For buying you can also load up coinbase with fiat and send that to GDAX.

Just youtube it if you need.

Any chance you can elaborate on this slightly... I just put 5k into coinbase.... How do I buy bitcoin commission free? Youtube doesnt seem to answer this

open up gdax.com while you are logged into coinbase, and it will let you sign in automatically. (they are the same company). just send money over to gdax and use their trading platform. set limit orders.

And then once you're done there, send some BTC to Bittrex and exchange it for Bitcoin Cash so that you hold a balance of all forks.

No one knows which fork will be valued higher by the market long-term. That's why we balance.

Cheers gents. Been following for a while. Finally started to put money into it today. Going to put 25k in total.. Reckon BC/Eth and some BTCash for now

I have read the above link so understand what a limit order is, just wondering why we set them?

i'd hold off!

feels like BTC could go quite a bit lower in the short term. seems like it's directly correlated with the BCH pump.

seems like BCH could cause the exact type of problems that the B2x coin could have caused. if it becomes more profitable to mine BCH than BTC, things could get hairy.

bitcoin.com telegraphed their intentions pre-fork, that if the fork failed, they were going to throw their marketing resources into BCH and they've done that.

if you're a complete newbie and head to bitcoin.com right now, you're going to think that Bitcoin and Bitcoin Cash are one in the same, like Pepsi and Diet Pepsi or something like that.

How do you buy BCH if money is on coinbase? IS there a website you send it to?

Why is coinbase always talked about then when I check the volume by exchange and trading pair(https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/bitcoin/#markets), coinbase isn't even listed?

edit: the bitcoin cash pump seems to be fueled by south korean money https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies...-cash/#markets

i'm not talking about miners switching back and forth. i'm saying if BCH gets pumped high enough, it might go from intermittently more profitable to permanently more profitable and then the BTC code would need to change to win back the miners. this sort of thing could cause chaos in the prices.

i agree with that. what is your guess on what's causing the price shift today?

could it be roger ver himself, single handedly moving the price by selling off his own coins and buying BCH? has anyone ever guessed exactly how many coins he has?

surely nobody knows how much BCH he has, but i bet it's a lot!

There is no USD to BCH exchange as far as I know, which is why this flow from BTC to BCH seems entirely within intra-community shifting rather than new money coming in and buying the Bitcoin.com narrative.

I was under the impression that Ver is in South Korea hyping the hell out of it.

Yea sure, BCH just needs to increase its marketcap by $95bln.

Since Bitcoin scaling is virtually dead for the next few years, perhaps people speculate that businesses will transition marketing and product services to BCH due to brand recognition and low fees... hence the increased valuation.

Funny how moneys running to BCH for transactional purposes. ETH already has them smoked and will continue to keep improving. All they need to do is get inflation under control and ETH will ****ing reign and MAKE IT RAIN.

I hodl BTC and it's fine.. I got my BCH fork. But what do investors who want to invest in bitcoin buy now? It's annoying as **** that you have an idea that bitcoin might be big, and now you have to pick what ****ing bitcoin. Mark my words, ETH gets inflation under control and everyone will wonder how BTC made it so long.

BCH will capture gray-area marketspace due to brand recognition and scalability. Gambling sites are losing BTC customer deposits in the $10-$100 range due to fees, and the promised second layer solutions are years away.

Please stop paying BCH any mind. It's an utter crap coin, and will trend towards zero before too long. The price looks high and relevant now, but it's just altcoin hype and manipulation. Also, some huge stacks of BCH will become available in the coming months, putting lots of sell pressure on the coin, with no new buying pressure. Anybody that wanted to buy could have done so since right after the fork.

I'd like to note that Bitcoin Unlimited has gone up in price similarly to BCH. I think some Bitcoin investors were really wanting a block increase. They don't like the 1MB limit. They thought they'd get it with B2X, but since they suspended it those people are like. **** it I'm getting BCH. Bitcoin Unlimited has an unlimited blocksize correct? I haven't done any research on Bitcoin Unlimited before.

I'm really bummed about BCH doing well. I don't like the idea of it possibly passing BTC and getting the name "bitcoin" for itself.
