Hi @juanmolina
Thank you for kind words, my friend.
A futures product usually expires on the last Friday of each month. So the April 2019 futures will expire on the 26th of this month. If you know BitMex, that is a perpetual contract, meaning it never expires. When you take futures, there are several added pricing factors due to the expiry. There is something called "time decay" which gets factored in but it's detailed so I won't get into that.
My opinion is that the futures have helped with price discovery but also have helped manipulate price. I have no firm opinion yet as I need some more data to form my opinion.
