Bitcoin owners and enthusiasts spent Tuesday night and

Wednesday morning raging against Coinbase — one of the most
popular apps for exchanging U.S dollars to blockchain-based
digital currencies — after the trading platform unexpectedly
began exchanging BTC’s controversial rival “Bitcoin Cash,” then
quickly crashed as its new product became illiquid.
In case you’re lost after that sentence, let us first take you through a primer on the
situation:
BREITBART CONNECT
What Is Bitcoin Cash?
Bitcoin Cash (BCH) is a “fork” of Bitcoin (BTC), essentially a carbon copy of the existing
currency with distinctive structural changes — in Bitcoin Cash’s case, an increase in the
amount of data allowed in each “block” of recorded transactions. Bitcoin has seen many
forks through its eight years, but BCH took the novel step of duplicating every user’s FROM THE WEB Ads by Revcontent
existing balance — if you owned 3.3 Bitcoin at the time of the fork, you owned 3.3 Bitcoin
and 3.3 units of Bitcoin Cash after. Some high-profile early Bitcoin advocates have
switched allegiance to BCH, notably Roger Ver, the owner of Bitcoin.com, and Jihan Wu,
the co-founder of Bitmain, which manufactures a large share of the devices used in
Bitcoin/Litecoin/Dash/Bitcoin Cash mining.
http://www.breitbart.com/tech/2017/12/20/bitcoin-coinbase-surprise-launch-bcash/ 1/15
Why Do BTC & BCH Hate Each Other?

Right now, sending Bitcoin is very slow and expensive because people are performing
transactions much faster than the network can confirm them. BCH fans say that their coin
can handle Bitcoin’s transaction volume without high fees or long wait times because of Remember Her? Try Not to Gasp
the larger size of blocks in its blockchain. Bitcoin Cash advocates say that their coin is when You See Her Now
closer to the “original vision” of Satoshi Nakamoto, Bitcoin’s pseudonymous creator, of Fitness Morale
peer-to-peer digital cash that can be used for everyday commerce like buying a cup of
coffee.

off the popularity of BTC instead of trying to build up their project on its own merits. Ver
often makes statements conflating the two projects’ identities, such as: “Bitcoin Cash is the

Critics believe that BCH is trying to capitalize on confusion, receiving money intended for
Bitcoin; for instance, the official Bitcoin.com mobile app creates a Bitcoin Cash wallet
instead of a BTC one by default. A recent, unverified anecdote from a Bitcoin fan claims
that he witnessed someone lose money trying to buy Bitcoin at an ATM, not realizing that
the wallet he created with Ver’s app could not receive it.

“Insider Trading”
Coinbase launched its trading capability for Bitcoin Cash around 8:20 EST, with an
announcement on GDAX’s status page about 75 minutes beforehand. Several critics
pointed out that trading volume on other exchanges — and thus the BCH price — curiously
spiked in the hours before Coinbase made its announcement. That led to widespread
accusations of “insider trading.”

appropriate legal action,” he wrote. Armstrong claimed that employees and contractors
were forbidden from trading Bitcoin Cash on any exchange or disclosing the company’s
plans, even to “friends and family” — “over a month ago.”
Yet given the semi-anonymous nature of BTC/BCH, it appears almost impossible for a
private company to effectively investigate insider trading or enforce non-disclosure rules.
Bitcoin exchanges without fiat support do not require identity verification, so we may
never discover who acquired Bitcoin Cash right before the Coinbase launch. Bitcoin
maximalists mocked Armstrong rather mercilessly for his statement.

Failure to Launch
Even as most traders were caught off guard by the launch, it seems Coinbase and GDAX
were not prepared, either. The site quickly halted the ability to buy and sell BCH — after
only four minutes of trading, according to GDAX’s status updates.
The sudden activation of BCH trades seemed to contradict multiple public statements
from the company. Coinbase VP Dan Romero wrote just days before the BCH launch that
“We are prioritizing security and performance over new features,” promising customers
that the company was more focused on integrating SegWit than adding new products to
the service.
“In terms of our engineering priorities, securely storing customer funds remains our top
priority,” Romero said. “Our next priority is to ensure that our platform remains
performant during periods of peak volume. Following security and performance, we are
focused on adding new features for our customers.”
Four days after publishing this blog, Coinbase launched a new feature that inarguably
choked its performance.

6:27 AM - Dec 20, 2017

In addition, most users expected the company to limit Bitcoin Cash functionality to
withdrawals for at least a brief time period. Romero published a blog post on August 3,
several days after the creation of Bitcoin Cash, promising to give users access to their
forked coins by January 1, 2018. He seemed to suggest that trading support would come
“at a later date” — after the creation of BCH wallets for all Coinbase users. That
expectation was reinforced by a “road map” displayed on Coinbase’s website just days
before the launch (as seen in a December 13 archive here).

Coinbase did not respond to an email from Breitbart News asking why the company
launched trading with almost no advance notice — instead of first giving users time to
withdraw and manage the BCH they gained during the August fork, then announcing a
future date when trading would begin. Coinbase did not answer whether an apparent leak
of BCH functionality in their API accelerated the decision to activate Bitcoin Cash trading.
At the time of this writing, the Coinbase website is still using placeholder images on the
page containing its instructions for BCH purchases.

“Price Manipulation”
After Coinbase and GDAX disabled Bitcoin Cash trades, users posted several screenshots
of the interface showing the coin’s price spiking way above $9,000, while on virtually all
other exchanges it hadn’t cracked $4,000. The Twitter account of a CNBC program used
one of these screenshots to tease an interview with Roger Ver on Wednesday.

At the time of this writing, Bitcoin’s price has dipped to around $16,400 per full unit,
down from a high earlier this week of about $20,000 but roughly the same as it was one
week ago. Bitcoin Cash is currently trading about $4,000 per full unit, according to
CoinMarketCap.

The Bitcoin community is doing everything it can to make Coinbase feel the heat for the
events of the past 24 hours — with many of the company’s critics urging others to boycott
or delete the app and promoting a rival exchange called Gemini.

Personally, I’m not sure that I will stop using Coinbase’s GDAX platform — which allows
me to exchange small amounts of USD for Bitcoin without any fees. And I doubt that a
Twitter campaign will make a noticeable dent in the company’s bottom line; it has millions
of users and processes billions of dollars in assets. But Coinbase users, like anyone buying
from digital currency exchanges, should exercise extreme caution and make sure
that you own your Bitcoin. The whole point of the technology is to have trustless exchange
— and it’s becoming clearer that any centralized store or exchange of assets should not
automatically be trusted. Always remember to store your assets offline if possible, in
hardware or paper wallets, or on a device that is only connected to the Internet when you
need to use it.
