Peterffy (IB) takes out ad in WSJ to warn against BTC futures

[MoreLeverage]

IB slapped a 500% short requirement on DRYS, a highly volatile shipping stock, in the wake of their 20x runup a year ago. BTC looks at least, if not more volatile, to me so it wouldn't surprise me given Peterffy's anti-BTC stance that they could have some really high short requirement on anything BTC related.

No need to get sensitive Mr gambler , it was a metaphor , sure technically they are just an exchange not a casino , same goes for Wall street , it isnt technically a casino , but you can call either a casino .

Sure thing tough guy.
