Could you please elaborate on what exactly are Bitcoin futures contracts and how do they operate in the cryptocurrency market? Are they similar to traditional futures contracts in the financial world, or do they have some unique characteristics specific to the digital currency realm? I'm interested in understanding the mechanics behind these contracts and how they can potentially impact the price and stability of bitcoin.
