Bitcoin Cash was listed in an incredibly dishonest way. They “surprised” announced it at 8pm on a Tuesday night. Along with the “launch” they had disabled selling bch from the fork (you could only buy). The launch coincided with Roger Ver and numerous CNBC “stories” trashing Bitcoin. It was so shady Coinbase agreed to launch an insider trading investigation.

Worse, coinbase is dragging their feet improving their Bitcoin technology stack. At this point it appears intentional.

That is not an accurate chain of events.

I understand why they did not pre-announce. They would have been attacked by rabid BTC fans, plus a bunch of astroturfers and bots.
