yes. when one tanks, the other will most likely flourish.....alt coins have moved in unison with ethereum, and btc and bch have countered one another.. those are the trends I'm trying to work around to minimize the losses.

Unfortunately I think you have to hedge at this point. One of them will eventually kill the other imo. I hope it's btc but not willing to risk it all.

There was definite insider info/manipulation. Tons of people posting charts in the hours before the coinbase launch, prices sky rocketing, then hit peak and coinbase freezes for the sharks to exit.

actually don't think so. wouldn't say kill.. one is meant to be a long term blockchain product. the other is trying to replace fiat. not pulling money out of btc, just adding money I was going to buy more btc with on bch now.

320 is a steal. I like it better than bitcoin cash personally, but bitcoin cash has the name so the market cap will gravitate further.

if the main reason is fees and transaction time then people can use segwit bitcoin wallets(address starts with 3 not 1) instead of legacy wallets

blockchain.info will support segwit wallets next yr

Manipulation going on right now. This hour alts are in the green while Bitcoin Cash is in the red. Then it will reverse.

This has been happening for 4 hours. Been selling btc at 17000 ish and buying back at 16000 ish 3 times, waiting on the potential 4th if it gets up to 17000 again tonight.

The same. Wasn't meaning sell btc to add bch, was saying I otherwise wasn't going to touch bitcoin cash and now am going to get some just in case.

Coinbase is trending on Twitter with over 60k Tweets. It looks like a lot of people aren't happy with the roll out.

**Ro0k** · 12-20-17, 03:18 AM

The equivalent of insider trading from what I'm reading.

**eidolon** · 12-20-17, 03:34 AM

Invested in INK yesterday, went up then back down. But the weird thing is, someone a little bit ago put up a 1 million dollar sell block at 848. This coin only has 150million invested, so putting that amount is ridiculous to me

**ans61201** · 12-20-17, 03:37 AM

Just a heads up, Charlie (creator of ltc with yet another risky public tweet) this time he's claiming he sold every last ltc he has. (His reasoning is pretty thinned skinned)

With that said, as much as I believe in ltc the coin, his moves are odd at best. And could easily drive the value into the ground. Also as much as he says he will still be invested in the best outcome for the coin, will he have the same motivation if he truly sold his financial stake in it?

**hotcross** · 12-20-17, 03:46 AM

yes, you fade this fukkin clown Charlie

**mrpapageorgio** · 12-20-17, 03:59 AM

Ok weird, I tried to move BCH over to Binance. The first time it worked fine. Now I tried to move more and the Tx that Coinbase/GDAX gave me is giving me errors that the transaction can't be found when I go to block explorers to look it up. Is CB having problems or is the BCH mempool having issues right now?

You need to do some investigating. He invented lite coin and was on the team that invented bit coin. But i think he was just saying be careful. If it goes back to 20 I'm going to buy a shitload.

He sold all of his shares of ltc today. He may have good intentions with this, but it gives a bad sign to investors.

Litecoin founder Charlie Lee has sold all of his LTC | TechCrunch

https://techcrunch.com/2017/12/20/litecoin-charlie-lee-conflict-of-interest/?ncid=mobilenavtrend

Charlie Lee, the former director of engineering at Coinbase, is selling almost all of his holdings in Litecoin (LTC), the cryptocurrency that he founded

From what I gather people been giving him grief over conflict of interest. This way when he brags about it now he has no conflict.

**chico2663** · 12-20-17, 06:28 AM

“Whenever I tweet about Litecoin price or even just good or bads news, I get accused of doing it for personal benefit. Some people even think I short LTC! So in a sense, it is conflict of interest for me to hold LTC and tweet about it because I have so much influence. I have always refrained from buying/selling LTC before or after my major tweets, but this is something only I know. And there will always be a doubt on whether any of my actions were to further my own personal wealth above the success of Litecoin and crypto-currency in general,” Lee wrote.
We don’t know how many LTC that Lee held, and had sold, but now he said he is focused on developing the cryptocurrency itself.

Segwit2x IS BACK ON!

http://b2x-segwit.io/

Our team will carry out the Bitcoin hard fork – Segwit2X, which was expected in mid-November. At the same time, its futures trading is conducted on some exchanges, including HitBTC.

We promise that all BTC holders will receive, not only B2X in the ratio of 1:1, but also as a reward for your commitment to progress, the proportional number of Bitcoin of Satoshi Nakamoto who mined it in the first year of the network’s existence,” commented Jaap Terlouw, the project CEO.

Yep, you'll have to wait.

Which is why it's best to send coins with faster transmissions.
