Dear Coinbase Customer,
The User Activated Hard Fork (UAHF) is a proposal to increase the Bitcoin block size scheduled to activate on August 1.
The UAHF is incompatible with the current Bitcoin ruleset and will create a separate blockchain. Should UAHF activate on August 1, Coinbase will not support the new blockchain or its associated coin.
The User Activated Soft Fork (UASF) is a proposal to adopt Segregated Witness on the Bitcoin blockchain and could result in network instability. It is scheduled to activate at the same time as the UAHF.
To ensure the safety of customers’ funds, we will temporarily suspend bitcoin deposits, withdrawals, and buy/sell starting approximately 4 hours before activation of either fork.
• If you currently have bitcoin in your Coinbase account, and do not wish to have access to UAHF coins or have immediate access to your bitcoin, you are not required to take any action.
• If you wish to have access to UAHF coins or you wish to have immediate access to your bitcoin, you should send your bitcoin from Coinbase to your external address by July 31.
Thank you, Coinbase Team

If there's going to be a fork, Don't trust your assets with these online holders. MOVE TO A PRIVATE WALLET

A lot of people lost potential ETC gains in the ethereum fork.

Ethereum splits; you get only ETH or ETC, not both.
Same with BTC.

you keep the same amount of coins. If you are on your personal wallet, you will get 2x the coins.

Potentially profitable, unless the hardfork literally breaks bitcoin. Then you get nothing.

But that happens even if you have it on coinbase, so if you're holding bitcoin, you might as well send it to external wallet to get free coins.

Coinbase is going to try everything in its power to have Litecoin replace Bitcoin as the leading crypto currency.

It is too boring and safe unfortunately so it does not get the atttention it deserves, by the end of August it wouldn't be surprising for ltc to hover around $70 - $90.

Alot of people starting to learn more about ltc and its advantages over btc & eth.

There are literally no advantages. All of the issues that have faced BTC and ETH is simply because they are more successful.

Its the only coin with a straight upward overall trend. Etherem has a straight downward trend. Bitcoin is just doing its own thing as the alpha of the pack.

Ok. I have a question.

I have my btc on bittrex.
My personal wallet is exodus.

If I move my coins to my personal wallet (exodus) how do i get the coins in both chains? Because right now I have one btc address. Whats the process in which I can get the 2 currencies? After transfering them, do I get 2 different adresses or what?

>> No.2824742

>>2824084
Actually the ETH/ETC thing was a special case because it was split on the stolen funds.

In the event of a bitcoin hardfork, your private keys can still make transactions on both forks. One fork has no way of checking literally every other fork out there, it just worries about it's own network.

You get twice the coins, but they are worth half as much.

>> No.2824837

Holy fuck its real I have never stored them anywhere but cb how do I get keys? I only use mobile btw

>> No.2824903

>>2824742
They're worth as much value as is placed on them, which will depend on adoption rate and incoming speculation, so not really worth half as much so much as you own both coins at whatever their final price is at that given moment.

I have the greatest idea ever.
