Slok and Bitcoin
In short, Slok believes that there is not much to trust in bitcoins. On the other hand, the fact that in the 2017 the price of this cryptocurrency has surged upwards uncontrollably, leaves ample margins of uncertainty on the sustainability of the current capitalization of the most famous cryptocurrency in the world.

If in fact on one hand it is true that the entrance of the Bitcoin in the regulated world of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange it could take away some opacity and skepticism from the virtual currency, it is also true that the above could open the door to an excessive entry of institutional investors and speculators who could not only manipulate the value in a greater measure than is the case today, but also jeopardizing the traditional independence and autonomy characteristic of bitcoins, which has made the cryptocurrency so well known and so distinguishable from other assets.
