. >> i consider myself a neophyte compared to you and brian kelly here on the desk and so many others out there but what caught me off guard, the polarized community when it comes to bitcoin cash and bitcoin. is there not a world, roger, where both can exist >> there should be but it's really, really, really dangerous for bitcoin core holders because of the way the mining difficulty algorithm adjusts for bitcoin core if bitcoin cash becomes popular enough and siphons away enough from bitcoin core in a short enough period of time, bitcoin core is really in danger of coming to a screeching halt altogether i've been telling people to hold your bitcoins and cryptocurrency on your own device where you're in control right now may be the only time that's bad advice. you may want to consider holding your bitcoin on an exchange so if there's this mad exodus of people rushing to the door, your money will already be on the exchange, you'll still be able to get something for them where is if they're stuck on your own phone or computer and everybody is running for the door because the rate is disa

peterffy, this is brian kelly.sounds to me like the issue here, and i can't disagree, is the limits, when it stops trading. if they were to change the contract and said, this is going to be trade, there is not going to be a lock limit up or down, would that change your mind, would you think then it's not going to be a systemic risk? >> i don't know. it's certainly going to be easier but still, who are the natural sellers of this product? only the people who have bitcoin. there aren't so many -- there is not so much bitcoin around so if people come in en masse, all buying, there won't be enough sellers there >> so why not allow short selling then >> this price could go anywhere in the short term. in the long run, i'm sure it will be zero >> so thomas, come sunday night, monday morning, what's your expectations in terms of volume and how orderly this trade will be >> well, i do not know how many brokers there will be who are ready to offer this. if there are lots of brokers, and there are brokers who are buying short

we don't know that yet >> i talked to brian kelly about it, nobody knows better than he would, and he says it will be a nothing hamburger. >> meaning much ado about nothing? >> a what burger they just said it in my ear. we talked about it last night, interactive brokers going from 45 to 60 >> bitcoin stock or not. >> i said it absolutely is, despite what mr. peterffy said they better trade a gazillion bitcoin contracts, otherwise they'll be in trouble. >> i'm sitting at home wanting to trade bitcoin futures what are some of the caveats >> i think the american public sitting at home trading futures in general, the risks involved in that are so much greater than people understand. i think the general investors really don't understand. brian is right when he says a nothing burger people won't step into this risk trade as people -- >> professionals >> professionals, absolutely >> we talked about that, that most funds say they want to stay clear of it and now trading in the futures market on bona fide exchanges, they might feel a sense of security. you might get an incremental buyer or pla

and also for brian kelly, civilian staff member on the team who stayed with me throughout the gunfire as we tried to lend aid to matt who was laying next to the capitol police s.u.v. throughout the entire incident. and finally, as my thanks goes out to special agent david bailey who i personally watched on numerous occasions put his own life in danger as he would move out into the line of fire to draw fire away from myself and brian kelly because he saw whenever the shooter was not shooting at the capitol police he was shooting at us and he would purposefully move himself in the line of fire and mir ackley protect -- miraculously protected. and so the alexandria police department who came to our aid and eventually took down the shooter. you know, moments like this are surreal to me and to others and they are important that we go back and we reflect and we remember these moments because the only way that we can correct mistakes from our past is if we go back and we relive them and we look at what caused this. and as we stand here today, one of the things that i see that we need in amer

brian kelly, cnbc "fast money" contributor. >> my pleasure. >>> power has been restored at the world'siest airport after a massive outage caused a travel nightmare yesterday contessa brewer joins us with the latest what is going on in atlanta? >> that's a big question nearly everything came to a stand still for more than eight hours yesterday. power restored just before midnight some passengers had to deplane using emergency slides and use flashlights. the control tower was operational but a loss of power in the terminals meant essential equipment was out of service flight aware shows 1200 flights in atlanta canceled. 2600 planes take off or land there every day. georgia power says a fire underground caused extensive damage to an electrical facility and the substation serving the airport. o southwest airlines plans to operate a regular shelter and delta warns there still could be delays atlanta, of course, is a key hub for some of the domestic and international flights. it's been the world's busiest passenger airport since 1959 with 104 million people passing through last year. clearly

