Bitcoin currency of the future?

JonesBones said:
Bitcoin.com CEO Roger Ver has defended US exchange Coinbase’s alleged insider trading, saying the practice is a “non-crime” and should not warrant increased regulation of crypto exchanges.

In an interview with CNBC on the topic of Bitcoin Cash, Ver said the ongoing investigation intostrange price behavior on Coinbase’s exchange GDAX is not illegal, even if dishonest activity by staff were to be found.

“I think insider trading is a non-crime,” he told viewers.

lol

and:

While the events unfolded, CNBC, which had controversially hosted major BCASH proponent and Bitcoin critic Roger Ver on its TV network, began broadcasting tweets of a highly suspicious nature compared to its usual tone.

Bitcoin is made up of foolish retail investors like Der Eisbar. The sharks are circling and about to eat people like him up. IT IS OVER.

The price dipped, but you cannot buy. NOPE. lol

Yeah I'm so foolish. My portfolio is up like 80% in the last month and I don't own any btc. Get rekt idiot
 
I'm not really liking coinbase's practices of freezing transactions.

They claim "high traffic" but it really looks like "shady shit". I literally can't do anything with what I have through them.

Yeah, verge is stable while everything was crashing. I preserved my gains through smart trading and you're talking like I'm a dumbshit. Seriously dude just stfu with your negativity and nonsense.

You're over here wrecklessly hyping and promoting the hell out of several of these cyptos and you have ZERO stake in any of them, you've never mentioned VERGE once.

And while you're claiming you're some crypto wiz that's wisely maneuvering through this volatile market... you have what? A couple hundred max here? If that?

If you really believed in anything here you wouldn't be trying to time a 24hr market you'd be accumulating whatever coins you actually believe in.

So you're either the greenest investor on this board (ie dumb as shit) or you're completely full of it and are being dishonest.

Before you get into conspiracies, I'd have to come up with valid reasons for why it would be beneficial for them to have freezes?

Coinbase gets a % of every transaction... they WANT volatility to they keep getting their piece of the pie (the best piece btw)

So really I just think it's poor planning, they haven't kept up with the demand and they are paying for it. It's hurting them more than any of you guys.

Your trolling and toxicity have grown tiring. Welcome to ignore cunt.
 
All i know is i sat on the sidelines for so long going up i should have got in sooner. I think once the panic settles down it'll head right back on up.

Yep well, it's my money and they're holding it hostage while it bleeds out and may need to be rushed to the hospital.

If they're going to offer a service they should be prepared to handle such a service, this sort of "practice" is only going to hurt this sort of thing.

lmao

Just don't take advice from this guy. He has no stake in any of these cryptos and will wrecklessly advise you that everything is a BUY opportunity.

Fuck no it isnt. They got everybody's money. They are the ones making out. They will fold soon but take people's money with them

Look at the sentiment of Coinbase users. I mean Canada for example. They will take Canadians money but won't let them sell. It is a fuckin con. 100%. They knew Canadians wouldn't be able to use the service but took their money anyway. And they are doing it to everyone else too.

https://www.reddit.com/r/CoinBase/


It is beneficial cuz it protects the price. It is artificial manipulation. Not letting people buy low or sell high. It is a fuckin con and I would be furious if I had an account with them. They probably have liquidity issues and don't actually have the money. They used it to buy btc for themselves. lol

Eh, I think you're being alarmist.

But we can just disagree on this.

https://www.reddit.com/r/CoinBase/

You know how much time fuckin matters in trading? with something this volatile? lol. a few seconds delay could cost you thousands and these fuckers have week delays. tons of potential profit lost BECAUSE OF COINBASE. It is totally on them.

Have you ever used Coinbase?

There's plenty to gripe about. And from what I'm reading there, that's all it is. It's back up and running, is anyone actually not able to pull their money out?

People are overreacting like crazy because they are a bunch of Der Eisbars that are freaking out over their $200 "investments"

Like some fool is going ape shit because Bitcoin Cash was momentarily "Zero'd out" and his balance showed zero... it's been restored.

Again, is any of this really acceptable for a trading platform? No. Is it criminal? Nah... Coinbase wants you to trade, they are getting 1.5% to 4% per transaction... and while that's not criminal, it really should be lol.

it goes down with all price swings.


It is criminal and people are taking action. Coinbase being a con isnt debatable. I am certain of it. Coinbase is a fraud. Bitcoin and other crypto could recover but Coinbase will not. My anger is directed at coinbase. There is no defending them.

It has been down again today. So convenient.

There are fuckin countless threads on there about them holding their money for christs sake. They are holding a guy in this thread's money. People everywhere from 5k to over 100k invested. screen shots and all.

Coinbase tweeted this yesterday:

Bitcoin Cash buys and sells have been enabled on Coinbase. Availability may fluctuate over the next few days based on the health of this new market.

Which is a shaky statement at best and then they down again soon after lol. profits being lost the whole time.

Isn't Coinbase a moot point if you've moved your Bitcoin to a hardware wallet such as Trezor or Nano?
 
I put another small amount in btc when it was 11,700 earlier. Maybe it goes up again
