You could just sell the BTC, yes, but a futures contact might be faster, easier, and cheaper, though I don't trade BTC so I don't know, and we don't yet know if

You could just sell the BTC, yes, but a futures contact might be faster, easier, and cheaper, though I don't trade BTC so I don't know, and we don't yet know if these contracts will be liquid. Many futures contracts never take off, so we'll see.
- kgwgk 9y agoIf you sell the 5BTC you’re done. If you short one contract and BTC doubles next week you will be $40k down on that position. It looks a bit risky... Of course your BTC will now be worth $80k instead of $40k so the math works out. But you will have to come with collateral to keep the position open (or get it closed and take the loss).