joining us is brian kelly, a fast money contributor great to have you with us on "worldwide exchange. you're positive on bitcoin. what's the main reason for that? >> listen, to me, this is an entirely new asset class i don't know if bitcoin is going to be the global digital currency or something else will be there, but we're going to have a global digital currency i know that at the market cap today, that's not right price. the market cap should be in the trillions, not the billions. >> do we talk about a market cap for a currency >> yeah. it's a great point because it's a little misleading when we talk about market cap, we think of stocks currencies can grow to whatever size they need to grow to to support the underlying gdp when i say, you know, bitcoin currently, if you take the price, times the amount of outstanding coins, you get a market cap above 200 billion, approaching 300 billion. but if it's going to be a global currency, i say it's going to take some percent of global m1, global m1 is 1$100 trillion market that's why i'm saying, the upside here is a multiple of where it sh

eastern here on cnbc, and of course, brian kelly of the "fast money" team is one of the earlier adopters bitcoin. and so, their analysis will be key to focus on. >> he wrote the book, literally. >> he wrote the book, exactly, and he's had a great chat on "worldwide exchange" about it last week, and good for him, one of the people standing proud from the gates. >>> we're following a developing story out of southern california new evacuations have been ordered as a string of massive wildfires continue to grow the thomas fire, the biggest in the area, is still on the move officials say the blaze is just 10% contained. it has already burned more than 230,000 acres of land. we'll continue to follow the developing story and bring you any updates and live pictures as we get them. >>> turning now to some stocks to watch ggp has reportedly rejected a $14.8 billion buyout offer from its biggest shareholder, brookfield property partners they made a $33-per-share offer for the 66% of ggp it doesn't already own. brookfield is said to be considering a new offer for the massive mall operator, ggp share

on it we are looking to implement it but cannot commit to a specific time frame >> hi, sir, it's brian kelly curious on the framework that you have for these currencies, could we look at the ones that you've listed already and would it be safe to assume that anything that kind of looks like that, and what i'm getting at is bitcoin cash, would be ready to be listed on your platform because bitcoin cash is effectively bitcoin. i mean, that in a development way, people in the world will get mad at me if i call it the same thing >> no, i understand. i think at 100,000 feet, that's probably directionally accurate. >> at 100,000 feet it's directionally accurate okay >> yes so the -- i'm sorry. i wasn't trying to be vague. we have listed a series of assets we have an asset framework if you look at the assets listed and you look at the framework, people can for themselves decide which assets are more likely than not to be listed. >> asiff, obviously the bitcoin futures launch last week was pretty successful. do you guys expect to trade futures, do you expect options when they're listed as cryptocurr

. >> yes >>> joining us is brian kelly, founder of brian kelly capital and a "fast money" contributore author of "the bitcoin bang" and specializes in additional currencies and crypto currencies what do you think? >> as much of a fan of bitcoin as i am, this is a speculative frenzy you mentioned that some of these exchanges are trading above $15,000. so look at coin base in particular and that's the retail onramp raiding at 5% to bit stamp which tend to be the more institutional ones it tells me you're seeing a speculative retail frenzy. >> is there liquidity in the market if i buy and want to get out, can i 134? >> sure, no problem. bitcoin traded more than apple on a daily basis it trades as much as the gld etf. there's plenty of liquidity. >> does this go up >> bitcoin itself is about a $250 billion market cap. if it takes 5% of the market cap in gold you're looking at a $25,000 price target i don't need to make a massive assumption to get there. >> do you know for sure whether five years from now we're going to look back, are we going to say well, that was the early days of this u

. >>> joining us on the cnbc newsline "fast money" contributor brian kelly. great to speak with you. you sent out earlier today an e-mail which basically sort of recapped what we were seeing in terms of the bitcoin that we've seen in the past bitcoin has seen many, many double digit declines in the past only to be followed by triple percent gains in the six months or so afterwards. why wouldn't this time be different because it feels like there's more retail investors and those guys aren't used to seeing declines like this. that's the incremental buyer here that brought us to the most recent record high >> well, yeah. i mean, the retail has been the entire buyer, not just the incremental buyers no institutions in this space. could this spook out some of the weak, absolutely the same buyer you had for a long time. i think what people need to know you get all excited when you double your money in a couple weeks. you have to understand that you can lose 50% of it at any time this is normal volatility for this market. >> normal volatility some people might accept
