Customers using credit cards on Coinbase: the following card issuers are now blocking purchases of digital currency with credit cards.
Chase Bank of America Citi Capital One
We're encouraging affected customers to switch to debit card or bank account payment methods.
Some see this as bad news but on the contrary it's good you shouldn't be using credit cards to buy crypto if you do not have the money then you shouldn't be taking the risks I'd leave the decision what to do with funds on credit cards to their owners. Otherwise we can end up with banks deciding what we're allowed to buy with CCs as a first step, and then they will likely go further. Hey wait, it's actually happening now ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) You may have possession of a credit card but all funds are strictly in ownership of the banks borrowing money on a credit card is no different that taking out a loan What about some poor fool that got a CC with a nice 10k credit limit and bought a few BCH at $3K expecting it to double quickly only for it to now be worth $2500 and unable to afford the repayments They are not saying you cannot use a Debit Card where you own the funds in your account just Credit Cards where the bank is loaning you their money big difference Well, I'd expect a restriction on CC terms specifting explicitly what is not allowed to buy with your CC. If there's none, then the bank just gives you high rate loan without asking what you're going to do with the money. They determine upfront if you're able to repay the debt, and that's it. Applying a restriction looks like a change in the terms of your CC agreement.

Gentlemen - enough about PRICE, let's look at FUNDAMENTALS:
BTC doesn't work and LN can't work with a broken layer underneath it. BTC development is a dead meme, BTC is the target of Wall St. speculators, and has now lost its Tether price pump mechanism. BTC has only first adopter momentum, which it loses more of each day (anyone look at the mempool or the market dominance chart lately?)
BCH works and adoption is growing more each day. BCH development is steaming ahead. BCH has 24x the capacity of dead BTC. New investment will almost certainly go to the alt market looking for growth.
Watch the US Congress hearings today. Surely they will move the markets.
Good news from the US Congress.

No one can tell me that less payment options is in anyway a good thing. So less options and access are good?

The banks can't restrict what you're allowed to buy with your money (be it credit card, debit card, your own deposit(s), or any funds at your disposal). They CAN sell dedicated products like mortgages, but it's explicitly defined and the clients know the purpose of the loan. I've just checked the terms for CC in my local bank, and there's nothing about what product(s) and/or service(s) that can be purchased. It defines general operations that can be peerformed with the card: ATM withdrawal, POS payment, transfer from CC account.

This all disaster in crypto world is due to US Goverment, let's hope we'll survive this 'regulation' as they name it! found this text snippet quoted below from this link here >>: https://www.creditcards.com/credit-card-news/when-can-credit-card-issuer-close-account-1267.php Notice how this is being done to all users but only at coinbase or for digital money?? yet this literature states that it is a case by case basis they do this... hmmm. Might need this: credit card act of 2009>> https://www.creditcards.com/glossary/term-credit-card-act-of-2009.php"Credit card issuers are watching your credit record, and if anything there makes them feel that their credit portfolios are less secure than they'd like, they may suddenly pull the plug[cancel the card]. Sonya O. Conway, vice president of public affairs and communications at American Express said in an email that the company monitors cardholder credit behavior on an ongoing basis. "We look at a variety of elements, including their spending and payment history with American Express, their debt/spending/payment history with other lenders, credit bureau scores and other credit report information," she wrote. If AmEx doesn't like what it sees, it may lower your spending limit or cancel your account. "Our intent is to strike the right balance between accommodating our card members' spending needs, while also prudently managing credit risk -- for us and for our card members," Conway wrote. Chase follows a similar policy. The company declined a requested interview for this story. But the Chase Freedom credit card agreement says one of the reasons your account may be considered in default is if the company believes you "may be unwilling or unable to pay your debts on time."

For more BCH adoption and to get ready to takeover top1 exchanges need to have BCH and other coins trading pair. Unfortunately such exchanges far less than Bitcoin Core.
