Could you elaborate on what a Bitcoin futures investment entails? Specifically, I'm interested in understanding how it differs from a traditional bitcoin investment. Does it involve purchasing contracts that allow for the purchase or sale of bitcoin at a predetermined price and date in the future? What are the potential risks and rewards associated with such an investment? How does it function within the broader cryptocurrency and financial markets? And finally, what are the key factors investors should consider before embarking on a bitcoin futures investment strategy?

The objective is to achieve amplified gains, or losses, based on the movement of the underlying index. This approach seeks to provide investors with the potential for higher returns, but also involves a corresponding increase in risk.

The index utilizes a methodology that involves rolling over positions in the futures contracts to maintain a continuous exposure to Bitcoin's price movements. This rolling process helps to mitigate the effects of contango or backwardation in the futures market.

By targeting a multiple of two times the daily performance of the index, the investment strategy aims to provide investors with exposure to Bitcoin's price movements, while also amplifying the potential gains or losses.
