Okay…………this is getting a bit crazy! For anyone not living in the garage without Internet, most of you are familiar with the Crypto-Currency Bitcoin. In my last Bitcoin post on November 27, 2017, my mouth was agape when it broke $11,000. With a closing price of $18,052 on Friday, December 16, 2017 I might be ready to hang up my spurs as I’m not sure if there is a ceiling for this thing. Although if I was that sure of its continual rise I would buy some and let it ride. If you think its just a scam or one big bubble and want to bet on its collapse, now you can! The Chicago Board Options Exchange (CBOE) now allows clients to short Bitcoin futures although for those who are just amateurs and not financial solvent, you might be priced out of the game because of the high margin requirements. Either way, it will be exciting to see what happens with “currency” and to see how online casinos embrace this novelty trend.
