Coinbase preparing for monster increase in trading

[gentlemand]

They claimed that they listed Bcash because the community wanted them to. lol

It was free money. Coinbase would be the easiest way to get rid of it. Why not? On top of that Coinbase were in charge of a huge amount of it that their customers couldn't otherwise access.

However there was something deeply off about the entire launch process. I don't know what their agenda was but whatever it was wound up making them look like creeps.

Really? But isn't that how every crypto exchanges behave? Creepily do shit from behind and fuck up people's life by saying nothing about anything. I found something that may relate to what you're talking about : https://techcrunch.com/2017/12/20/coinbase-bch-bitcoin-cash-api-reddit/

Places like Bitstamp gave people plenty of notice and got rolling exactly when they said they would. It's not hard and it's a courtesy customers deserve. But yes there's a long history of nefariousness when it comes to coin launches and delistings too.

I'd expect it from somewhere like Yobit, not Coinbase which is dripping with NYSE and other VC money. Can you imagine the public outrage if a conventional stock exchange had handled a launch like that? They'd be fucking crucified and probably have broken multiple laws too.

Coinbase showed themselves up big time and it shouldn't be forgotten especially since they're gunning to be the supreme crypto presence.

There were constant rumors and "guarantees" about coinbase crediting their customers BCH by January 2018,way back in August 2017 itself. And they credited the users in December 2017(?).

I don't think a lot of people even cared/know about the creepy behaviour by coinbase. They have already put too much trust in them,I am just waiting for it to blow up on their faces.

Conventional stock exchanges are way more shady than the crypto exchanges. Their tie-ups and all that crap is way too creepy,they are one of the main reasons for corruption,black market, manipulation that has caused all of us to be in a shit place and with recession all across. I would believe in poloniex more than the fucking stock exchanges.

Yeah. A lot of people were waiting for Coinbase to add XPR, and some people spreading rumors, people started to buy and speculate on the XPR price after Coinbase adds it. As a result, instead, they got the big NO from the company.
However, for money, I am sure they will be ready to start to think about adding it. At the same time, an exchange without Ripple is 

There are rumors that coinbase would even list ZRX. lol. But for XRP,people are spreading more than just rumors. But then again,it is just normal crypto things.

However I'm sure all of that flies out the window if there's some money in it for them. Their Bcash launch was very underhand and mysteriously eager too.

Yep, it was more than rumors but it was funny. For example, on Twitter, all the XRP influencers swearing Coinbase will add it, and reply to you with arrogance if you said to them "no way"

I find the crypto world funny, it's like a soap opera, there is always a problem, a rumor or a drama to read about and it never ends

héhé, I rarely post on this section but this is one of my favorites in this forum. I like to read "Abuse of power by ..." or "<username> is a witch"
I usually wait to see a lot of posts in a thread I bookmark it, then after 1 or 2 days I just sit down with a coffee and start to read the whole thread

All life is a soap opera, but yes, crypto world is so unstable and not regulated yet, so every new change awake a lot of drama and attention. I am wander is it always going to be like that or the society will get calm about all this?

You should be happy that it is not regulated. Although exchanges and all the crypto offering services have updated their privacy policy and have started with regulation. Sometimes people overdo a lot of things in the name of regulation.

You're seriously expecting people to be smart? People expected flying cars to rule across the world by 2018 and people here can't even open a door because they pull when it is written push.
