Title: Why it think Coinbase will fail Post by: wobber on May 08, 2013, 09:20:00 PM - Investing 5-f*** million dollars in a company dealing with bitcoin? Purely speculative? LOL. I wouldn't do that. Bitcoin's future is not entirely speculative. You'll see.
- 1% trading fee? I won't pay that. Actually, I'm so against exchanges right now, I will sell only on OTC. - 24 yrs old Goldman Sachs "trader"? I don't trust Goldman Sachs. And no offence, not trusting 24yrs old sausages also. - Trying to make money on the back of bitcoin posing a simple business as "revolutionary"? Bitcoin is revolutionary, same as 10,000 BTC pizza. The rest is just hard work.

We should all start threads by making assumptions about things we don't know about ::) Title: Re: Why it think Coinbase will fail Post by: wobber on May 08, 2013, 09:39:26 PM I have nor had any coins with Coinbase.

Title: Re: Why it think Coinbase will fail Post by: MAbtc on May 08, 2013, 09:39:50 PM $5 million is a drop in the bucket. If things go south, it's a very cheap exit, really. I haven't looked into it, but if there is a 1% trading fee, I won't be looking into it.

Best of luck to you and Coinbase both, we'll see who comes out ahead. ;) Title: Re: Why it think Coinbase will fail Post by: BTC Books on May 08, 2013, 10:13:56 PM $5 million is a drop in the bucket. If things go south, it's a very cheap exit, really. I haven't looked into it, but if there is a 1% trading fee, I won't be looking into it. Coinbase isn't an exchange, and the 1% isn't a trading fee. It's their BTC>USD ACH to your bank account fee. Title: Re: Why it think Coinbase will fail Post by: Herodes on May 09, 2013, 04:11:19 AM And now they're sued too:

Strange, I've heard about this "too high-risk" claim several times recently, it seems that they are a bucket shop that bet against customers I am not against bucket shops, I have several accounts at bucket shops, but even bucket shops have their business model, if a bucket shop constantly cancel the order, means they are just too illiquid to be fully operational Anyway, a bucket shop is not an exchange, but a casino. Investing 5 million in a bucket shop is not some thing worth mention |
