I thought I saw a tweet from GDAX saying they were having technical issues, but are now back up. I'll guess the issues may be related.

Hello, friends! Sorry I've been away, but I just flew in this morning after 2 glorious weeks at Hedonism II, in Negril, Jamaica. I'll be getting back on the horse w/ all things, including SBR, by tonight/tomorrow-ish.

I see BTC's rebounded to 6400 this morning. Good, sell to cash. I'm sure PapaG, Raiders, Opti, TTT, Bsims, PaperTrail and Jake and the rest of the extremely bright crypto minds here have explained why selling BTC's the only option after the entire BU wing of the bitcoin community got phucked over with the cancellation of B2X, but if you've missed those posts, then sell your BTC on this spike to cash and we'll talk about the cataclysmic shifts in the BTC landscape and community (heh, now two distinct communities) over the past week or so once I'm unpacked and settled back in.

Glad you're back. I'm looking forward to reading your take on the latest happenings.

up 10%... what a time to be alive

As long as it stays above 6k... and does a slow increase daily.... I'd be a happy man.

The top person makes a lot of BTC moves everyday. Probably the Cartel or some other huge illegal department in the world.

Any love for LITECOIN in here?

i never gave it any real attention but after some research it looks pretty promising, i dont see it exploding like BTC but it def has its uses, grabbin 10-20 litecoins doesnt seem that bad to diversify a crypto portfolio

[shocka1212]

Wouldn't be surprised if we saw a reverse effect from what we saw last btc fork.. everyone trying to get in on the fun, trend could go upward as much as it tanked last time

Dear Coinbase customer,
There have been a number of developments with Bitcoin Segwit2x since our last update. No action is required and all funds stored on Coinbase remain safe.
Last week, the Segwit2x development team announced they would no longer continue with the project. In addition, a significant portion of miners and other community leaders withdrew their support for the fork. However, despite these developments, a small number of miners may attempt to go forward with a fork.
We wanted to provide clarity about the potential outcomes of the fork and what Coinbase will do in each scenario.
To protect customer funds, Coinbase will disable Bitcoin sends and receives at 2 am Pacific Time on November 17th, and disable buys and sells an hour before the fork, which is currently predicted to occur between 6am to 8am Pacific Time on November 17th. All functionality will be re-enabled shortly afterwards.
Scenario 1: Network is unusable
If support for the fork remains at current levels or decreases, the Bitcoin2x network will be unusable. Coinbase will not support withdrawals or trading as it will not be possible to move these assets. Currently we believe this is the most likely scenario.
If the network gains support at a later date, we will enable Bitcoin2x withdrawals from the platform.
Scenario 2: Network is usable
If transactions are being confirmed at a reasonable speed and miner support is strong, we will allow Coinbase customers to withdraw Bitcoin2x. We will not immediately enable buys and sells as previously stated, but we may enable them at a later date.
We will keep customers updated through our blog.
Thank you,
Coinbase Team

oh wow, this shit is getting complicated on a human level

like drama drama

not complicated tech shit

Like LTC a lot.

I see LTC as the "Little Engine that Could", but just has a hard time getting over the hump with the disparity in acceptance compared to Bitcoin. However, with the recent fiasco of Bitcoin transactions slowing to a crawl and becoming expensive, it may have motivated people to take a 2nd look at using LTC for normal everyday transactions while simply holding Bitcoin as savings and only using BTC for the larger transactions. If LTC can get adoption numbers alongside Bitcoin (which may happen with the recent developments in the Lightning development), I can very well see Litecoin being the transaction currency with Bitcoin being the savings/reserve currency.

I agree. Most undervalued crypto out there. It should be #2 or #3 on market cap. I am actively mining it with Bitmain L3+s

What does LTC bring to the game?

Until the recent power struggle with bitcoin coming to a head, Litecoin was nice test for bitcoin with SegWit and soon Lightning. Now I agree with your points that LTC could be the dominant transaction currency.

Many of my transactions are now being done in LTC because of the fee and speed. Lee has LTC on the right track.

Raiders... do you think this fork with happen in a few hours? Or is it just smoke?

[raiders72001]

What does LTC bring to the game?

Pretty much the same as bitcoin with blocks being created 4 times faster. Then LTC added off-chain transaction that help with speed and fees.

[raiders72001]

Raiders... do you think this fork with happen in a few hours? Or is it just smoke?

I think the fork occurs but I don't think it will immediately get a lot of support. I could be 100% wrong. Too much money is involved and the behind the doors meetings are scary.

Thanks for the info and advice. So basically... it's sort of worthless keeping the BTC at an exchange? We're not going to gain anything extra from this?
