RE: Fork Christ's Sake: Bitcoin is going to fork. Is SegWit Bitcoin? Whose side should I be on?
Coinbase or any other exchange is crazy not to support both chains, at least temporarily. It's a bit like stealing money.
Yep. I agree.
Although that point is clearly known. It is your fault if you don't have control over your coins.
My concern is that I've directed a lot of non-technical people to use Coinbase to purchase coins. Most of them don't have the technical skills to safely manage their own keys.
In that case, I trust Coinbase to not mess it up too badly. They stay in business by pleasing customers.
The new banks have much less stick and pull compared to traditional banks - something to keep in mind.
