Sorry but you can't have futures on bitcoins that are settled in bitcoins.

Why not? CME has futures that are settled with physical delivery.

It definitely makes it a pain for post-settlement management, and would likely prevent a lot of people from trading those futures, but why exactly is it not possible?
