A deleted tweet from last month which could explain the current pump?

If it is true, we could see a very powerful pump some time later. ETC is heavily undervalued now. HardFork+CLO Airdrop are coming soon...

this bear market doesn't really help but we had a breakout, let's see how it plays.

The pump we are seeing right now is probably mainly due to the callisto airdrop what will happen 5 march. What is happening, is the same as  we saw when their was a bitcoin fork coming up. Weeks/days before the fork the prices keep going up until the forks happen.

I think it could happen, they listed bitcoin cash so why not listing ethereum classic that is a relaiable coin with still a low value

There are many rumors in the market but i think that these are all based on manipulation and speculation, i do hope ETC will grow in value but it should be done on solid basis.

Dont be greedy because of airdrop. Airdrop can make the price but it will go down rapidly after the airdrop.
The price will not be consistent because the rise of the price is just temporary.

There is no valid reason Coinbase to add ETC. There were the same speculations for Ripple and few more in past months.
On 5th Marc there will be airdrop/fork of ETC called Callisto. This is the reason for recent peak.

not gonna happen ever, sorry

I think the price action is because of the upcoming airdrop and nothing else, this is a common phenomenon, Ardor and Ignis airdrops are two recent examples, people just need to be very careful of these price manipulations because most people will be trapped in FOMO and most of the time the price is likely going to deep significantly after the airdrop

I think Ethereum classic is the next candidate to be listed in coinbase, because when looking at coins coinbase listed, you can easily understand etc can be listed there also.

I think The current rise in ethereum classic is not related to coinbase listing rumours or tweet. ETC has a list of updates coming in future one of them is the hard fork (Callisto). so many will buy into it now to get the benefit of the fork. which is leading to the price rise of ETC.

That Tweet of Brian Armstrong was on 2 Jan 2017, so quite some time ago. A year in crypto is a lot.
Imo this current surge has nothing to do with a potential Coinbase listing or with ETC's quality but only with the fact of the upcoming airdrop imo.
They only way I see Coinbase listing ETC is if it can keep up this volume it has at the moment. If not I assume they would prefer Ripple or something because it's just more profitable.

I highly doubt it will be on Coinbase for 2 main reasons:

1.  Coinbase supported the ETC fork and had a wallet created for it so people could receive and withdraw their ETC but chose not to support it for the exchange.  So they’ve had the capability all along and chose not to.

2. Coinbase said publicly that they want their listed coins to be unique to each other and obviously they already have ETH. 

At present, the price of ETC is still very low. ETC is a potential coin. Very developed in the coming time. I bought the ETC at $ 22 and now it's going up. I will wait for the pump to continue to run for $ 100 this year

is this callisto AIRDROP really happen? which exchange support this airdrop? can you give me link of this news?

Wow! probably that could be the reason why ETC are pumping right now. But there are a lot of news upcoming like the Callisto Airdrop on March many people will participate on this one so ETC price will reach around $100 and more.

Lot's of sh*t replies in the thread...  C'mon guys, you already know there's a blockchain snapshot that's going on for the new Callisto project.

That's the real reason. 

/Thread.

ETC is a good coin , but coinbase listed only selected coins .
even ripple is not listed there , so i don't think coinbase will list it in near future .

I think ETC price will see much better prices in 1 month. This is my vision. It is not an investment recommendation. If bitcoin does not prevent it, it will go out quite a bit.

From the news and different articles that I read, it appears that the current pump that we are seeing right now is due to the airdrop that has been scheduled to be given to those who hold ETC in their wallets. We already experienced this kind of pump with this same coin when it facilitated its first airdrop few months back. Take note that after the airdrop, the price of it crashed hard as people sold their ETC after receiving the free token. So expect the same thing will happen again.

To comment on the screenshot that you provided, I think it is impossible right now. Coinbase didn't support the ETC chain last year and I think they will not change their mind now. Don't make something big out of that tweet. Well, if it is indeed true, then ETC will soar even higher in the coming days.  ::)

I don't really understand why coinbase would support Ethereum classic, except maybe because its easy since they already support ethereum...

It even sounds like from the tweet people will need to increase their interest in ETC a lot before they would add it. Decred isn't even on Coinbase and it has tons more users.

Ethereum classic has been growing good and recently it has crossed $40. Getting listed to more exchanges will surely contribute to the growth of the same. The upcoming hardfork with airdrops scheduled for March 5 will surely add more value to ethereum classic.

ETC actually has a good potiental on payment and it's being accepted in many website . the nearest is paybear . With a growing in amount of transaction.
So that's why Coinbase made a unofficial decision to add ETC in to the system not other coins.
BTW this adjustment is a good news for people who does own ETC.

No its not about coinbase will list it but it is getting pumped hard because of the hard fork and as usual people fomo buying to get free new coin. And that new coin can be staked. If we saw to coinmarketcap coin which using staking system getting popular nowadays it is not takes very much resources. And also ethereum classic have strong support by its community.

Not only hard fork and Airdrop, right there is the lot of hype creating in the ETC blockchain because very soon ETH blockchain in converting to POS. So miners will start mining ETC, many people will shift from ETH to ETC.

Not really about coinbase addition but the upcoming fork is the most likely reason for the current rise
that should continue into the fork date.

I don't see a reason for such growth and demand for ETC other than the upcoming fork in March. They all want to earn, this is normal.

Not before XRP I'm telling you.

wow that would make the price to skyrocket! time to buy some etc? I guess so. Did anyone try to double check if that is truly genuine deleted tweet or only some fake pump attempt?

Yes and it's starting now because mining ETC has zero fees that's why ETC was start to pump but it's only the start wait until March or April because ETC will reach it's new ATH. Great team behind of it and they are really working fine now and I hope they will accomplish their goal because I'm all in for ETC.

I find it unlikely. Not even Ripple made it into coinbase, why would ETC be the one? I cant really see the reason, ETC does not have that great of a volume which might be interesting for Coinbase.
So I'd say false. Not gonna happen soon.

Well if this one have been official announcement by Coinbase possible ETC will hit $1k this year so easily and that's very good for all ETC holders including me. May the luck be with us. ETC to the moon.

first we heard info about fork in march which will give some free callisto coin ,
since then people are shilling each n every news about etc and price got pumped and still will pump more .
but there is no solid reason why coinbase should list it .

CoinBase created lot of FOMO news and they are wanted to pump the coins to peak but technically speaking ETC have lot of potentials because of hard fork and new updates and new upgrades

Etc is one of the oldest projects of this market. It's a really solid project. The very good development of Ethereum leaves the ETC a little shady. Maybe the ETC can change this situation this year.

ETC is in the air with fork news. The price started to move upward. The price will increase significantly with different stock market entry. I have to decide very well the time to live.

Sooner or later Etc will be listed in Coinbase . Coin base is looking for right time better price to introduce ETC they are looking all events happening in and around etc development team expected positive move in coming days

Any chance that coinbase lists ETC?

If they don't add ripple, ETC would be the most appropriate for the next lsiting, IMO.

I heard it's Tron that's pushing hard to get listed on Coinbase.  But you can't really rely on the TRX community tho.  They took hyping on a whole new level.  Lololol.  Even Justin Sun's announcement that he would make an announcement' would pump TRX.  :D
