One thing keeps me wondering: what BTC volatility we may see soon, onvce all Bitcoins will soon be removed from the exchanges ? Such a shalow market can (potentialy) show some crazy spikes, right?
Hrm. I hadn't actually thought about that, but you might be right. It depends on how much of people on exchanges are that activist that they would actually pull money from exchanges? I guess fewer than you'd expect. People are lazy and poorly informed.
Hard to understand this. I always had withdrawing my funds from exchanges as soon as have complete my trades. Been doing this since long before Mt.Gox crash. Never have lost even 1 satoshi in the exchanges.
Funny..I was just researching "Bitcoin Cash" on google & now you post this.
One thing is for certain: if you want to maximize your holdings, it’s in your best interest to get your Bitcoin off third-party services and control your own private keys before August 1st.
Moved some to paper wallet last night, thank you for info cheers!!!
What do you mean when you say, "I intend to make sure all my BTC are off Coinbase this week." I have a little handful of XRP and some changed of BTC on my bittrex account. Oh, and I have like $20.00 US in btc on my bitpay app on my phone.
All my Coinbase BTC I will send to a wallet I control. When you have coins with an exchange, they control the coins -- they "custody" them for you. But that means you are at their discretion as to how they custody your assets.
So if I send them to a wallet I control, I am no longer under their discretion and I will have full access to the private keys that correspond to the BTC accounts that hold my BTC.
Thanks- I've been averaging with Ethereum on a small scale, thinking about doing the same with Bitcoin but I feel the price may be a little inflated right now.
Hey @eeks i have a coin base account and I only have invested in #Ethereum and #litecoin , but i seen a message on my coinbase related to what your content is , so i logged on and clicked on it and here is what stuck out most ,
UAHF or UASF ? WHAT ARE THE CHANGES THAT ARE COMING
There are two major upcoming proposals that will affect the Bitcoin protocol and network. These are known as the UAHF and UASF.
The current User Activated Hard Fork (UAHF), including BitcoinABC, is a proposal to alter the Bitcoin protocol by creating a new version of the Bitcoin software, which will operate on its own, separate blockchain.
In contrast, the User Activated Soft Fork (UASF), also known as BIP148, is a proposal to alter the Bitcoin protocol by merging new features into the Bitcoin software, but continue using the same existing blockchain. The proposed features for the upcoming UASF include Segregated Witness, a technology designed to increase the amount of transactions that can be made over the Bitcoin network, and increase the security of the network.
This is really going to throw a wrench in the spokes , oh yea ,and I would also like to mention that this UAHF or UASF is going to effect your coinbase , and your GDAX , sounds like a mess to me , if anyone can see the good in this or would like to read the rest of the whole report check me out @jakeworkingman , you get my upvote , follow an a resteem STEEM ONN /customer/portal/articles/2844217-uahf-uasf-faq

shhhhh! ;)
My same thoughts lol!
this is a very interesting...sell orders will be significantly less later this week
Should I take my BTC off Bittrex? Or will I get Bitcoin Cash if I hold it on there?
I am not sure Bittrex has made an announcement yet. I would check with them.
I believe Bittrex will give you your BCH (Bitcoin Cash). I will have BTC on Kraken and Bittrex and in my own wallets.

Thanks for the info. #nooblife
Thanks for info. If I don't own any Bitcoin yet, would buying before Aug 1st be a good bet in your opinion?
I can't say. I'd only give you stock advice like don't invest what you can't afford to set on fire and dollar cost average in over time.

Bitmain does "not rule out the possibility of supporting both Segwit2x and BCC."

Thanks for the intel! I'm working on a project and I will check your post today.
How will one access bitcoincash? Need a separate wallet?
Unclear right now. Bitcoin Cash shares this.
