Five reasons 2018 could be the best year yet for cryptocurrencies

Germany’s major exchange Deutsche Boerse says it is still “considering” bitcoin futures but is unable to say when they might launch.

Europe’s Cautionary Stance

In comments to local industry magazine WirtschaftsWoche Wednesday, a spokeswoman from the marketplace organizer said that bitcoin’s “significant exchange rate fluctuations” were among the factors needing a solution prior to a potential release.

“We’re considering bitcoin futures which investors and institutional investors can use to hedge against bitcoin or set against falling prices in the virtual currency,” the publication quotes her as saying.

The topic of debate for many of the world’s jurisdictions this month, bitcoin futures have been a major factor in pushing up prices over $17,000 after US lawmakers gave the green light to three such products earlier this month.

CBOE will be joined by CME Group December 18 in opening up regulated bitcoin exposure to Wall Street and other major insitutional investors.

Reactions from authorities in other countries have varied meanwhile, with Japan’s “as soon as possible” launch agenda contrasting strongly with that of South Korea, which instigated a full ban on the activity.

Within the global context, the European Union appears for now to be adopting a cautionary approach.

Buoyant CBOE Forecasts ETFs, ETNs

As WirtschaftsWoche reports, earlier indications of ratification of futures on Deutsche Boerse within “two to three months” now seem premature.

“According to Deutsche Boerse, deliberations are not yet far enough along to allow naming a timeframe,” it continues.

A major concern is price volatility, with officials keen to avoid manipulation resulting from periods of unstable rates.

Discussing what could lie in store for ‘traditional money’ participation and bitcoin following CBOE’s futures launch meanwhile, CEO Edward Tilly said ETFs could present the next stage.

“I think you’ll see some buzz around the potential for security ETFs and ETNs as a result; I think it’ll take some time, but I think you’ll see that as the next frontier,” he told Bloomberg Wednesday.

In the run-up to its own futures debut, CMEGroup has altered its initial margin requirement from 35% to up to 47%, the publication added.

Re: 宋丹丹：很多青年演员一夜成名 缺乏老师引导如何做人 全国政协委员宋丹丹。 新京报快讯(记者张维)3月6日上午，在文艺界别小组讨论上，宋丹丹发言称：“目前很多青年演员一夜成名，缺乏老师引导如何做人。” 宋丹丹说，现在很多青年演员一夜成名，要不因为长得帅，要不会演一点戏，但也不成熟。一下子就几千万粉丝，挣很多钱。 宋丹丹列举了拍戏时碰到的两种现象。例如，“小鲜肉”攀比化妆师和助理人数。还有一种是两个“小鲜肉”一起拍戏，早到的在停车场等着，非要别人先进去。“好像后进去的人显得腕比较大。”宋丹丹说，“没有人告诉他们什么是露怯的。” 宋丹丹回忆，她20岁考入北京人艺，有老师手把手教“老老实实做人，认认真真演戏”。老师苏民曾送给她一把扇子，上面写着：“反操千曲而后晓声，观千剑而后识器。”她说，当时她不太明白是什么意思，现在越来越明白。她希望，能有老师对青年演员进行引导，帮助他们树立正确价值观和人生观。 (Why?)
