Greg, I agree with your evaluation of Bitcoin. The fanatics need to realize that anytime you have a futures market trading along side a commodity such as Bitcoin, the real money is not make in the commodity but the futures contract. Also consider how easy it is to open, close and settle a position in a futures contract as opposed to Bitcoin. For me, Steemit is the better play on a buy and hold and from time to time take a long or short position in Bitcoin futures and always be FLAT at the end of the day.

As far as the Bitcoin fanatics are concerned, just remember "you are talking to the hand".
