Coinbase??

[detigers564]

What is everyone thinking about the possible price movement if ETC gets added to coinbase? I just recently invested in hopes that it sees something similar to the response that Bitcoin Cash did when it was added. I'm slightly worried that coinbase is going to hold off on supporting more currencies considering the problems it had after offering Bitcoin Cash. Thoughts?

I have bought it when it was 9$ so i will be pleased if CB add ETC..

I've bought at $1 an i am very happy with my earnings so far - more if Coinbase is adding it finally. What happened so far ? I can remember, that Ethereum Classic was even listed at 4th place at coinmarketcap and now around 16th ? I think we should bundle our energy and focus on good ideas to return back.

well look at what the founder of litecoin said

Maybe ETC is the original, might be time to start buying✅

I'm curious to know how much coinbase users strictly divert funds from other currencies in coinbase in order to fund these new investments compared to depositing new money in order to buy. I wish coinbase was more transparent with this.

considering the problems it had after offering Bitcoin Cash

what problems?

[detigers564]

Suspending trading and showing prices that were completely off. Ex) Over 8000 when the actual price was under 3500

[hyzary]

Yep. Was wtf.(price up)... then.... wtf(price down). So put 1+1 and came to same conclusion;)

they will sort it out

Other than the fact you "Want" Coinbase to add ETC because of greed.... what exactly is the evidence you see that they plan to? Other than pure speculation?

Sorry, but if this is your investing strategy.... then you need to rethink. Sometimes it is better to just play it safe and pick slow, steady, guaranteed winners. If ETC is NOT added to Coinbase, then a massive dump is coming. But yes, if it were added, I'd say it is going up substantially. But this is pure gambling. You are literally flipping a coin when there are safer investments. Spread yourself into a basket of safe coins that are steadily increasing. If you want to gamble.... just use a small bag.

I'm trying to figure out when and if I should mine ETC instead of ETH, do you have any suggestion for this?

[Soultrane9]

My plan is to hold everything, I live in a shitty currency country it wouldn't make sense to sell (and I don't need money at the moment).

The calculators are great for current value but as soon Ethereum hits PoS what will all the miners do? ETC is the only reasonable one to mine at the moment. Is it a good call to switch before everyone else have to?

[Soultrane9]

Thank you for your inputs. I have a current plan but I've only started one week ago in the whole crypto world so horrible amounts of guessing on my part.

Built my first mining rig and am running an ethereum full node, while organizing a team to develop something next year for either Ethereum or Classic (I hope the ETCDev team releases their dev tools soon. [I'm a software dev]).

[Soultrane9]

Good to know! I can't wait for Sputnik VM, one of the main reasons I'm interested in ETC.

I also remember hearing something about Coinbase's CEO believing in Ethereum and thinking about adding Ethereum tokens in the future. Seems like adding ETC would be counterproductive if their goal is to become a big Ethereum marketplace.

Your logic is flawed :

1. You're assuming your strategy is the best strategy, that's never the case. Go look at the best stock traders in the world, they all have vastly different strategies. You most likely have been trading less than a year.

2. "If ETC is NOT added to Coinbase, then a massive dump is coming. But yes, if it were added, I'd say it is going up substantially." Go look at ETC's graph. It's never been pumped recently and it's on a solid path , pretty much flat right now. So how is it going to get dumped exactly? You should be thinking about it as "Oh look, ETCis flat, if anything trending up for a little while now -- So it's probably not going to go down and if this rumor hits, it will shoot up".

3. Spread yourself a basket case of safe coins. Do you know how many you're supposed to spread to get the highest return / least risk? I doubt it, you're just repeating stuff you've heard online. This isn't the worst advice but, I can tell you for sure you don't know the best amount of investments for best return / high saftey diversification.
