There is no "right" answer about Bitcoin vs Futures... Nothing like Bitcoin ever existed before; therefore we'll never know until it happens. I do, however, think more money should be placed into Bitcoin in order for them to even start the "shorting" process. I don't see much being gained by going from $15,000 to $8,000. We almost hit the ceiling of $20,000 which would be the ideal time to cash out and "short." That's just my opinion... Should be interesting to see what happens this week!
