Well because I don't have a hardware wallet, plus if I wanna sell that B2X quickly enough, it has to be a place that allows it.

Some got their account suspended for really no reason?

Coinbase seems big enough to be trusted, well, more than Kraken IMHO (how to trust an exchange that has been broken for months..).
Also I don't know yet if I'm gonna hold my BTC's in the long term.

If you want your B2X after split tokens why not just hold your coins in a safe wallet where you are in control of your private keys instead of having to trust someone else with it? Do you have to absolutely use an online wallet instead of Electrum(sorry i may have misunderstood your intentions a little but clarify if you can).

As far as i know, there are only limits in terms of your buying from credit cards on coinbase.

No limits on sending/receiving bitcoin, but i've seen in some cases where gamblers get their account suspended.

Hello,
I'm on Kraken & Bitstamp and it looks like these won't even bother telling if they will support B2X or not. While not really interested in B2X, I count on it to compensate for the dip it will be responsible for.

So, I regged at Coinbase, only with ID because their system sucks & I have no other proof of identity that they expect. Of course, that means no GDAX & thus no trading of the B2X but anyway.. at least I'll be able to transfer my BTC's from Kraken/Bitstamp to Coinbase.

..but I'm not sure, since they have limits on transfers until account is verified further. From what I read that applies to fiat only, not BTC, but it's kinda unclear.
Never transfered BTC's before, and it's quite scary to read that a problem in the transfer means a permanent loss. But I guess it's no problem?

I know that Kraken's daily withdraw limit in USD *does* apply to BTC, though. Since Coinbase says it will block transfers a day before the split, that matters.


Thanks
