group said it would start offering bitcoin futures in the fourth quarter but some financial experts have been less bullish on the currency with many warning about the wrists earlier we asked analyst robert hover of bought a bag while vestas are interested on such a large scale right now. just as people are pouring into big currency because the idea of crypto currencies is fascinating it's a new object of speculation which has taken off dramatically since twenty six thousand nine hundred percent and that is drawing the attention of the financial sector they are trying to enter this market by introducing new financial instruments right now you only have limited options to invest money interest rates are at the bottom end for many stocks have risen too sharply already that's why many tend to invest in the new crypto currencies. so what's behind the big con bonanza let's bring in our business reporter steve betsy who's had

a closer look at the phenomenon stephen we just heard why investors are attracted to becomes low interest rates but who are these investors i think to now most of these investors have been individuals who've been working off of single coin exchanges we're seeing more hedge funds come in for example and now as was mentioned before it's these derivatives exchanges such as c. in the chicago mercantile exchange they're coming more online and that's driving a lot more interest and probably driving up a lot of the value of the coin recently it adds a bit of legitimacy that the coin hasn't really had this point because once you start trading futures it looks like perhaps oil or gold something that is more of an asset than a currency so it lends credibility exactly ok these mainstream investors as big big investment banks they've been on more of the fence seven day that's right i think mostly. clean most famous was jamie dimon with j.p. morgan chase he called it a fraud months ago and he hasn't wavered from that he says that it's a dumb investment and we've seen other large investment banks follow suit they've

said that it's dangerous that it's risky and that there's too much volatility there most recently sold or japan for example chief strategist there so there was much too risky for every day investors but we are also starting to see some of that change i think goldman sachs for example they're the ones who have created a cryptocurrency desk for example because they're getting a lot of pressure from larger investment groups institutional investors such as pension boards they want somewhere to put their money they see that this is the thing that's happening right now it's expanding expanding and they want to get in as soon as something goes off like this talk of a bubble is never far away other risk of a bubble but if you can i think so i think that's what everyone's looking at i think that's exactly what the investment banks are saying with the jamie dimon of the world are saying is there's so much volatility there that all it takes a small hiccup in the market and suddenly a lot of wealth is wiped out. and that's the big risk that's why you can't have institutional investors you can't have people's pension money tied up there for

12:22 pm
for just one hundred eighty dollars sixty five inch for seven hundred fifty dollars for some shoppers that's a deal that doesn't need a reason when you get to t.v. from my pants room and i waited for what it's like in. this business and paris is offering twenty percent off all items yet there's no long line before the door and only a few full bags instead there's skepticism over an american shopping spectacle. i think it's an anglo-saxon thing it's not typically french but apparently it's working pretty well there are more people on the streets than i expected the reason i heard about it and i saw a lot of signs i received emails and coupons but it doesn't push me to buy more today. as well so there's no use in germany one resourceful businessman even license the name black friday to get around paying fees other businesses have thought of clever replacements. and in china black friday is just one of several

fourteen hundred underground garbage containers in the hague around five hundred tons of household waste are thrown away in the city every day but only some containers get so full that they need to be emptied it took him some getting used to but he understands the advantages. of the it's better because you only empty that bends that are actually full so it saves a lot of time you can do more and only do what's necessary. two years ago the waste disposal service haganah your services introduced the sensor system made by the finnish startup and yvo they won't say how much it cost the sensors transmit data four times a day which the staff can use to predict when the containers will be full for the company it's about saving money long term and being able to make more accurate assessments but there are other reasons. if the bins are not full ten twenty
