a couple of days ago who knows zero about how derivative markets work.

Sentiment matters a lot in this market I suppose! Keen to know which side the majority of the futures market is likely to take!

Help me understand something fundamental about altcoins. For those coins that serve as defi projects with real-world use cases, why do they need to be tradable, and why do they have a fluctuating market value? In other words, why is each particular application or idea based on blockchain also something that can be bought and sold by people who are not involved in the project?

Factor is literally the only coin I’ve found that is actually generating revenue. Just sayin

Think this consolidation period is going to end in the near term, primarily driven by:

1. Microstrategy “open sourcing” their playbook for purchasing BTC as public company

2. Coinbase to offer staking for ETH in Q1 ‘21 - think how much will get locked up.

3. GME / stonks fallout - retail may moreso see the benefits of decentralization and crypto. Yes Coinbase is CEX to get you onboard, but DEX can’t be turned off.
