Coinbase just turned on BCH trading. Opened at 3100, then spiked up to 9500, now trading at 8500.
Looks like they only allowed trading for a few minutes. Last trade was 20:22 EST.
Bitcoin Cash killed it yesterday. The Bitcoin Core people had been looking forward to selling their “shitcoins.” Guess more people had different ideas. Things look bright.
Stories about insider trading at Coinbase before BCH was turned on. Seems some people in the know may have been dumping BTC for BCH knowing the change would spike value in BCH. One more shady quality for the folks at Coinbase.
So did they engineer their huge losses today too?
As someone on twitter put it, people who claim to be scientists and engineers turn into superstitious schoolgirls when things don’t go their way. Maybe they should be worried about not having made sufficient plans for their infinitely congesting mempool instead of deriding Bitcoin Cash and altcoins.
Since I posted that, saw Adam Back cracking wise about buying the dip (that he’s essentially helping cause.) Meanwhile, they have conspiracy theories to blame it on everyone else.

How 'bout that exchange rate now? Hope nobody got swindled too much by the BCash shills.
It’s about where it was when I flipped a little BTC into BCH. about 9% of a BTC.

“The [bitcoin cash] attack has been started; it will continue to run as we work to amplify it over the coming months,” the group stated. “We expect to have 5000 Bcash attack nodes in roughly 6 weeks and then we will multi-fork the chain. @rogerkver will now cry.”
Reading this news in 2019, can’t help but laugh.
